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.

FUR BABY APPROVED!!
Pattern Name: 8PCS No Stuffing Dog Toys, Pattern Name: 8PCS No Stuffing Dog Toys
I have 2 spoiled little diva fur babies that are very picky when it comes to their toys. I have an 8lb, 10 year old Schweenie (Shih
Izu/Dachshund mix) and a 1.5 lb, 11 week old Yorkie and they both LOVE LOVE LOVE no stuffing/crinkle toys. Unfortunately, we don't have many because they're hard to find and usually overpriced. This set here is worth EVERY PENNY!!! I was genuinely so shocked when these arrived. This whole set is by far the best I’ve seen or bought. Each of the toys in this set have been created with a very high quality textured fabric. Each is a different design, color and texture. As an experienced seamstress, I can confirm that each of these toys have been carefully stitched to withstand lots of play time, chewing and games of tug of war that involves sharp little teeth. This set of toys range in size from about 5” to 10”. I highly recommend this set.

Perfect for my 2 pups!!
Pattern Name: No Stuffing Dog Toys
I have 2 black Labs, one is 2 years old and the other 4 months. They LOVE to play tug o war and wrestle with toys, but my puppy with her smaller mouth and baby teeth has a hard time holding the stronger silicone chew toys (we love the brand west paw) my older dog likes. Ropes shred and are annoying. They love plush/soft toys, but once the stuffing comes out they start eating it so it’s game over. I still would get them cheap dollar store stuffies just for 10 mins of supervised fun, then they’d go in the trash. THESE however bc they have no stuffing or filling whatsoever, my dogs can just tug and tug until the fabric literally falls apart which is perfect!! With each toy we’ve gotten well over an hour of playtime, which is amazing. And they tug HARD... so while they may rip an arm off the octopus or a claw off the crab, the body stayed intact so they could keep playing. I was very impressed with the durability of the fabric. These satisfied our need for a fun, cheap toy that we were okay with getting destroyed eventually.
Will these last forever? For a big dog/tough chewer no, but they’re cheap and provide some serious fun. Yes they’re flat - they have no filling. But they are soft and adorable!! And approved by my two girls! I highly recommend and will buy again!!

Not for large dogs or chewers
Pattern Name: 8PCS No Stuffing Dog Toys
These are not for large dogs. They are cheaply made. They get dogs attention because of squeaker and crinkle but are easily torn apart (cheap fabric and felt). They might last with small dogs or puppies. Definitely not for actual chewers. Didn’t even last 15 minutes.
