The Black Heart Procession
Formed in late 1997 in San Diego, the Black Heart Procession have been described as beautifully bleak and brooding indie rock with a dark side. Lyrically touching on the melancholy side of human nature, the five-piece band is appropriately named given its themes of isolation, depression, and heartache. The core members of Pall Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel (Three Mile Pilot) also collaborate on-stage and in the studio with various musicians whose instruments include guitar, piano, percussion, and even saw. This uniqueness led to a 1998 record deal with {@Cargo Recor...[more]

More than just a return to numerical album titles, Six is The Black Heart Procession's first album to be written and recorded simultaneously with a new Three Mile Pilot album. As both bands now coexist for the first time ever, co-conspirators Pall Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel have steered The Black Heart Procession into a darker, more adventurous direction. Produced and recorded by the band over the past couple years, Six is without a doubt the group's most emotionally resonant album since [ read more ]

A 15-song soundtrack to a noirish murder mystery that never was and never will be written. A true, defining masterwork complete with '50s-style female backing vocals, '70s synthesizers, and some full-on electric guitar work. This album is in many ways more accessible than previous BHP efforts, but it is still filled with despair, loss and love that could only have come from the mind of Pall Jenkins or some abandoned ghost town in some other universe. Everything you hoped it would be, but nothing like wha [ read more ]

The Spell is the most fitting name yet for a Black Heart Procession record. True, One and Two and Three have economy on their side, and Amore del Tropico nodded toward the intrigue within. But The Spell nails it. Spells are cast over a person, a love affair, a nation, a world; they enchant and entrap, disorient and delude. They are the heart of this record, both the webs they spin and the snap that occurs when they're broken. And there is no better word to describe [ read more ]

The melded sounds of piano, saw, pump organs, guitar, trumpet, vocals, & the odd percussive instrument ring out with sorrow & heartache. Old-timey and spooky!
