Black Mountain are a hard rock band from Vancouver, Canada, and this debut album is a consistent 60s-styled masterpeice. Combining Black Sabbath slow-core guitars and Queens of the Stone Age quirkiness with Kings of Leon-now-featuring-Janis Joplin vocals, the end product is altogether trippy, druggy, warped, and driving enough to rival influences both old (Sabbath, Canned Heat, Cream, Joplin) and new (QOTSA, Husker Du, Lightning Bolt, Kings of Leon). But what really sets the album apart is the spirit and feeling for the music; Black Mountain are not sleep-walking through a 60s re-creation, they are bringing forward something wholly new and unique, and entirely North American.
