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 Slim Cessnas Auto Club Unentitled Americana / Country | Alternative Tentacles | 1LP Released 13th February 2012 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Slim Cessnas Auto Club Unentitled £14.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Alternative Tentacles SKU: VIRUS425LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Lodge Days Of Future Passed – My Sojourn Rock And Pop | Keeping The Faith Records | 1LP Released 24th November 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Lodge Days Of Future Passed – My Sojourn £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Keeping The Faith Records SKU: HSKTFLP014 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Palisades Reaching Hypercritical Rock And Pop | Rise Records | 1LP Released 22nd July 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Palisades Reaching Hypercritical £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rise Records SKU: 4050538702958 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob Dylan Life & Life Only; Radio & TV 1961-1965 Rock And Pop | Let Them Eat Vinyl | 2LP Released 27th June 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Dylan Life & Life Only; Radio & TV 1961-1965 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Let Them Eat Vinyl SKU: LETV042LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th June 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Deradoorian The Expanding Flower Planet Rock And Pop | Anticon | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 6th January 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Deradoorian The Expanding Flower Planet £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Anticon SKU: ABR0152LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Geese Low Era b/w Smoke In Japan Rock And Pop | Partisan Records | 7", Single Released 3rd December 2021 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Geese Low Era b/w Smoke In Japan £9.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Partisan Records SKU: PTPS06S2 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Santana Amigos Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 12th April 2024 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Santana Amigos £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2676C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Altered Images Bite – Half-Speed Mastered Rock And Pop | Demon Records | 180g, 1LP, Half Speed Mastered Released 27th October 2023 £32.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Altered Images Bite – Half-Speed Mastered £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Demon Records SKU: DEMREC1152 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Half Speed Mastered Released Date: 27th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View SNAP!
