Additional information

This record was not noted by the indie rock scene until 2005, when Stephen McBean's other band, Black Mountain, released their debut record (also on Jagjaguwar). Stephen McBean supposedly wrote the material when Jerk With a Bomb (who turned into the previously mentioned band) were on tour, and hastily recorded it in three weeks once back in Vancouver. The tracks have a strong sexual imagery, bearing names like Sweet '69 and I (Fuck) Mountains. McBean claimed the Pink Mountaintops would drop the sexual sound for their next LP. The track 'Can You Do That Dance' was used in the UK TV advertisement for Beck's Vier lager (May 2007).
