THURSTON MOORE FAVES RETURN WITH THIRD ALBUM. Limited LP is on white vinyl. LP includes a download card with 5 additional bonus tracks, all cover versions. The band play the Jeff Mangum curated ATP Festival in Minehead this March. Track 7, ‘Crooked Smiles’ is about the festival. Includes a nice cover of Arthur Russel\’s \’I Couldn\’t Say It To Your Face.\’ Dave Mies and Aaron Mullan have been pals since junior high school. Starting in 1990, they literally taught each other how to play guitar, wood-shedding shoulder to shoulder. The first complete tune they could ever play start to finish was the Circle Jerks’ \’Beat Me Senseless\’; soon afterward they took on Mississippi John Hurt\’s \’Payday\’. Today they continue to refine a creole guitar language that is pretty much a two-man weave between those same disparate destinations. After high school, the boys went in different directions for a while. Aaron was an early collaborator of freeform drum hero Chris Corsano; Dave fronted Baltimore band Blue Condors backed by Emo legends Colin Seven (Universal Order of Armeggedon) and Monica DiGialleonardo (Moss Icon). The ‘Firs reconnected in NYC in late 2001, where they recorded their self-titled debut. Released on Thurston Moore\’s Ecstatic Peace!, ‘Tall Firs’ was a country-smeared and stripped-down work of song writing and atmosphere that fit in somewhere between the grungy nineties and the dust bowl of the nineteen thirties. The album that followed, \’To Old To die Young\’ included the addition of Ryan Sawyer on the drum stool, and produced the decidedly more rock-o\’-clock feel of a fully electric outfit. In 2009 Tall Firs fell in love with another band and spent the year on a resulting collaboration called Glass Rock. The band then took most of 2010 off, while Aaron toured playing bass in Hallogallo with Michael Rother and Steve Shelley. They got back down to business in early 2011 to complete a new LP titled \’Out of It and Into it\’ For ‘Out of It and Into It’ the fellas go back to their guitar duo origins. It’s sort of like if country blues never detoured through Chicago on its way to Electric Avenue, or like two people playing Gamelan melodies on the same piano whilst narrating the end of the world in loose harmony. This one calls back to the desolate spaces and warm places introduced on their first disc, while capturing a spirit of adventure and brutal honesty not seen from these guys to date. Over the past 10 years the Firs have shared stages with Thurston Moore, Silver Apples, Jeff Mangum, Shellac, Awesome Color, Emily Haines, Sonic Youth, Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks, Magic Markers, Kurt Vile, Celebration and a host of others. A selection of press to impress (from previous album – Too Old To Die Young): \”In gems like \”The Breeze\” and \”The Woods,\” their duo vocals are moody, without squawking in that already dated freakfolk style; the guitars are occasionally colored by chimes, organ and brushed drums. \”Go Whiskey\” has the high, lonesome shiver of an old Townes Van Zandt record, except without any obvious country affectations. If your idea of staying warm on a winter night is a bottle of bourbon and a bleak memory, Tall Firs will make excellent company.\” Rolling Stone \”If Sonic Youth is the primordial, towering redwood forest of the indie noise-pop landscape, then underground NYC electric folk-duo the Tall Firs are the newly rising evergreens nestled at the foot of them.\” Harp \”These songs possess a sense of simmering tension, where lugubrious lyricism and instrumental drift do not detract from a poised delivery and a subtle but thoughtful use of contrasting shades. The acoustic-electric interplay suggests a kind of rootless, melodic modernity…\” The Wire \”Tall Firs are brimming with an earnest beauty and win through, most notably on the sublime \’Go Whiskey\’ where the guitar sounds as though it was recorded in another, more stately century.\” Q \”Tracks like \’So Messed Up\’ and \’Secrets and Lies\’ melt out of the speakers like warm…honey, and the band still gel when the tempo is raised, as on the motorik droner \’Hairdo\’. There are no elements of \’Too Old to Die Young\’ that haven\’t been used before by any number of New York bands, from Patti Smith to Television to Talking Heads, but the way Tall Firs blend them results in something lusher than any of the others could muster.\” NME \”…a muscularity that recalls Neil Young in one of his more ornery moods, or a beefed-up Galaxie 500.\” The Guardian \”Really calming vibes but also a low-level heaviness sort of thing going on… if you like feeling good and warm, you should get it.\” Vice \”One of the finer experiences New York NEW rock has to offer. Daring and delicious\” Thurston Moore \”…all comparisons are to greats; it grows and grows, slow roots beneath Northwest American forests. And all that\’s inbetween – loveless troubles, picked-out constellations, reflective guitar parts for shoe-gazing or field-grazing – would be at home on literal stretches of road, winding up into dusky glades… Reasons for a recommendation.\” Plan B Artist Tall Firs Genre Rock And Pop Label ATP Recordings Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings 1.
