Reaching Those High Highs in the LES

In anticipation of their first LP, due out in late spring, the Brooklyn-based band High Highs performed to a tightly-packed crowd last night at Pianos. The setting was intimate and cozy, which is kinda how I would describe their sound—warm layers of harmonies, bouncy drum beats, and comforting synth chords. I think the band's keyboardist/singer, Oli, summed up their sound best when he described it as "like taking a warm bath." Whatever the adjectives, it was a fun gig, and I even spotted some familiar faces in the tight crowd. Check out my bootleg video from the gig, the official video for their EP "Open Season" below, and High Highs' Bandcamp here.

The High Highs will perform at Pianos again on February 15th and 29th.
