Pink Mountaintops "Get Back"

 

There is so much junk in my musical trunk that I had completely forgotten my connection to this band.  One of my clients who is in the targeted demo for this blog ( > half century of age) asked if Pink Mt.tops was a spinoff of Black Mountain.  I had to say I didn't remember but I knew Black Mt. had a record a few years ago that blew me away.  I went back to the post and there it was, the reference to the fact that I "discovered" Pink Mountaintops a decade ago!  So embarrassing...    Anywho, the first four tracks of this album were exceptional, the only hindrance being the punkish vocals of the opener, you know, the off-key squalling kind, but the musical base was splendid.  Two of the next tracks had me yelling "New Model Army!" 



Sorry, thought you needed some reference material...   This is one of the tracks I referred to reminding me of NMA...



The other of the four had the 80's British style of say Inspiral Carpets or Stone Roses.  So do the connections with these bands and I'm screaming at my voice recorder, "they had better be a UK band!"  Remember that I had forgotten I had known them in the previous decade.  So, fuck me, they're Canadian.  The next half record wanders into other territories and it's OK but nothing special, and then the final track closes with 7+ minutes of outstanding psychedelic rock...



Going to make this permanent in my new digital storage location instead of the Featured 500.  Not quite good enough for a physical copy but good, nonetheless...
