Biography

Tall Heights consists of Tim Harrington and Paul Wright, who met in their hometown of Sturbridge, MA. The duo got their start busking in Boston,[1] keeping their songs to the essential elements to make them easier to perform on the street.[3] Shortly thereafter, Ryan Montbleau took the band under his wing after watching them perform at the Lizard Lounge Open Mic Challenge in Cambridge, MA. Ryan and Tall Heights began performing together, eventually releasing an EP All or Nothing / Fast Car in 2014.[4] Tall Heights established itself as a Boston indie-folk staple alongside The Ballroom Thieves and Darlingside.[5]

Their first EP Rafters as well as their first full-length album Man of Stone reflect the acoustic sound of Harrington's guitar, Wright's cello, and their two voices. For their 2015 EP, Holding On, Holding Out, they expanded their sound with drums, electric guitar, and keyboards.[6] The single, "Spirit Cold," premiered on The Wall Street Journal on August 19, 2015[6] and its accompanying music video premiered on Paste Magazine on January 28, 2016.[7] According to Wright, the song's lyrics are about "staying present and awake to the bad, but also the good that’s around us.”[6]

The band's sound has been compared to Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes,[8] and Arcade Fire.[9] They have performed with artists such as Ben Folds, Blind Pilot, José González, Wild Child, Lola Marsh, and Shook Twins.[10] The band has recorded a World Cafe session with David Dye[1] and performed on NPR's Mountain Stage.[11] Holding on, Holding Out and Neptune were produced by Oliver Hill of Pavo Pavo.

Tall Heights announced their major label debut Neptune with a premiere of "River Wider" on Stereogum.[12] Fuse premiered the next single "Iron in the Fire," calling it "breathtaking,"[13] and NPR premiered the lyric video for "Infrared."[14] SPIN Magazine listed the band as one of "Five New Artists You Should Hear"[15] and Paste Magazine featured them in their "Best of What's Next" series.[16] Tall Heights made their late night television debut performing "Spirit Cold" on Conan on September 26, 2016.[17]

On July 10, 2018 the band announced their third full-length album, Pretty Colors For Your Actions, would be released on October 5, 2018 on the Sony Masterworks label.[18]
