Get Back

Pink Mountaintops was originally started by Black Mountain's Steve McBean as a dreamy, more lo-fi alternative to the hearty rock thrills of the latter.

On their fourth LP, the band have moved to California and deliver heedless, flopsweat-drenched, cocaine-hangover California party-rock that harks back to a second adolescence, crafting a set of fizzing, nostalgic songs that capture that particularly exciting, nihilistic time of life. "Alleys, curbs, walls, and cigarette-stained gig flyers. An island on the Pacific coast. Fake British towns. Slayer posters. The beauty of youth. It's about listening to 'Driver's Seat' and 'Guns of Brixton' and hotboxing The Duster."

This time around Pink Mountaintops' revolving-cast lineup features a number of guests including J Mascis, Rob Barbato (The Fall, Cass McCombs), Steve Kille (Dead Meadow), Daniel Allaire (Brian Jonestown Massacre), and Gregg Foreman (Cat Power, Delta 72).

In good hands the album was mixed by Randal Dunn, who has worked with Sunn O))) and Marissa Nadler, among others, and mastered by Howie Weinburg (Nirvana, Ramones, Beastie Boys).
