BLACK MOUNTAIN Release New Video Of “Wucan”, Announce North American Tour Dates

From BLACK MOUNTAIN’s second full-length album “In The Future” (which was just recently short-listed for Canada’s prestigious Polaris Prize), the song “Wucan” is now in video form, featuring footage of all five members of the modern heavy psych outfit performing in the desert. Largely filmed by the band itself, and then put together with the assistance of Shira Blustein and Jon West, this video conjures up both a haunted and an expansive vibe. Check it out:
