Pink Mountaintops- Axis of Evol
Pink Mountaintops is Stephen McBean, who's been in numerous groups over the last two decades, a straight out Punk outfit, a crusty Punk/Metal Band, and most recently, a psych tinged maximal Rock group whose self titled debut, "Black Mountain", captured a great amount of critical acclaim (and meteorically became Jagjaguwar's best selling title). with "Axis of Evol", McBean has once again created something much greater than the sum of his influences. The record almost immediately ramps up into a thumping, buzzing, blissful haze, at various parts sounding like the Velvet Underground or Spacemen 3 or the Jesus And Mary Chain, circa "Psycho Candy". at the end, the album segues into a hypnotic, Smog like meditation. Throughout, McBean sings about love and war, the love of war and the war of love; on the body, on the mind, and on the soul. Experience the record, then think about it in more than one way.
Tracklist:
- Comas
- Cold Criminals
- New Drug Queens
- Slaves
- Plastic Man, You're the Devil
- Lord, Let Us Shine
- How We Can Get Free
