After conquering the stages of Turin and Bologna with their Italian dates last week, the Black Mountain are preparing to return to our country for three summer dates with their new album IVpublished on 1 April: Monday 4 July at Villa Ada in Rome, Tuesday 5 July at Parco della Musica in Padua and Wednesday 6 July at Mojotic Festival in Sestri Levante (GE). Special guest of the Roman date of the psychedelic rock band will be the post-punk trio from Pesaro Soviets which, after announcing its participation in the AMA Music Festival in Asolo (TV) alongside Foals, Vitalic and many others, adds a new summer date to its Nice - Summer, Jesus Tour. Advance sales for the three concerts will be active from 11 a.m. on Monday 18 April on circuit TicketOne and related outlets.
I Black Mountain born from the ashes of the Jerk With A Bondof which the leader was a member. Stephen McBean e Joshua Wells. Soon the group turned into a real collective called Black Mountain Armywhich also promotes parallel side projects of the group members (e.g. the Pink Mountaintops of the same McBean). The band's first album is the self-titled Black Mountain (Jagjaguwar, 2005)which surprised critics with its skilful blend of hard rock and psychedelia. In the second work In The Future (Jagjaguwar, 2008) the band added progressive rock and folk elements to their sound; the choice was rewarded, and the album was nominated as a Best alternative album at Juno Awards 2009. The third work Wilderness Heart (Jagjaguwar, 2010) is moving towards a greater reappraisal of the American folk sound, always alongside their classic psychedelic sound of a hard matrix.
I Black Mountain are Stephen McBean (vocals and guitar), Amber Webber (voice), Jeremy Schmidt (keyboards), Jonny Olsin (bass, keyboards) and Joshua Wells (battery).
