PINK MOUNTAINTOPS TO TOUR IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM ‘OUTSIDE LOVE’ TO BE RELEASED BY JAGJAGUWAR ON MAY 5TH

Pink Mountaintops, AKA Stephen McBean, will be touring North America this June in support of his third album, Outside Love. McBean has slowly emerged as a distinctive voice and a very special contributor to the North American songbook. A veteran of the Vancouver/Victoria punk rock scene, he is best known for his contributions to acclaimed rock band Black Mountain, as principal songwriter, guitarist and co-vocalist. McBean will be joined on tour by Black Mountain bandmate Matthew Camirand as well as Sophie Trudeau, Sar Friedman, Chad Ross, and Mike Maxymuik.

The ten songs on Outside Love are about or influenced by weddings in Montreal, winter, Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut, Christmas albums, that one Exile song and that one Echo and the Bunnymen song, the Bermuda Triangle, being depressed in the sunshine, people who haven’t made out yet but will in the future, The Everly Brothers, clowns in the ceilings, and bedrooms where skinheads used to live. They are songs of love and hate that read like a Danielle Steele romance novel but that would probably make for bad television. Recorded at multiple studios, Outside Love was mixed at Elmwood Studios by John Congleton (Modest Mouse, Black Mountain, Explosions In The Sky, The Mountain Goats).

Jagjaguwar is offering a free mp3 of standout track “Vampire” – download here!
