His arrangement choices are flawless. While guitar stays front and centre, piano, strings, group vocals and slide guitar make fleeting, effective appearances.
-
A bit more raucous and a hell of a lot more cohesive than 2006’s "Axis of Evol," Outside Love finds frontman Stephen McBean (who also leads Black Mountain) continuing to rewrite the 1960s, with much improved results.
-
Outside Love is brilliant, disturbing and powerful.
-
Where previous Pink Mountaintops releases sounded a bit tossed off and crudely drawn, Outside Love is an intricately illustrated affair, built out of druggy walls of guitar feedback, reverb-drenched male/female vocals, and leaden drum splashes.
-
Outside Love, two years later, is another solid effort with a handful of quite good songs--and only a few embarrassing ones.
