Black Mountain vs Chuck

Who wants to do COMM assignments when they can listen to Black Mountain’s newest work and Chuck’s crazy, frantic flapdoodles on NBC Online? Not I, my friends, not I. For the better part of the afternoon, I’ve been alternating between watching episodes of my new favorite TV show, Chuck and listening to those Vancouver rockers we all love, Black Mountain. Black Mountain is set to blow everyone away early 2008 with sophomore album Into The Future released via Jagjaguar on 1.21.08.

After giving the LP a few spins, there are definitely some key tracks that any non-fan should listen to. Watch as Black Mountain use simplicity to their advantage, issuing layered instrumentals to construct a breath taking build ups throughout the opus. Don’t call this a review just yet, but Black Mountain have proven that Into The Future will be 2008’s first outstanding releases.

Unfortunately, those without the record already will have to wait until the Web Sheriff and other online authorities get off everyone’s back about the “leaks”. For now, you all can enjoy “Tyrant”, the label released first single, and “Stay Free”, yeah, that boring song that accompanied the Killers’ “Move Away” on the Spider-Man 3 Soundtrack. Good times, horrible movie, but the popcorn was great though.
