The album comes twenty years after Hall originally fell in love with home recording at age 13 – the year he got his hands on his first multi-track recorder. As a multi-instrumentalist and producer Hall eventually went on to record and tour with several groups, including old friends His Name is Alive and, more recently, dream-pop duo Wild Belle, performing the rhythm section tracks and lending an engineering hand to their Columbia Records debut. In 2010 Hall’s home recording efforts yielded the first In Tall Buildings album, which The Huffington Post called “gorgeous indie-pop”, and the Chicago Tribune found “hypnotic”. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, he summed up much of his philosophy about composition with a pair of conflicting quotes he attributes to Allen Ginsberg and Kurt Vonnegut, respectively: “First thought, best thought” and “Edit yourself, mercilessly.” Loosely guided by these principles, Hall set out once again to assemble a new batch of songs, when he wasn’t recording and touring with other bands. In stark contrast to the dense polyrhythms echoed by NOMO’s albums, Driver uses a relatively simple palette to create spacious pop songs, leaving plenty of room for Hall’s often Peter Gabriel-esque vocals to shine. The music, though culled from every guitar, keyboard, and drum he managed to fit into his home studio, is powerful in it’s restrained simplicity, and it’s a compelling foil to the haunting gravity of his vocal performance. Never rushed, his melodies deliver elliptical lyrics that manage to feel intimate, while retaining a sense of mystery. Ultimately, the album’s melancholic vibe is relatable, rather than moping or histrionic, and in the end these songs are incredibly comforting and inviting. “…hypnotic…” CHICAGO TRIBUNE “…a winning mix of folk, chamber-pop, and experimental composition.” TIME OUT CHICAGO “…In Tall Buildings’ music grabs you immediately.” DAYTROTTER “…gorgeous indie-pop.” HUFFINGTON POST “In Tall Buildings is the aural representation of a pleasantly scattered mind.” AMERICAN SONGWRITER Artist In Tall Buildings Genre Rock And Pop Label Western Vinyl Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 01 Bawl C ry Wail 02 All You Pine 03 Exiled 04 Unmistakable 05 Al oft 06 Flare Gun 07 I’ll Be Up Soon 08 Cedarspeak 09 When You See Me Fall 10 Pouring Out Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Neil Young This Note’s For You Rock And Pop | Warner Bros | 1LP Released 31st August 2018 £19.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Neil Young This Note’s For You £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Bros SKU: 0075992571913 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st August 2018 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Elvis Costello & The Attractions The Costello Show: King Of America Rock And Pop | Back To Black | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th October 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elvis Costello & The Attractions The Costello Show: King Of America £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Back To Black SKU: 4733118 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Super Furry Animals At The BBC Rock And Pop | Strangetown Records | 4LP Released 7th December 2018 £84.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Super Furry Animals At The BBC £84.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Strangetown Records SKU: STR044LP Formats: 4LP Released Date: 7th December 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Master Peace Peace of Mind Rock And Pop | PMR Records | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 28th April 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Master Peace Peace of Mind £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PMR Records SKU: PMR202LP Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 28th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists A Giant Has Nowhere To Go: Tongue Master Records Presents Selections From Comes With A Smile (2000-2006) Rock And Pop | Tongue Master | 1LP, Includes 7" Released 10th February 2023 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists A Giant Has Nowhere To Go: Tongue Master Records Presents Selections From Comes With A Smile (2000-2006) £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Tongue Master SKU: TMASTLP004 Formats: 1LP, Includes 7" Released Date: 10th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View ITASCA Imitation of War Rock And Pop | Paradise Of Bachelors | 1LP Released 9th February 2024 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders ITASCA Imitation of War £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Paradise Of Bachelors SKU: POB073LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jessie Baylin Jersey Girl Rock And Pop | Missing Piece Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd September 2022 £20.00 Select options Jessie Baylin Jersey Girl £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Missing Piece Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Yard Act Where’s My Utopia?
