The Profile

Pink Mountaintops is a Canadian indie/psychedelic rock project led by Stephen McBean (also of Black Mountain), formed in Vancouver and released by Jagjaguwar. Key albums include The Pink Mountaintops (2004), Axis of Evol (2006), Outside Love (2009), Get Back (2014), and Peacock Pools (2022).

Led by Stephen McBean (also of Black Mountain and Jerk With A Bomb). Based in Vancouver, Canada. Often operates as an open collective with collaborators tied to the Jagjaguwar label.

Three DeBaser reviews chart Pink Mountaintops from deconstructed psychedelia to meticulous, nostalgic pop. Stephen McBean’s Vancouver collective contrasts Black Mountain’s hard-rock heft with dreamlike, Spector-tinged textures and Velvet/Joy Division nods. Consistently praised, each album earns strong marks for detail and atmosphere.
