Fort Worth-based duo
PINKISH BLACK has finished recording its new album for a tentative spring release via
Century Media Records. Produced by
PINKISH BLACK's own
Jon Teague and
Daron Beck, the as-yet-untitled untitled CD was recorded at
The Echo Lab, with
Matt Barnhart handling engineer duties. Mastering will be handled by
James Plotkin.
To hear some new tracks from the record, fans can catch
PINKISH BLACK live on March 7 in Denton, Texas at NX35 where the duo will be direct support for
EYEHATEGOD. Additional tour dates will also be announced soon.
PINKISH BLACK is the continuation of
THE GREAT TYRANT, a three-piece that released one LP following the passing of their bass player,
Tommy Atkins. When
Atkins died,
Teague and
Beck decided to change the band's name and remain a two-piece, yet still retain
THE GREAT TYRANT's groundbreaking sound. With no stringed instruments, the duo now relies on aura and raw emotions to obtain their unique heaviness. Their resulting effort,
PINKISH BLACK's self-titled debut (
Handmade Birds Records), features seven tracks of dark, haunting deathrock — and was named one of the best albums of 2012 by
Brooklyn Vegan.com,
Stereogum.com,
Pitchfork.com and countless others.
PINKISH BLACK is:
Jon Teague - Drums, Synth, Loops
Daron Beck - Vocals, Keyboard, Synth
