Blind Pilot's 'And Then Like Lions' A "Darker Shade Of Folk" (WSJ), Out Now On ATO Records

Top 10 Debut On Billboard Rock Charts, #1 Most Added Album At AAA Radio, Performance On KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic
SECOND SHOWS ADDED AT LA's TERAGRAM BALLROOM + NY's MUSIC HALL OF WILLIAMSBURG

 

Blind Pilot's first album since 2011 is out now on ATO Records. 'And Then Like Lions' has been met with raves, sold out shows, an NPR First Listen album stream and unprecedented charting numbers for the group. The new record was the #1 most added album at AAA radio upon its release, and reached Billboard's Top 10 for Rock and Alternative albums.

On the heels of 'And Then Like Lions,' the six-piece stopped by KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic yesterday to perform a few tracks off their new record: http://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/morning-becomes-eclectic/blind-pilot-2016-08-24

Blind Pilot will tour extensively this fall, including two shows in LA at the Teragram Ballroom on October 28 and two shows at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg on September 20 and 21. Shows at Thalia Hall in Chicago and Seattle's Neptune Theatre have already sold out. 

Raves for 'And Then Like Lions':

"Unfurls slowly and gracefully...wistful late-summer music -- songs of reflection and connection, carried out in a subtle swirl of strings, horns, pianos and voices." - NPR Music

"A darker shade of folk...a lyrical sweep reminiscent of esteemed heartbreak-and-recovery albums like Lou Reed's 'Magic and Loss' and Arcade Fire's 'Funeral,' which are excellent company for the band and its new recording." - Wall Street Journal

"Gorgeously rendered...lush and uplifting folk." - Paste

"The album's most impressive feat, even topping memorable melodies: a feeling of stability in the territory of loss." - All Music 4 out of 5 stars

"Blind Pilot is the kind of band that's really easy to fall for... 'And Then Like Lions' practically begs for repeated listens." - No Depression
