Black Mountain - Wilderness Heart


I like Black Mountain, coz they're true to what they do: 70s rock revivalism .Their new album "Wilderness Heart" is coming out this September 14th on Jagjaguwar (as always). It was recorded in Seattle and L.A. with producers Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Boris) and Dave Sardy (LCD Soundsystem, Spoon) with whom they worked for the Spiderman 3 OST : as a result, the sound is split in two: there are songs that scream heavy, clear, rock and there are songs that are more laid back. A significant difference is that the songs are short, and this is not just a pun at "Bright Lights" (an old 17' song of theirs).
There's nothing not true in this album. These Canadians are definately all about what they do, so if classic rock is your cup of tea, drink up. I prefered the last album "In The Future" better, though.
