Pinkish Black: : completes work on upcoming full-length album

Century Media Records — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 01:36:43 GMT

Fort Worth-based duo, PINKISH BLACK, has finished recording their upcoming album and Century Media debut, set tentatively for a Spring release. Self-produced by PINKISH BLACK's own Jon Teague and Daron Beck, this currently untitled full-length was recorded at The Echo Lab with Matt Barnhart handling engineer duties. Mastering will be done by James Plotkin. PINKISH BLACK is the continuation of THE GREAT TYRANT, a three-piece that released one LP following the passing of their bass player, Tommy Atkins. When Atkins died, Teague and Beck decided to change the band's name and remain a two-piece, yet still retain TGT's ground-breaking sound. With no stringed instruments, the duo now relies on aura and raw emotions to obtain their unique heaviness. Their resulting effort, PINKISH BLACK's self-titled debut (Handmade Birds Records), features seven tracks of dark, haunting deathrock-and was named one of the best albums of 2012 by Brooklyn Vegan.com, Stereogum.com, Pitchfork.com, and countless others.

Pinkish Black: : Century Media Records signs Pinkish Black

Fort Worth based duo, Pinkish Black announce their signing to Century Media Records. Pinkish Black is the duo Jon Teague on drums and vocalist/synthesizer, Daron Beck. They are the continuation of The Great Tyrant, a three piece that released one LP posthumously following the passing of their bass player, Tommy Atkins. The Great Tyrant was on its way to redefining what heavy music was. When Atkins died, the only changes were the name and how to achieve this as a two piece, the latter being no small feat. Pinkish Black's last, self-titled album, released on Handmade Birds, featured seven tracks of dark, intense and at times, haunting songs. As one of the heaviest bands of late to feature no stringed instruments, Pinkish Black uses aura and emotions to attain what other bands (and a lot of Orange Amps and downtuned guitars) fail to do. The band is currently touring and working on a new record, expected to be recorded by the end of the year. "We're excited at the possibilities that working with Century Media presents to us, and that lots of touring and recording will follow." - Jon Teague and Daron Beck Pinkish Black US tour dates: Fort Worth, TX- 11/24- Lola's w/ Atriarch New York, NY- 11/28- Home Sweet Home Baltimore, MD- 11/29- TBA Washington, DC- 11/30- Comet Ping Pong Brooklyn, NY- 12/1- Saint Vitus w/ NAAM Richmond, VA- 12/4- Nile Nashville, TN- 12/6- TBA w/ Pallbearer Little Rock, AK-12/7-Downtown Music w/ Pallbearer Fort Worth, TX- 12/8- Lola's w/ Pallbearer Pinkish Black Online: www.facebook.com/pinkishblackband
