Black Mountain is Matt Camirand, Stephen McBean, Jeremy Schmidt, Amber Webber and Joshua Wells. Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Black Mountain has been making music together since 2004. Their debut album garnered an impressive amount of critical acclaim, including Pitchfork’s prestigious “Best New Music” tag, as well as being deemed by Uncut magazine as the 4th best album of 2005.

Released in early 2008, their latest album “In The Future”, was mostly produced by Black Mountain, was recorded at three different studios, and all but one song was mixed by John Congleton, known for his work with Explosions in the Sky, Modest Mouse, R. Kelly, the Polyphonic Spree and Erykah Badu, amongst others. “Stay Free” – borrowed previously for inclusion on the Spiderman III soundtrack – was recorded, mixed and produced by Dave Sardy, who has done work with the Rolling Stones, Wolfmother and Oasis.

Black Mountain strive to make music that is uncompromising but inclusive.
It’s deep. It’s powerful. Get some!
