Dylan Shearer is getting on a plane! And going to New York! And playing some shows! Our man, Dylan Shearer is gonna be in the Big Apple this weekend playing the We Listen For You CMJ showcase at the Rockwood Music Hall. The show’s this Saturday and starts at 12 – a seriously perfect chance to catch an afternoon drink. And it’s FREE. RSVP HERE.

The very next day, Shearer will make the trip out to Long Island City to play at the Resobox gallery. You can escape the CMJ madness and check out that event HERE.

Thus ends Dylan Shearer’s 2012 New York adventure, but his journey continues next Tuesday right here in sunny (for now) San Francisco. He will be playing the final night of Tim Cohen’s residency at Amnesia. Dylan ought to be pretty wiped by then, so come through, bring him some coffee, then stay for the DOPE show.

Pillars and Tongues find peace in change – constantly in motion and thoughtfully redirecting their sonic trajectory. Even songs that have been recorded and released are not safe from their restless deconstructionist tendencies. In this spirit we are pleased to present the reworked “Palms To Tell.” Now entitled “(Laid) Palms To Tell,” this re-envisioning of The Pass and Crossings standout track showcases the mercurial nature of their songwriting. Though it is most definitely the same song, the new instrumentation brings to light new interpretations and provokes new emotions. Alongside the reworked track is a new music video (their second video from The Pass and Crossings – watch the first one here) directed by Alex Babbit. Babbit has created a seriously beautiful and nostalgic pairing for the new arrangement, which No Fear of Pop described as, “gorgeously colorful and aptly arcane.”

As a companion to the new video and a preview for their tour, Pillars and Tongues has also released a free three-song digital single also titled (Laid) Palms to Tell.  The new single includes the reworked track along with two others, all previously unreleased. The single is available for download at the their bandcamp.

Pillars and Tongues are embarking on a five-week tour that will take them across the states. More dates are being added as we write this, so check here for the most up-to-date tour listings.
