About Tall Heights:
Tim Harrington (vox, guitar) Paul Wright (vox, cello)

It’s been half a decade since Tall Heights kicked off their career in Boston’s Faneuil Hall, busking for more than 100 days to help fund their very first EP. Paul Wright would play cello, Tim Harrington would strum the acoustic guitar, and both bandmates would sing, their voices cutting through the noise of shoppers and tourists.

Since those days, the duo’s harmony-heavy indie folk has taken Tall Heights from the marketplaces of Massachusetts to stages across the country. They’ve toured America, released critically-acclaimed album, Man of Stone, and earned a spot on the same folk family tree as Simon & Garfunkel and Bon Iver. On 2015’s Holding On, Holding Out, though, the duo widen their reach significantly, beefing up their sound with electronics, synthesizers, drums loops, Casio keyboards, and plenty of shimmer and shine. It’s a record of exploration and expansion, with Tall Heights building something towering on top of their folksy foundation.

“This record feels like a new birth for us,” says Harrington, a Boston native who grew up singing in the same local choirs as Wright. “We’re sounding different. It’s not because we were bored; it’s because we were street performers who learned how to create beautiful moments as a duo, but then we became a nationally-touring act. We saw the country, we broadened our horizons. Suddenly, we weren’t the artists we were before. But a lot of what we learned on the street still rings true to our approach today, so this record is a growth, rather than a left-hand turn.”

Lyrics:
She buried me in powder in the rain
She buried me in sapphire wicked pain
After she carried me away

To a place I hadn't chained
After she put out my last cigarette on her boot

A woman makes a boy out of a man
When he thought he knew
just how he'd play his hand
Who's barking orders at the rook
Make him pay for time he took
After she backstacked every key
that's what she'd do

And you, heirloom, had your room painted blue
and you showed me how the crow flys
from your eyes
And I don't mind
I'll do what I'll do
but I won't cry when I leave this town.

She buried me in progress on the range
She bullseyed from the hip as if she'd aimed
After she heard my complaint
'bout a place where I felt safe
and how it changed with the elegy I knew
This world has made a boy out of a man
Oh I thought I knew, but I don't understand
Who breaks the reins to which I took
Makes the rules I overlook
Just when I thought I knew
I thought of something true

And you, heirloom, had your room painted blue
and you showed me how the crow flys
from your eyes.
And I don't mind
I'll do what I'll do
but I won't cry when I leave this town.

And you, heirloom, had your room painted blue
and you showed me how the crow flys
from your eyes.
And I don't mind
I'll do what I'll do
but I won't cry when I leave this town.
