Spin has defined High Highs as "Church Wave." I like to think of them more as acoustic based chill wave... Some people might laugh at me for that one. The New York duo transplanted from Australia with a mindset of dance-music trending softer so maybe that comaprison isn't too lofty. Either way, these guys certainly bring the chill with their music. With their debut four song self-titled EP, they craft soft melodies around acoustic guitars and throw even fluffier noises on top of it all to completely relax the listener. This is more headphone music while staring at a frozen pond in the dead of winter. This is the stuff Thoreau was searching for at Walden. The sounds remind me of The Radio Dept. and Fleet Foxes circa the Sun Giant EP. Throw some Young Man in their while you're at it too.
Check out "Horses" below and download (buy) their EP at their Bandcamp here.
