Wow, just look at that hair! Sorry, I was just looking at picture after picture of Black Mountain, Vancouver’s long-running (Longest-running? Who knows) group of classic rock revivalists. It’s been 10 years of gorgeous hair for those guys and gals. To celebrate a decade of looking great, the band is putting out a deluxe edition of their self-titled debut on June 23 through Jagjaguwar.
BIG NEWS: each edition of the remastered, reissued Black Mountain comes with a lock of leader Stephen McBean’s sumptuous hair! That is big news that is also not true. What the deluxe edition does have is a host of bonus tracks in a 2xLP and/or 2xCD package. For more on this anniversary release, check out this trailer, which is full of primo hair footage.
Hair hair hair! Yikes, folks, I just can’t get over this hair. Before the hair mania takes over my brain, I want to tell you that Black Mountain are going on tour this summer. Imagine a nightmare scenario with me: You go out to see Black Mountain. You’re excited to hear some great riffs and see some greater hair. Black Mountain take the stage. They’re all wearing cabbie hats. They take the hats off. They’re all completely bald. No.
