DESCRIPTION:
Originally the brainchild of crooning minstrel Gregory Griffin; a Californian recently transplanted to a giant warehouse in the Manor House area of London, Lofty Heights have since evolved into a band of mid-20s misfits peddling Colin Meloy influenced indie- pop that spin yarns from lonesome ancient mariners to the perils of sharing the washing-up!

Debut single Eye Contact is a beautifully orchestrated chamber pop ditty that sees Greg interlace Beach Boy inspired harmonies over heartfelt lyrics and rich instrumentation including cello, slide guitar and piano accompaniment. Self released by the band on their own label Unit Rad records with Alan James PR (La Roux) working the radio, the single is set appease your ear lobes from 5th October. Taking shape on a 7" Clear Vinyl with artwork from noted illustrator Sophie Kern. Including a packet of apple seeds in the first 100, so anyone can plant their own apple tree in the spirit of the B- Side Skeleton Apples.

When Griffin is not fixing radiators, constructing his studio or composing Belle and Sebastian- style pop songs on a charango, the compelling Lofty Heights live shows are a whirling dervish of surf melodies, moustaches and absurd in-jokes.
