Pink Mountaintops, the long-running and ever-changing project of Stephen McBean, has announced a new album. Peacock Pools is out May 6 via ATO. Check out the George Mays–directed video for the lead single “Lights of the City” below.
The follow-up to 2014’s Get Back was recorded at the start of the pandemic. “I’d moved into this cool little ’50s rancher house outside L.A. and was just mucking about in my bedroom studio, and pretty soon I started reaching out to some friends who were also shacked up and craving broadband sonic collaboration,” McBean said.
The new album features Redd Kross’ Steven McDonald, Melvins’ Dale Crover, Emily Rose Epstein (Ty Segall, Emily Rose & the Rounders) Joshua Wells (Destroyer, Black Mountain), Laena Myers-Ionita (Feels, Death Valley Girls), Ryan Jewell (Ryley Walker, Steve Gunn), and Jeremy Schmidt (Black Mountain, Sinoia Caves).
