Black Mountain - scaling new heights
Black Mountain - Tyrants (MP3)Well Stephen Mcbean and his band of merry men (and one merry lady) are back with a fuck-off album gifted from the ghosts of rock past, present and future. in a succinct and perfect distillation, the eternal bon vivant Danny Webb described this as “Black Mountain [their debut album] multiplied by 2″, which will bring a feeling of overbearing euphoria for those familiar with the previous album’s delights (anyone for some “Druganaut”?)
Any release from the award-winning Jagjaguwar stable is always welcome, but when it comes from their prized thoroughbred it truly is a really a call to attention for music lovers worldwide to listen up and “lay their halo down”. After their various well-received solo meanderings (Pink Mountaintops, Sinoia Caves, Lightning Dust et al) this is a welcome return back to the black mountain base, and if this is how 2008 is going to sound then i’ll happily miss Christmas so we can get it can get started tomorrow …
In the future is release on january 22nd 2008. pre-order here!

James added these pithy words on Dec 06 07 at 5:26 pmYeah, this album rules. Been on repeat since I *cough* attained it last week. Better than their first in my opinion. Hopefully this means they’ll tour at some point next year too. They were awesome at The Roadhouse a couple of years back, with Wolf Parade and Dead Meadow supporting.

Kev added these pithy words on Dec 10 07 at 10:32 amhey jude,
indeed it is an awesome album and +1 to the “reaffirming of dwindling faith” indeed. I’ve removed your link, as the site was down this weekend possibly at the behest of jagjaguwar who contacted me directly asking me to remove the mp3s - so i can only think that your link could have upset them further!
as noted in the main post, the album is out in the new year and i will be picking my vinyl copy up on day one …
