The Black Heart Procession: 1 (1998)


Allmusic describes The Black Heart Procession as a "Dark and brooding San Diego-based indie rock group with deeply theatrical undercurrents." From the opening notes of the first track, it's clear that this album will be a largely mellow, atmospheric, acoustic, melancholic, somewhat intense affair. In some respects, I am reminded of the more passive arrangements of Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra, but that may have more to do with the Paul's almost pleading vocals.

My sense is that this piece of vinyl is hard to find, but I could be wrong.
