Our Favorite Photos of 2009: Pearly Gate Music

The album to be released by Pearly Gate Music on Barsuk Records next year is without a doubt my “Most Anticipated Release of 2010.” Self-professed shut-in Zach Tillman doesn’t write his songs with a voice quite like any other songwriter I’ve heard. With a mix of dry humor, confessional romanticism and old school folk songwriting, he strums away at his nylon string guitar and sings spiritually, the songs representing a process of personal catharsis it seems as much as a performance for others who happen to be in the room.
In Seattle, Pearly Gate Music is usually an entire band made of Tillman’s brother and some fellow Siberian conspirators. This picture is of Bill Patton, pedal steel guitarist of that band.
Pearly Gate Music opens for J Tillman at the Crocodile on Friday December 11th.
