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 Melt Yourself Down Last Evenings On Earth Rock And Pop | Leaf | 1LP, Includes CD Released 29th April 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Melt Yourself Down Last Evenings On Earth £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Leaf SKU: BAY101V Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 29th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elysian Fields For House Cats And Sea Fans Rock And Pop | Vicious Circle | 1LP Released 3rd March 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elysian Fields For House Cats And Sea Fans £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Vicious Circle SKU: REVERB127 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pond 9 Rock And Pop | Spinning Top Records | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 1st October 2021 £23.00 Select options Pond 9 £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Spinning Top Records Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 1st October 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Super Furry Animals Mwng Deluxe Rock And Pop | Domino | 3LP Released 29th April 2015 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Super Furry Animals Mwng Deluxe £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: REWIGLP98X Formats: 3LP Released Date: 29th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Cocteau Twins Head Over Heals Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP Released 14th March 2024 £30.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Cocteau Twins Head Over Heals £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: nn282731 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Dag Benefits of Solitude Rock And Pop | Bedroom Suck | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th March 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dag Benefits of Solitude £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bedroom Suck SKU: BSR067 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Glyders Maria’s Hunt Rock And Pop | Country Thyme | 1LP Released 20th January 2023 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Glyders Maria’s Hunt £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Country Thyme SKU: CNT102 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gerald Casale It’s All Devo Rock And Pop | MVD | 1LP Released 9th November 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gerald Casale It’s All Devo £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: MVD SKU: MVD1619LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tele Novella Poet’s Tooth Rock And Pop | Kill Rock Stars | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th October 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tele Novella Poet’s Tooth £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Kill Rock Stars SKU: LPKRS705C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Quatro, Scott & Powell Quatro, Scott & Powell – Deluxe Edition Rock And Pop | Rhino | 2LP Released 8th December 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Quatro, Scott & Powell Quatro, Scott & Powell – Deluxe Edition £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 4601620108525 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 8th December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
