Pillars & Tongues recorded a Daytrotter session during their fall tour in support of Lay of Pilgrim Park. The result is a lush, richly textured, recording of a beautiful performance. It is hard to believe that three people are able to produce so much sound with so many powerful harmonies. We highly recommended listening to “My Word”. This session, featuring new material, is a perfect compliment to their Dublab Sprout Session from the same tour. (((Listen now)))
“I heard these songs once before a long time ago. It could have been a dream but the air was crisp and the fog swirled in wisps so chill my skin vibrated…” – Frosty, Dublab
Pillars and Tongues stopped in at Dublab with friends The Updied Sound during their epic fall tour in support of Lay of Pilgrim Park (Empty Cellar). The result is a beautiful 30 minute Sprout Session that is a truly rewarding listen start to finish. ((( listen now on dublab )))
…and while you’re at it, tune in to the ((( dubstream ))) for and endless stream of amazing tunes. Really, dublab is a sonic goldmine. Check out the Rodriguez session, por ejemplo.
Pillars and Tongues is on tour… again! This will be their fourth tour since the release of Lay of Pilgrim Park last year (fifth if you count Mark’s recent solo jaunt in France). They are joining Joan of Arc – with whom they frequently collaborate – as they traverse much of the eastern united states, and will be performing as four piece for several of the dates, accompanied by Ben from This is Cinema. It will be lush!

Thank you to Alarm Magazine for featuring PIllars and Tongues’ Lay of Pilgrim Park in their Unheralded Albums of the Year feature!
“With just three members, Pillars and Tongues manages to craft powerful folk abstractions and interwoven, trance-inducing vocal dynamics. Both composed and improvisational, these shifting forms evoke spiritual vibes in their soulful essence, heavenly harmonies, and repeated patterns.”
– Scott Morrow, Alarm Magazine
