So...what have you ben listnoeng to?

HAR HAR HAR!

I been listening to a somewhat new band outta Vancouver BC called Black Mountain who delve in similar waters as Pure Reason Revolution, except they are more akin to early Black Sabbath and late Jefferson Airplane (no...really). Lots of fuzzy guitars, driving beat, mellotron (no...really), and delicate vox from both sexes. Think Marty Balin and Grace Slick doing an album with Iomi, Butler, Ward and whoever else on keys. They do get folky on a few songs, but a faux-psychadelia permiates throughout (not unlike the afore mentioned PRR). The new album is called In The Future, but this stuff is certainly a paen to dad's record collection, provided your dad smoked pot and liked acid rock.

more later...
