The High Water Marks Return with YFF

The High Water Marks are one of my absolutely favorite bands from the last few years; their last LP, Your Next Wolf, was probably one of the greatest pieces of power pop we’ve heard in years. Now, they’re back with a fresh single to honor the election cycle, taking aim at fascism and all those who’ve encouraged it’s rebirth into the mainstream consciousness. While it’s such an incredibly important topic, there’s still much charm to this track that it’s hard to ignore their graceful approach to the subject, making you melt with melody like nothing else you’ve heard this week. Maybe not Beyonce, but a great political piece you can crank up real loud.

High Water Marks Share YFF + Prep Compilation

Over the last several years I’ve raved about High Water Marks and their ability to craft some of the most consistently solid power pop tunes. But, the songwriters in the band aren’t proverbial spring chickens, as Hilarie Sidney was one of the OGs in Elephant 6. That makes sense when you listen to this brand new tune, with a look back at grungy songwriting centered around the most striking melody. They don’t lose their edge by any means, with distortion and thumping drum work setting the start, but once they slide into that coy little vocal melody, you’ll be caught in their net, praying they release an LP of songs this delicious. Plus, the song is part of the So Many Things at Once Compilation, which is aiming to raise funds for Justice Democrats; the compilation features Elf Power, Rose Melberg, Mikal Cronin…just to name a few. The compilation drops on April 5th via 6612 Tapes, and its live for pre-order since its Bandcamp Friyay!
