Some Butler / Ward funk, Iommi wah flutters and floating synths ... randomly rediscovered on a cruise through some red sand tropics. Nearly ten years on and still pulling riffs from the sky.... never say die! You’re never too old to switch on and upwards!” Amazon Music listeners can find Black Mountain’s cover of “Junior’s Eyes” on the playlist The Setlist, which celebrates the best music of the moment in indie rock.

Dec. 8 - San Francisco, CA @ The Independent * = w/ Graveyard Praise for Destroyer: “the metal outfit prove there's plenty of life left in their road-trip rock.” - Pitchfork “[Destroyer[ builds the band’s best parts — resin-stained riffs, pop sensibilities, and space-prog ambitions — into a turbocharged, efficient package that pulls ahead of their stoner rock rep.” - Sharp “ a heavy, crunchy, head-banging good time with eight tracks to throw the sign of the horns to.” - Paste “Black Mountain have always been great at doing all the things that bongwater-gargling riff-monsters should be good at doing. They have titanic canyon-spanning hooks. They’ve got enough dynamic range to switch their style up a few times within the space of a single song...On Destroyer, all of that is in very clear evidence. It’s enough to fill up your soul.” - Stereogum “[Destroyer] goes from tracks like Pretty Little Lazies and Boogie Lover that’ll send you through meandering back roads, to high-octane anthems like Licensed To Drive that’ll make you reach for the gear change – best left for the highways.” - Guitar Download hi-res jpegs of Black Mountain and cover art – www.pitchperfectpr.com/black-mountain/ Official Website | Jagjaguwar | Twitter | Facebook For more information, contact: Patrick Tilley, Brid Walpole | Pitch Perfect PR – [email protected], [email protected] .
