After drawing parrallels to the likes of Mercury Rev, it would come as no surprise that The High Wire purvey the same beautifully crafted dreamscapes as their elder statesmen did with such adroit. After been “holed up in some darkened studio” since their last release ‘Odds & Evens’, this single straddles a tight rope of dreamy indie-pop, driving rootsy melodies reminiscent of Mercury Rev, harnessed by the solemn purr of Alexis Hagen. Although avoid a state of narcosis as these daydreaming melodies and harmonies have the power to rock you asleep, albeit till that bell sounds.  Spellbindingly compelling pop music!
