Limited edition red vinyl in celebration of the album's15th Anniversary. The Black Heart Procession took root in San Diego in 1997, when Pall Jenkins (vocals, guitars, synths, etc.) and Tobias Nathaniel (piano, guitar, organ, etc.) put their previous band, Three Mile Pilot, on an open-ended hiatus. They are the core members of Black Heart Procession, joined here by drummer Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse, the Magic Magicians), bassist Jimmy LaValle (The Album Leaf) and violinist Matt Resovich (The Album Leaf). 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 The Spell, both the webs they spin and the snap that occurs when they're broken. And there is no better word to describe the spooky intoxication of The Black Heart Procession's sound. Theirs is the sound of driving at night across the West. Like the wide-open landscape, this is music that knows how to be both desolate and lush. And it knows that while sadness pulls you down, discontent pushes you forward. So the Procession never stops. Here, a song's 6/8 beat will pull you into a moody seductive waltz and next, the violin and piano evoke the house band of a lonesome cabaret with the lights turned low. Then the strings stop their mournful crying and shift into a propulsive thrum, and now we've got the pedal to the metal and we're heading straight down the open road into a cinematic twilight. There's an echo and a vastness, a sound big enough to fill the night, larger than life. A soundtrack to that midnight drive alone, ghost towns of the heart flickering back to life. This is a band who knows that darkness takes many forms: despair and confusion, yes, but also shelter, escape, and beauty. Hope is held like smoke in the lungs, dizzying and burning. The Black Heart Procession is exactly what their name says they are: a cavalcade of foreboding tenderness. The Spell is cast.
