MP3 REVIEW
Black Mountain: "Druganaut" (jagjaguwar)
'Druganaut' opens with a druggy white-boy Curtis Mayfield vibe and then devolves into an early slacker Beck feel until it glides into that stoned-soul Mayfield expression once more. Stephen McBean’s stoner drawl fits the music to a ‘T’.

The Black Mountain album is dynamite - there's a split with Destroyer on Spirit of Orr that you should check out, too.
