Pillars and Tongues on tour with Dark Dark Dark and A Hawk and a Hacksaw

THIS TOUR COMES ON THE HEELS OF THE RELEASE OF THE PASS AND CROSSINGS AVAILABLE AT THESE CONCERTS AND OUT NOW ON LP / CD / DOWNLOAD / CASSETTE VIA EMPTY CELLAR RECORDS HERE

“Slowburning spectral violins, reedy harmoniums and endlessly decaying distant percussion collude to create a John Calean atmosphere as austere and featureless as that found within the more spectral moments of Nico’s icy THE MARBLE INDEX. Phew. Better still, these opaque sheets of slow-moving sound facilitate the pure voice of singer Mark Trecka, which soars high above, yawning out such song titles as ‘A Dance in the Billowing Absence’ and ‘The Making Graceful’, like some newly dead ghost hovering above his own funeral.”
— Julian Cope, Address Drudion, Sept. 2011CE

Mark Trecka & Beth Remis of Pillars and Tongues on Tour with Elephant Micah!


On the heels of a European tour with Pillars and Tongues, Mark Trecka took to the road as the drummer for Dark Dark Dark‘s SxSW tour, and on the heels of that tour… Mark and Beth Remis of Pillars and Tongues are departing on an East Coast tour with one of our favorites, Elephant Micah! Indian Summer, of Endless Nest, hosted Elephant Micah in San Francisco last month at a truly bomb show, and this tour promises to be just as bomb… if not bomberer?

Mark and Beth will be performing Mark’s solo material and a few stripped down versions of Pillar’s tunes. It will rule even though they are totally neglecting us on the west coast.
