T
ime to rejoice space travellers, music lovers, drug takers and all freak creatures of the nighttime world. The
heat is on and the streets are wild. We’ve had enough of your modern music and fake painted smiles. We’re all
looking for a little more. Big amps, small amps, it’s all the same. Dee-lite said that groove is in the heart. But
we believe that rock’n’roll is boiled in the blood and born in the soul. What more do you want? What more do you
need? Distractions? Interstellar cellular progress? Better killing machines?
Originally released as a 12-inch single (and acting as the band's first release ever), the Druganaut single is now being
molded in the CD format, with two additional songs added to it.
Black Mountain are the front line soldiers for the Black Mountain Army, an arts collective from Vancouver, British
Columbia, featuring members of The Pink Mountaintops, Jerk With A Bomb, Sinoa Caves, and Blood Meridian.
Their debut self-titled full-length record may well be the Pied Piper that takes us all back into the primordial moun-
tain, where our hearts can be made steady and our minds can be set free. It brings to mind - as does this Druganaut
single - Animals-era Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Neil Young and a James Brown on a liberal does of cough syrup.
BLACK MOUNTAIN

Druganaut (extended remix) • Buffalo Swan • Bicycle Man • No Satisfaction (campfire version)
SELLING POINTS:
1. This is the CD release of last year’s introductory 12” remix
single from Black Mountain and includes two additional non-
12” tracks. One was originally featured on a limited split 7”
(Quiet Weather Singles Series on Spirit of Orr) with Destroyer.
2. Building on the immense word of mouth buzz that has
already been created. This CD release will coincide with a
Magnified band profile in the June issue of Magnet. A full listing
of Black Mountain press can be found by contacting Jagjaguwar,
or opening up nearly any indie rock magazine.
3. Part of a mystical duality. Black Mountain’s compatriots The
Pink Mountaintops released their debut record last summer,
also on Jagjaguwar, to much critical acclaim. The artwork of
Black Mountain is “connected” to the artwork of The Pink
Mountaintops, linking the two in the mind of consumer. Both
bands involve shared members and their respective records will
feed off of each other.
4. Have just completed West Coast tour with Oneida and Kinski
and are currently on a full U.S. tour including stints with
Mountain Goats and Frog Eyes. Will be touring Europe in June
and July, including stints with Kinski and Magnolia Electric
Company.
