Taking a break from his hard rock band, Black Mountain, Steve McBean shows his range on Get Back, the latest album from the Canadian’s side project Pink Mountaintops. The new album (out Tuesday) jumps from the driving sound of Ambulance City to the anthemic The Second Summer of Love to the more measured rocker Through All the Worry and the new wave styling of Wheels. And that’s just the first four songs. There’s also the outrageously filthy North Hollywood Microwaves, featuring Annie Hardy of the LA band Giant Drag. Another plus: the legendary J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.) also plays on the album.
