Pearly Gate Music Pearly Gate Music LP

Description

Now on vinyl! Pearly Gate Music is an incredibly gifted gentleman by the name of Zach Tillman (although he records and usually plays live with a stylistic variety of full-band options), who makes beautiful, challenging, simple-yet-complicated songs structured around his extraordinary singing, vivid lyrics, and unusual melodic sense. Sometimes conjuring the feeling of a punk rock religious revival in an old-time prairie tent,sometimes stripped down to spare acoustic-guitar-and-lovely-croon, Tillman’s music sounds as if it were written and performed by a bedraggled dust bowl poet influenced by whatever popular songs from the poor folk circuit were being sung after dinner in the parlors of his youth and who somehow managed to supernaturally absorb the sound of Lubbock circa 1955, Laurel Canyon circa 1968 and Berlin circa 1980. Blog world excitement is already palpable, following incendiary shows at SXSW, nationwide touring with J. Tillman, and regional shows with Xiu Xiu and Tune Yards.
