Black Mountain

In The Future

Black Mountain

Just when you thought Black Mountain couldn't cram another jam into the deep grooves of the gargantuan new album In the Future, they go and do something like this...

Jagjaguwar will release a limited edition 2XCD version of In the Future that crams three tracks into the fold: "Bastards of Light" and "Thirteen Walls" from this fall's tour 12", and "Black Cat". I can't speak for "Black Cat", but sound-wise, the other two could've easily fit on In the Future. Or, uh, a disc conveniently affixed to In the Future. Either way!

The band also plan to bring the Future kicking and screaming into the present, as anyone who pre-orders any edition of In the Future will get an MP3 download of the record before it hits shelves on January 22. (Pssst, if you go to Black Mountain's MySpace page, you can check out the whole of In the Future streaming right this moment. No foolin'!)

Black Mountain will make their national television debut on the Conan O'Brien program February 21. Beyond that, they're touring with some fine, fine bands over the coming months. Full dates after the jump, with a few new Midwestern additions since our last report.
