Trío anglo canadiense, The High Wire , dicen inspirarse en el mejor pop de las últimas cinco décadas, desde la Motown a Gorillaz, pasando por New Order o Soul IISoul, aunque en su nuevo single tiran más por el indie-folk con cierto corte épico. "LNOE" , ha sido grabado en los estudios de Coldplay, con importantes colaboraciones a cargo de reputados músicos y supone el primer single de lo que será su tercer largo, todavía sin fecha de publicación.
The High Wire is a trans-Atlantic musical project involving Canadian and British members. They drop a promising single, "LNOE", on July 29th with an album to follow later this fall. Listen to it here:
This is the first time The High Wire have hit my ears... the song is still making it's virgin passage and I have to write about it. Anthemic is a term I turn to when I imagine a song live, the crowd moving in unison, singing along. "LNOE" has an extremely strong hook, arrangement, and most importantly, presence. Put simply, this is a radio hit from my youth, back when no one had a computer and
The High Wire is a London-based group that consists of Tim Crompton, Ross Forrest, and Alexia Hagen. They cite '60s Motown, T Rex, New Order, and Gorillaz as a few of their influences, but on "LNOE," traces of these influences blend into something much different. They're readying their third album, and "LNOE" is is our first [...]

Recently the Deli called Rhode Island's Kid Chocolate a surf rock group that "shouldn't be pegged as a retro act." If that statement disappointed the beach partier in you, then look no further than Boston's Trabants . Their album Highwire Surfing is a coast through classic-sounding surf riffs featuring requisite saxophone and flute appearances and retro organ chord progressions -- 100% instrumental. In true surf rock form, Trabants borrow melodic ideas from a variety of cultures, including Western cowboy music, Elvis-y tonk, country rock, Russian folk music, and Henry Mancini-like orchestral hooks (think [...]
Day two of the Devil's picture perfect retrospective of the Glastonbury bands, acts and artists that caught my attention. The High Wire 25th June 2011 BBC Introducing Stage First band of the day were The High Wire (first featured on the Devil's blog back in February Video Killed The Radio Star ) who somehow made being knee deep in mud a pleasurable experience.

London’s the High Wire perform a careful balancing act integrating a 90’s sound into something for the new century. A rich and textured sound emerges with the result that their 2010 debut ‘The Sleep Tape’ arched plenty of influential eyebrows. ‘Odds and Evens’ is really impressive, the trio sounding more stateside that thameside but that should be only seen as a compliment given the way in which the former has trumped the latter in recent years. The sound of socks being pulled up after a particularly long shoegazing session. KD The High Wire [...]
The High Wire wrap up latest album 'The Sleep Tape' with the release of this yearning, life affirming dreamscape. The band claim this to be their favourite song on the album and it's hard to disagree (although they might like to listen to 'It's No Secret' again, just to be sure). 'Pump Your Little Heart' evokes the feeling of twilight optimism, the time where the reality of everyday life gets brushed aside temporarily and all appears warm and cosy. 'The Sleep Tape' may have conjured up a lush, [...]

The Hire Wire had me with their super sweet single 'Leave Me In Love' back in 2009. It's 2011 now and they've popped back up onto my radar with their latest single 'Odds and Evens', taken off of their debut album The Sleep Tape , released back in March, which I somehow missed. I find their timing odd, but I guess I got a little bit used to a Kanye kind of pace in the last half of 2010. 'Odds and Evens' is a lovely little ditty and perhaps one I like [...]
February 2011 sees the release of 'Pump Your Little Heart', the third single to be lifted from The High Wire’s debut album 'The Sleep Tape' (2010). Taken from it's place as the album's triumphant parting breath and closing song of every High Wire live show, 'Pump Your Little Heart' stands on its own as a bitterly euphoric eulogy to a lost relationship and a fitting final testament to another year gone by. It is the band's most collaborative writing effort to date and their own firm favourite from 'The Sleep Tape'. Now expanded to a five piece both on stage [...]
If you could see the amount of paper screwed up on my desk you would realise the pain that has gone into choosing my personal top 20 albums of the year. Some of them have featured on the site but for some reason I seem to have overlooked reviewing others. I have found 2010 to be a year of musical discovery as my love of Americana has grown. I hope that you enjoy and maybe discover some artists you might not of heard of. After all, that's the point of me writing the damn thing! #20 The Boy [...]
Photography by ME ! Well oh well oh well... here we are, once again. at the "end" of another exciting and fun and musically awesome year! What? You don't think this was a "good year for music"? You know what we always say about that right? If you ain't finding music your digging, you ain't digging deep enough. With the sheer (shear?) wealth of albums out there, from the label releases to the self-released albums on the bandcamps and blogs [...]
Picture by young@art ... Hey Cranes! It's Neil, ya know, long-lost AdventurerNeil, checkin' in with ya to say 'howdy!', and share some muzak (mmm...sweet, sweet muzak). As you may know, I enjoy my music like the cookie monster enjoys his dough... You guys are nazis, man! So yeah, sorry for being all sorts of wicked-absent and never posting... sad story: right as the last mixtapes week was kickin' off, my computer went kaput. Since then I've been busy, sure, but [...]
Frank Yang As a genre/style/pigeonhole, power-pop is not one that traditionally gets a lot of respect. Though its primary qualities of melody and harmony are essential facets of pretty much every style of music that can be hyphenated with "pop", in its undiluted, guitar-driven form it can be far too easy to do middlingly and incredibly difficult to do well. And so even when you're a band that does it masterfully, as Scotland's Teenage Fanclub have for over twenty years, you still might not have more to show for it than confirmed cult status, [...]
After hinting at what they were capable of with their 2008 release 'Ahead Of The Rain' London three-piece The High Wire reappeared earlier this year with the 'The Sleep Tape' LP. While their luscious pop landscapes bring the likes of My Bloody Valentine, MGMT and Asobi Seksu to mind, there is an underlying dream-like quality [...]
