The Black Heart Procession
Com Jimmy LaValle, Joe Plummer, Matt Resovich, Modest Mouse, Pall Jenkins, Tobias Nathaniel, Zeke Howard
Legendary slowcore duo The Black Heart Procession play an intimate, atmospheric indie rock set at Gold-Diggers
**The Black Heart Procession** took root in San Diego in 1997, when Pall Jenkins (vocals, guitars, synths, etc.) and Tobias Nathaniel (piano, guitar, organ, etc.) put their previous band, Three Mile Pilot, on an open-ended hiatus.
In addition to numerous singles, the band has released eight studio albums for labels like Headhunter, Touch And Go, Konkurrent, and Temporary Residence. Known for their haunting, melancholic sound, they blend elements of slowcore, experimental rock, and gothic Americana to craft atmospheric, emotionally rich music.
Their work often features somber piano melodies, sparse guitar lines, eerie effects, and Jenkins’ distinctive, mournful vocals — Jenkins's lyrics explore themes of heartbreak, loss, and existential longing, creating a cinematic, almost funereal tone that’s become their signature sound.
The duo has been joined over the years by a revolving cast of musicians including Joe Plummer, Zeke Howard, Jimmy LaValle and Matt Resovich. In July 2024 the band toured Italy and Greece followed by a US tour in November with Modest Mouse. They recently announced they will join Modest Mouse on the Ice Cream Floats cruise in February 2026 along with Kurt Vile, Tropical Fuck Storm, Portugal. The Man and others.
