Since forming in 2004, Black Mountain has released three LPs, Black
Mountain (2005), In the Future (2008), and Wilderness Heart (2010), and
two EPs, Druganaut (2004) and Bastards of Light (2008) on the Jagjaguwar
label. A split single with Destroyer was released in Fall 2004 on
Spirit of Orr Records. The "Stormy High" single was released in 2006 on
Suicide Squeeze Records. A vinyl single was released in April 2007 named
"Surrender Sound Session: Unkle vs. Autolux/Black Mountain" with a
remix of "No Hits"
on the B side.
Their self-titled album was chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100
Editor's Picks of 2005. In the Future was a finalist for the 2008
Polaris Music Prize and was also nominated for "Best Alternative Album"
in the 2009 Juno Awards. The song "Stay Free" from In the Future was
featured on the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack.
In 2005 the band opened for Coldplay on their Twisted Logic Tour for three weeks, with their final opening in San Diego.
Leader Stephen McBean also heads another similarly named band, Pink
Mountaintops, who are the more experimental side of McBean's musical
abilities. Black Mountain is the front line band for Black Mountain
Army, a collective of musicians, artists and friends in Vancouver. In an
interview the band said "Black Mountain is just the five of us.
The Black Mountain Army… which has kind of gotten blown out of
proportion, it was kind of just a joke, because everybody thought we
were this hippie collective, like we all lived in one house. But it’s
basically just our friends at home in Vancouver, just our extended
family of creative people that we know."
Several members of the band have, for as long as a decade, worked for
organizations that meet the basic living requirements of the chronically
poor, drug addicted and mentally ill in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside
neighborhood, such as Insite. In an interview, the band said: "After
work we all try not to think too hard about the effect it has on our
lives. It keeps us grounded." ~WIKI
