Black Heart Procession Ready Fifth Album

It's been over three years since the Black Heart Procession forsook the nominal trend of their first three album titles (One, Two and Three) and surfaced with the mysterious Amore del Tropico. On May 11, they'll return to simplicity with The Spell, due out on Touch and Go.

Packed with tales of, well, spellbound characters (and of course more reasons to commemorate our black hearts), the album features the Album Leaf's Jimmy LaValle and Matt Resovich helping out on piano, bass, reverb tank (whatever the hell that is), organ, violin, Wurlitzer, synth, and lapsteel. And don't worry: the BHP haven't forgot their musical saw.

Saw this, Sufjan:

01 Tangled
02 The Spell
03 Not Just Words
04 The Letter
05 The Replacement
06 Return to Burn
07 GPS
08 The Waiter #5
09 Places
10 The Fix
11 To Bring You Back

Those who prefer their album previews in clubs rather than from p2p's can catch the Black Heart Procession on a brief tour in March. They'll be playing songs from The Spell on the trek, which will stretch allllll the way from San Diego to South by Southwest.

Dates:

03-12 San Diego, CA - Casbah
03-13 Phoenix, AZ - Rhythm Room
03-14 Albuquerque, NM - Launchpad
03-16 Austin, TX - Emo's (SXSW)
03-17 Austin, TX - Austin Music Hall (SXSW)
