WATCH THE NEW VIDEO FOR PINK MOUNTAINTOPS’ “EXECUTION” WEST COAST TOUR TO START NEXT MONTH ‘OUTSIDE LOVE’ OUT NOW ON JAGJAGUWAR

Pink Mountaintops, AKA Stephen McBean, has premiered a brand new video for “Execution” off this year’s Outside Love. Watch the video here

McBean, with band, will be embarking on a short tour this fall. The tour will start in Seattle and include stops along the West Coast, including a recently announced date in Portland during Musicfest NW. 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).

Praise for Outside Love

“This is A-grade rock’n’roll – profound, damaged, brimming with wondrous dreams.” – MOJO

“Pink Mountaintops’ Stephen McBean has marshaled an army of overdrive guitars, crystalline shakers, and a snare drum that sounds like it’s being struck over the shaft that leads to Hell.” – NME

“…an adventurous journey to surprising heights…” – Pitchfork

“A bit more raucous and a hell of a lot more cohesive than 2006’s Axis of Evol, Outside Love finds frontman Stephen McBean (who also leads Black Mountain) continuing to rewrite the 1960s, with much improved results.” – The Onion

“This is an adult record by the kids who really felt Sabbath growing up and realized that music could be soft and still be good.” – The Fader
