Everyone’s favorite psych-and-folk-rock pioneers, Black Mountain, are back on the road for an early 2008 tour in support of their second full-length album, In The Future. The band has toured the world, playing everything from the smallest of rock clubs to the largest of outdoor amphitheaters, yet have succeeded in maintaining live performances with universal appeal. Even though they are championed by the more underground-minded record-collector type of music geek as well as by high-profile musicians such as Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips, Black Mountain's music will stick readily to the ribs of most any garden-variety music fan.

Black Mountain's self-titled debut full-length was an instant classic, and In The Future resonates with the same epic ring, beloved deep rock touchstones and genuine folk fragility. The new album possesses immense breadth, seamlessly showcasing short and classic folk-pop gems along with driving modern rock masterpieces, peaking with "Bright Lights," a seventeen-minute multi-dimensional opus that gives Pink Floyd's "Echoes" a run for its money.

Check back early next month to see a Ground Control review of the sure-to-be-amazing Troubadour show in LA…
