The Black Heart Procession | |
|
From the still-warm ashes of Three Mile Pilot, and Clikitat Ikatowi comes
this trio from San Diego, who quickly disassembles “proper” rock music’s
norms, foundations, and limitations re-making it as they see fit on the
eleven songs here.
Ever heard a rock and roll band using either a xylophone,
some sheet-metal, a saw or a water-phone? Neither have I. I don’t even
think I’ve ever heard the latter instrument before. They do use bass,
drums, and fairly minute amounts of actual guitars thanks, and there’s also
piano and organ as well, but it’s not executed in a self-conscious ‘Look at
us! We’re weird!’ way, like, say The Residents, or Primus. Neither band can
write an actual tune, and that’s the major difference here.

Though The
Black Heart Procession are a trio, live you can witness anywhere from two to
eight people playing their songs, among whom, “Release My Heart” stands
waaay out on this cd. A very impressive beginning.
