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:
Cold breaks the mirror there
Hope beige as paper ware
Rope and my father’s scroll
I'm open as a bell before the toll
Days upon the lonely pyre of our youth
I fell in love with two blue eyes, and that's you
She's awake, she cries, we carry on
Eyes are closed to see the sun is gone
And then the day is done
Child cries for mother's hand, she runs
Smoke in the mirror and, these guns
Hold me so near again
I’m broken as a bell after the war
Days upon the lonely pyre of our youth
I fell in love with 2 blue eyes, and that's you
She's awake, she cries we carry on
Eyes are closed to see the sun is gone
And then our day is done
Don’t be long no, don’t be a drifter no, I let the basin fill
Don’t be long, don’t be that leftover minute
Who we are
