Since their 2004 self-titled debut, Pink Mountaintops have supplied an outlet for the more arcane fascinations of <a href="spotify:artist:00sAr10UTV1JZtHqxsLVn4" data-name="Black Mountain">Black Mountain</a> frontman Stephen McBean. On Peacock Pools—Pink Mountaintops’ first new music in eight years—the British Columbia-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist shares 12 songs sparked from his magpie-like curiosity for a wild expanse of cultural artifacts: the sci-fi body horror of David Cronenberg, Disney Read-Along Records from the 1970s, early Pink Floyd and mid-career Gary Numan, John Carpenter movies, Ornette Coleman live videos, a 1991 essay on the cult of bodybuilding by postmodern feminist Camille Paglia. Featuring counterculture icons like Steven McDonald of <a href="spotify:artist:1USc9u5yL4tUaQKhGWNuvj" data-name="Redd Kross">Redd Kross</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4IRzt4Zde0xpbbc2BtsRGm" data-name="Dale Crover">Dale Crover</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:6aVjo0xHSiuW5hkasoYSR3" data-name="Melvins">Melvins</a> , Peacock Pools alchemizes those obsessions into a body of work with its own enchanting power, the sonic equivalent of falling down a thousand rabbit holes at once and landing somewhere gloriously strange.
