Boy From Black Mountain is the third studio album by Beat Circus. It marks the second release in songwriter Brian Carpenter's Weird American Gothic trilogy. Several songs on the album were inspired by Carpenter's response to his son's autism, Southern Gospel music, and Southern Gothic storytelling.[4] Larkin Grimm provides guest vocals throughout the album. Album artwork was created by Portland artist Carson Ellis.[5] The album won the 9th Annual Independent Music Award for Best Alt/Country album.[6]
