About
As with Black Mountain, Stephen McBean's other band, the Pink Mountaintops borrow just enough from the annals of rock to lure the listener before injecting their own successful sonic experiments to avoid any retro rehash. But where Black Mountain sponged Sabbath, the Pink Mountaintops negotiate Neil Young’s territory crossed with the weird sounds trying to get out of McBean’s head. “Bad Boogie Ballin’” is a title that may seem like it’s veering toward AC/DC, but the opening cut sounds steeped in <i>Trans</i>-era Young (sans Vocoder) as a hyperventilating accordion matches drum machine beats to produce something that sounds like it could have been forged by Canadian robots in Tom Waits’ boiler room. “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy” is a spooky serenade sounding as eerie as “Revolution Blues” but with sexy results (every song here muses on sexual themes, by the way), though “Sweet ‘69“ is the standout, sounding like “Hey Bo Diddley” being sung by Chan Marshall’s long lost twin brother.
