Review

Rolling Stone (p.64) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "In stoner-detention epics like 'Wucan' and 'Queens Will Play,' they bring metal guitars, multipart song structures, temples-of-Syrinx poetry and vintage synths that sound like they were beamed in from some lost Argent or ELP session."
Entertainment Weekly (p.69) - "The main attraction is 'Bright Lights,' a multipart suite with loping power chords and lyrics possibly about communion with el diablo himself." -- Grade: B+
The Wire (p.69) - "With Amber Webber's vocals rising to Amon Duul II peaks of intensity, this album eclipses their previous output and hits a consistent note of righteous force."
No Depression (p.77) - "The album strikes an uncalculated blance between muscular and expansive; that's what makes it interesting."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.47) - "'Stormy High' kicks things off in rip-snorting fashion, all fuzzed-out stoner riffs and a big throbbing '70s organ."
Q (Magazine) (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] casts its net across the era's full spectrum, stopping off at plangent blues, pastoral balladry, woozy psychedelia and stomping boogie."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "IN THE FUTURE is full of musical muscle....[They] have found freedom in mashing up previously forgotten and forbidden styles."
Blender (Magazine) (p.97) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "More diabolical and daring than the band's shaggy 2005 debut, FUTURE peaks with the primordial 'Bright Lights'..."
Harp (magazine) (p.97) - "[I]t's a tight, intense ride -- all sound and fury signifying awesome."
The Word (magazine) (pp.98-99) - "[T]here's plenty to enjoy here. 'Bright Lights'' epic, 17 minutes takes in everything from Black Sabbath power surges to Pink Floyd ambiance, and you can't help but enjoy it."

Title Note

After the surprise success of Black Mountain's self-titled debut and their equally surprising tour with Coldplay, the media focused attention solely on band founder and riff-o-matic guitar god Stephen McBean. With IN THE FUTURE, their seismic follow-up, the Vancouver quintet casts aside McBean's lone genius act with an emphatic statement: Black Mountain is a band.

Singer Amber Webber's haunting vibrato is as much a presence on IN THE FUTURE as McBean's anguished husk, and dominates on the beautiful closing track, "Night Walks"; bassist Matt Camirand and drummer Joshua Wells keep the tempos patient but insistently heavy; and Jeremy Schmidt's sinewy Moog and Hammond lines recall Hawkwind and Deep Purple in equal measure, and are thankfully placed high in the mix. The group dynamic bolsters McBean's ever-incendiary riffs and deepens the Sabbath-meets-VU promise of their debut. IN THE FUTURE features the stunning "Bright Lights," an album-side length statement of purpose. Space-trucking nation, unite!
