About this item

"Outside Love" is ten songs of love and hate that read like a Danielle Steele romance novel but that would probably make for bad television. "Outside Love" is the third album by Pink Mountaintops, AKA Stephen McBean, who has slowly emerged as a distinctive voice and a very special contributor to the North American songbook. A veteran of the Vancouver/Victoria punk rock scene, McBean is best known for his contributions to acclaimed rock band Black Mountain, as principal songwriter, guitarist and co-vocalist. The ten songs on "Outside Love" are about or influenced by weddings in Montreal, winter, Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut", Christmas albums, that one Exile song and that one Echo and the Bunnymen song, the Bermuda Triangle, being depressed in the sunshine, people who haven't made out yet but will in the future, The Everly Brothers, clowns in the ceilings, and bedrooms where skinheads used to live. The album features contributions from members of A Silver Mt. Zion, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Destroyer, Jesse Sykes, Sunn 0))), Whiskeytown, Jackie O Motherf**ker, The Organ, Black Mountain, Lightning Dust, Superconductor and many more. Mixed by John Congleton (Modest Mouse, Explosions In The Sky and many others).
