Empty Cellar Records is proud to announce the release of the latest full-length from Chicago's Pillars and Tongues, the Pass and Crossings. After two full-lengths - and too many DIY releasestocount - Pillars and Tongues have returned from near-endless touring to deliver their most focused outing yet. Having spent years developing a uniquely textured sound, Pillars and Tongues have now given teeth their creation, and the doom is manifest. This is immediately apparent in the lyrical depths of the album opener, a mesmerizing track seemingly conjured by seduction from some very dark places. Lush violin lines swell and sing over pulsing drums, moving at a pace and with a weight that would not be out of place on an Earth record. Rolling desert drones permeate this album, interlaced with swampy melodies, adorned with moments of shimmering dream pop, and punctuated by heavy - almost tribal - percussion. The album plunges deep into spiritually imbued moments of minimalist trance, and emerges like some haunted vision of Peter Gabriel during cathartic groove-heavy climaxes on tracks "Thank You, Oaky" and "The Making Graceful". As with their previous album, Lay of Pilgrim Park (Empty Cellar), Pillars and Tongues continue to accumulate comparisons to the goth-drama and global grooves of early 4AD legends, Dead Can Dance. Mark Trecka's bold baritone pleads with absent forms and howls haunted poetry while Beth Remis' and Evan Hydzik's signature rhythmic singing weaves otherworldy harmonies throughout, vocals that Pitchfork referred to as "acrobatic". When Trecka, Remis, and Hydzik hit it just right, their voices and instruments blend to create something that is altogether far greater than the sum of their parts. This sort of bewitching alchemy is just the type of thing they have been honing for the past few years. A lush richness that few bands ever achieve without a reliance on electric instruments and layered effects. The Pass and the Crossings is a record full of dark moments and seductive pleas - a lustrous watermark in the ever-evolving history of Pillars and Tongues. Engineered by Mike Ursey and Theo Karon, and mastered by Paul Oldham. Performed with contributions by Ben Babbitt and Theo Karon from the band This is Cinema. Keeping with the times, the LP comes with a high quality digital download and a full color 16x23" poster.

Fantastic Product
Most lip balms, chapsticks, lipstick etc will make my skin peel off. I don't get moisture and I end up with chapped lips and open cuts. But since this is so natural it fixed my problem. What's nice is I don't get that gunk buildup on the side of the mouth with white stuff either. This lip balm is very smooth, very hydrating and it smells like dessert. It's gonna be my go-to forever and ever.

More cinnamon flavor than vanilla
I really wanted to like this lip balm but, as another person commented, the cinnamon flavor dominates. It does moisturize quite well if you can overlook how spicy the cinnamon tastes. Would have preferred just plain vanilla instead. Not sure I'll keep this.

hot cinnamon
Only had this one day and I do like it but would like to note the cinnamon is more like hot tamale cinnamon not cinnamon roll cinnamon. still does the job but my chapped lips give a good burn for maybe 30 sec :( going to check if they have another flavor option for next order

Best lip balm I’ve found yet
Every lip balm or chapstick I have ever used has always bothered my lips and made them peel. I’ve tried cheap chapsticks to organic chapsticks to vegan and nothing has ever worked. I figured I’d give this a try since I didn’t have much to lose and I am SO glad I did. This is the first lip balm that hasn’t made my lips peel. I LOVE THIS. And the cinnamon vanilla smells divine. This is definitely going to be my go to from now on.
