Black Mountain – Black Mountain

★★★☆☆ = Good!

What’s it sound like?

A desert rock version of arcade fire: authentic and anthemic.

Thoughts

The band sounds very different here than on in the future. Elements of modern indie are at play and things seem more hopeful than dark and epic (though there is still a rich vision to their sound).

I like the tracks that incorporate sax, it’s used in a kind of jazz freak out way that I think is particularly effective.

Good band.

Black Mountain – In The Future

★★★☆☆ = Good!

What’s it sound like?

Slow burning hard rock

Thoughts

Like a modern version of early stoner black Sabbath; huge compliment there. Requires a certain patience but worth it for fans of the genre.

The epic track bright lights is the possibly the best example, a hard rock build and swell.
