If you dig Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Hawkwind...

... you have to check out a band called Black Mountain. Jeff Ament listed their 2010 album Wilderness Heart as one of his favorite albums of that year and for good reason. Just an incredible band. So many layers to their music. They just released a new record called IV and it hasn't left my turntable in a week. I can't recommend them enough.

    They did a great job pressing the vinyl. It sounds really good.

    Havent got a chance to give their new one a listen. I will say " Wilderness Heart " and 2008's "In the Future" were great albums... Surprised they still are unknown by many.... Great band with a great groove
