In the Future is the second album by Black Mountain, which was released January 21, 2008. It follows their eponymous debut album which was released in 2005. A "limited edition" of the album was released on the same day with 3 bonus tracks on a second disc. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #72.
The album art was designed by keyboardist Jeremy Schmidt, who was influenced by Storm Thorgerson's work.
The album was a nominee for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize.
Franz Nicolay, of The Hold Steady, listed the album as one of his favourite releases in 2008.
All songs written by Stephen McBean, except where noted.
