The Pink Mountaintops is the band of Canadian Stephen McBean, formerly of Jerk With A Bomb and now a model member of Black Mountain. The eponymous debut album, released in 2004—conceived at dawn, under the influence of speed and Red Bull, and while the band was cruising down a Colorado highway towards Denver with Pink Floyd's last decent record blasting from the radio—was written and recorded in a month with friends Amber Webber, Joshua Wells, and Christoph Hofmeister. The aforementioned stoned drone drug country rock band Black Mountain lent its members, lungs, and amplifiers to the festivities.
