Preview: The Black Heart Procession at the Mohawk [Tonight]

It’s been a few years since we’ve heard from them, but San Diego’s Black Heart Procession is back with a new album Six —their first numerically titled album since their 2000 effort Three—and a tour that brings them through town with a show at the Mohawk tonight. It’s an interesting time for the band, as singer/guitarist Pall Jenkins and keyboardist Tobias Nathaniel recently reformed their indie rock combo Three Mile Pilot, who recently finished recording their first new album in over a decade and are operating concurrent to BHP for the first time.

Despite working double duty, the duo’s attention is set squarely on The Black Heart Procession for now, and their show tonight will focus on songs from Six as well as shopworn selections from the last ten years of the BHP catalog. The late October weather should augment the band’s penchant for occult imagery and melodramatic tales of misery, Satan, and love gone wrong quite nicely, especially from the Mohawk’s outdoor stage. Tour partners The Mumlers and locals The Boxing Lesson open the show.
