The High Wire Share 1st to Dream

Obviously been in the mellow moods this week, judging by the majority of my coverage, so why not further go down that road with this new track from The High Wire. This is this stretched out drifting number, falling just on the edges of guitar pop. The band incorporates these little ornate orchestral touches that really pull on the heartstrings; I, of course, was drawn to the sullen nature of the vocals, hanging out ever so casually as the musical element really provided the song with movement. If you dig it, check out the London outfit’s new album, the Salt Edge.

Change of Pace from The High Wire

highwireWent a little power-pop heavy this morning, so why not offer up a little turn towards a pop-centric world with the latest single from The High Wire.  I’ve written about the group before, and I’m really excited to get a full listen to their latest LP, Found in Honey. The song opens softly, with a focus on the angelic vocals before a synthesized beat kicks in to drive the song forward.   There’s explosions of exuberance here and there, with my particular favorite moment coming just after the 3 minute mark.  If you love what you hear, their album will be out on July 14th, so be sure to grab it.

New Tune from The High Wire

highwireIt’s been a minute since we’ve written about London’s The High Wire, but the group is back with a new single for you to download today.  On this track, you’ll find an expansive indie rock approach from the band, using as many instruments as possible to create this wall of ornate sound. Of course, the multiple part harmonies created definitely have a soft spot in my heart; they’re the most prominent part of the song itself.  The group also has a few other singles that are worthy of your attention, so feel free to browse through their site and get some tunes to round out your solid indie rock collection.
