Pink Mountaintops - Get Back (Vinyl) (Vinyl LP)

Pink Mountaintops - Get Back (Vinyl)

Pink Mountaintops might not be the best-known band ever to make rock 'n' roll, but Get Back is an exploration and celebration of what rock 'n' roll can be. Get Back comes out swinging with "Ambulance City," a song with a chugging, insistent, oddly timeless guitar riff center. "The Second Summer of Love" needs almost no explanation; it dives into 80s VHS saturation and never comes up for air. "Sell Your Soul" is a deep sigh and a motorcycle ride, a roll in the grass lamenting summertime blues with a little grit and a little harmony. 

The record's beginnings were reasonably straightforward, Stephen McBean had moved to Los Angeles, taken a long hiatus from Black Mountain and a longer one from Pink Mountaintops when he met producer Joe Cardamone, lead singer of Icarus Line. The two bonded quickly over Flying Nun bands, Television Personalities, Roxy Music, Johnny Thunders, and Born Against. Joe was excited to meet someone he actually liked. Stephen was excited to work with someone who said "Sing it like you would've sung it when you were 21." Simple enough, right?
