Pinkish Black – “Ashtray Eyes”

Pinkish Black - Razed To The Ground

We’ve already heard two songs from Razed To The Ground, Pinkish Black’s stunning Century Media Records debut (which follows a 2012 LP released on Handmade Birds): first, the bleep-bloopy space-metal title track; and then, the grim industrial of “Kites And Vultures.” Now they’re dropping another one on us, before the album drops for real. “Ashtray Eyes” presents another look entirely — it’s spacious and somber and quite beautiful; like the title track, it’s a perfectly appropriate companion to hallucination-inducing bong sessions, but it’s also really emotionally raw and immediate in ways that previous Pinkish Black material only hinted at. Following the release of the LP, the band is going on a monthlong tour with Kylesa, whose Ultraviolet was our Album Of The Week back in late May. That’s a really solid bill, and you should check it out if they’re in your town. Tour dates and music below.
