Rather than churn out a turgid 70′s rock clone fest, Black Mountain have delivered a powerful cocktail of prog and straight-up jams on their third record that more than deserves your attention.
Black Mountain
Black Mountain, Unthanks, Dengue Fever and More For End of the Road
Black Mountain are to return to these shores for End of the Road 5 in September. Oh! Canada and TLOBF celebrate by giving you free music!
Lightning Dust – Bush Hall, London 30/11/09
Lightning Dust maybe another side-project of those guys from Black Mountain, but their beautiful alt-country vibes are perfectly suite to a live setting according to Adam Elmahdi.
Lightning Dust – Infinite Light
Although ‘Infinite Light’ sees the band broaden their sonic palette, too often Lightning Dust resort to a melancholy kind of folk infused pop that while pleasant, merely drifts by rather than capturing the listeners attention.
Pink Mountaintops – Outside Love
Stephen McBean’s Black Mountain alter-ego provide a glorious confection of an album that combines hearts-and-flowers and lush (wall of) sound with visceral, arresting and sometimes dark imagery, to beautiful effect. Jude Clarke is smitten.
