Their music has been featured in Spiderman 3, they’ve opened for Coldplay, their last album was a contender for Canada’s coveted Polaris Music Prize—and you’ve probably never heard of them.

Straight from the heart of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Black Mountain has spent the last six years perfecting their unique, ‘70s stadium-rock revival sound. Wilderness Heart, the group’s third full-length album, is a heavy-hitting powerhouse of solid guitar licks, and thick harmonies.

A vintage feel is noticeable in their album’s opening tracks, “The Hair Song” and “Old Fangs.” In many ways, Wilderness Heart sounds like the lost tapes of a band that was scheduled to play Woodstock, but somehow missed the show.

Black Mountain sounds nothing like the usual suspects of indie rock, hip-hop, or pop rock for which Canada is currently famous. However, rather than going out to left field to create a new sound or style, the band looks back to arguably the greatest age of rock music and builds on it. With a sound reminiscent of Jimmy Hendrix and Crosby, Stills, and Nash, this album  brings back the vintage sound of an earlier generation.
