Imagine yourself atop a black mountain. You are in Canada. Secretly. In the distance you see a cross-eyed Jaguar, known in zoology circles as a Jagjaguwar. Faintly you hear a dark and angelic, utterly haunting revelry. You may be stoned. You may be listening to Lightning Dust. Joshua Wells and Amber Webber, both Black Mountaineers, are teaming up again to release their second album together, In...

Last year, Black Mountain appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien; toured with Bon Iver as part of the excellently named "Friendship Tour Two Thousand and Great"; rocked crowds at All Tomorrow's Parties, Coachella, SXSW, and Glastonbury; and released In the Future, the much-ballyhooed rock epic that made me think about wizards and stuff when I listened to it, but actually didn't have many mys...

Oh Canada, you've been so good to me. Other than hosting me on numerous stays in the past few months (my sister has recently relocated to Montreal) you've brought us good things like maple syrup, ice hockey, BC bud, Terrance and Philip and the Arts & Crafts label. And with another year comes another top ten submission for the third ever Polaris Shortlist Music Prize. Just, like our own Shortlis...

While details are scarce at this point and time, we now know Black Mountain will release a new album in January titled In the Future. In the mean time, the band will be burning up the road on tour, starting in late September. While on tour fans will get a chance to purchase a special 12 inch that contains tunes that won't appear on the new album. The 12 inch will also contain a golden ticket th...

Thinking back, I wasn't too crazy about Black Mountain the first time i heard them. At the time, I was consuming massive amounts of new music. They just didn't fit what I was into at the time. But, lately, they keep sneaking their way into my shuffle and I stop to see who it is. It's Black Mountain AGAIN!Maybe I DO like this retro rock (60's/70's style) more than I initially figured. There's so...

Did you hear that new joke-rock album by "Black Mountain?" Hilarious! What? Isn't a joke? Huh...But seriously, folks, this album kinda sucks. I don't want to so blatantly talk shit. I mean, the guys are talented musicians for sure; they could very definitely rock your ass off, but their new one, In the Future, just feels like fabricated leather. What I'm trying to say here is that the album has...

definately worth a listen. Has a trance vibe to it. Makes me wish I hadn't given up pot.

Why haven't I heard of these guys until now?? This band kicks some major ass! This is why I love music... Day after day I can listen to such repetitive garbage and then BING! BANG! BOOOOM! Black Mountain falls from the sky. Their sound is very much classic rock with a modern psychedelic chocolate fudge twist. The leader of the band Stephen McBean (check out his other band Pink Mountaintops) has...

Some albums I have bought recently have faded fast, becoming nothing more than background music to my screenwriting marathons. Vancouver band 'Black Mountain's self titled album definitely doesn't fit into this category. Black Mountain's sound is exactly what it says on the box, "BLACK and MOUNTAINOUS". From the tongue in cheek sax built dig at the music industry of 'Modern Music' to the Sabbat...

Art via polarismusicprize.caSo it's finally here - Polaris Music Prize Weekend! As the city, nay - the COUNTRY - gears up for what's surely the biggest event in the Canadian cultural calendar with the always popular Polaris Parade, the Polaris Hot Dog Eating Contest, the Polaris Dirigible Race, the Polaris Ultimate Fighting Championship... there's just too much to do! Okay, that's not reall...
