Steve McBean‘s Pink Mountaintops project will return April 29th with their first record since 2009’s Outside Love. According to McBean, Get Back (Jagjaguwar) is inspired by his new home base in LA, and it features area musicians like J Mascis, Gregg Foreman (Cat Power, Delta 72), Daniel Allaire (Brian Jonestown Massacre), Steve Kille (Dead Meadow), and Rob Barbato (Darker My Love, The Fall, Cass McCombs), as well as being produced by Joe Cardomone of The Icarus Line, and mixed by Seattle’s Randal Dunn at Avast! Studios. Today, we take a look at the band’s new video for the track “Ambulance City“, off the upcoming record. Directed by Olivia Jaffe, an Artist Statement for the video explains:
“McBean overheard Jaffe drunkenly bragging in a backyard about her state of the art 80’s VHS camera. Ambulance City will mark the first time they’ve worked together since 1431 while serving drinks at Joan of Arc’s execution.”
Featuring a simple, though changing band set-up, as well as multiple costume changes, Pink Mountaintops would like to thank you in advance for watching their “groundbreaking work of art and depth”!
