"What a stunning debut! Pillars of Silence are a San Francisco band featuring members of Conspiracy of Beards and Brilliant Colors with an ensemble of talented friends who add nice touches throughout including Sean Smith, Jeffrey Luck Lucas and engineer Jesse Parsons, who worked the boards on other great San Francisco debuts by folks like Tussle, Pale Hoarse and Vetiver. But truth be told none of that matters so much, as it's the songs and music that Pillars of Silence have crafted on this debut that stand out so dramatically. These songs melt with such a satisfying and lasting warmth. Lush reverb, textured but never too busy instrumentation and such gorgeous vocals that come together to create songs that have that rare ability to feel both familiar and so totally new and refreshing. There are lots of comparisons to throw around, we hear the smoke and haziness of Mazzy Star and Opal, the crisp and truthful delivery of Smog and the lush and melancholic delivery of Moon Pix-era Cat Power. There are so many songs from this record that we already know will become staples of mixes we make for friends, crushes and true loves. Pillars Of Silence have earned themselves a place near Citay and Vetiver as another of San Francisco's finest songsmiths. Highly recommended!"
after hearing your songs for weeks over KUSF I finally made it to Aquarius last week to get the full album. Great dreamy work, thanks for the good music =) Any plans for a live show anytime soon? Hope so!
ps what happened to the rest of your songs. They re so pretty!!!!!!!!! and when is the ep out. And meghan, you made a grown man cry. your voice cripples me
so so so so sorry im missed your show lastnight i had no idea you were playing. I would have loved to see you play. I love your music. anyway hope all is well and i look forward to see you play again.
i was in the same bar as jack nicholson in the movie the shining and believe me there were more than a few kids conceived after a night of drinking there so anyway like some of those kids grew up in the dark dark dark and that affects young folks you know and they got to playing music after a few years and wouldn't you know it that music sounds an awful lot like what you guys do or is it the other way around?
