Fresh Chops: The High Wire

• 14th May 2014

London trio The High Wire have announced details of their new album ‘Found In Honey’ – due for release on 14th July and you can stream lead single ‘LNOE’ (out 30th June) below.

Technically not newcomers, this is the first time we’ve really sat up and paid attention to the band thanks to this towering string-driven pop song that has really set them apart from the shoegazy fuzz of their previous releases and made them a much more interesting prospect.

“We wanted to push Ross’ melody and lyrics to the fore and tried to leave the production as clear, honest and emotional as possible. Davide Rossi (Goldfrapp) played all the strings, layering them up and weaving around the song’s simple repetitive riff,” says founding member Tim Crompton.

We’re expecting big things to come from the band based on this latest offering, which should finally see them striding out into the mainstream.
