Since their 2004 self-titled debut, Pink Mountaintops have supplied an outlet for the more arcane fascinations of Black Mountain frontman Stephen McBean. On 'Peacock Pools' - Pink Mountaintops’ first new music in eight years - the British Columbia-born singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist shares twelve songs sparked from his magpie-like curiosity for a wild expanse of cultural artefacts, including the sci-fi body horror of David Cronenberg, Disney Read-Along records from the 1970s, early Pink Floyd, mid-career Gary Numan, John Carpenter movies, Ornette Coleman live videos and a 1991 essay on the cult of bodybuilding by postmodern feminist Camille Paglia.
