In two short years since, Tall Heights has headlined packed listening rooms across New England, toured down to Austin Read Full BioTall Heights is an American electro-folk duo based in Boston, MA.

In the summer of 2010, Harrington and Wright were playing for spare change in Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace. In two short years since, Tall Heights has headlined packed listening rooms across New England, toured down to Austin, TX to showcase at South By Southwest Music Festival, and performed alongside national acts like David Wilcox, Ryan Montbleau, and Andrew Belle.
For the duo’s debut full-length effort, Man of Stone (May, 2013), Tall Heights returned to the home studio, sinking deeper into the vast world they’ve meticulously built for two. The title track and first single, Man of Stone, recalls a time when cavemen documented day-to-day existence on the walls of their stone-sheltered dwellings. “Emblems of cavemen they taught me / the importance of typing in bold,” contextualizes the rest of the record and challenges a careful listener to view each song as a vital documentation of what is both banal and extraordinary. The record exists in a fire-lit, shadowy space for their growing army of fans to inhabit. After two powerful EPs, Rafters (2011) and the Running of the Bulls EP (2012), there has been a growing cry for more from these young artists, and Tall Heights delivers with an LP of grand vision and scale.
RECENT PRAISE
“Tall Heights’s delicate melodies and gentle harmonies create a rare public space where the people can slow down, even stop, and suspend the chaos of city life in exchange for some really great music.”-Meghna Chakrabarti, NPR
“if you still remember how happy your ears were when you first listened to Bon Iver or Arcade Fire and realized you’d stumbled into singer/songwriter oblivion… you can trust me when I say this show is worth seeing.” – Boston Magazine
“…beautiful harmonies, exquisite musicianship, intricate songwriting. I love it when the bar is set so high” –David Wilcox

Tall Heights Lyrics
How do I wake my spirit cold?
We always say when our history's told
If only we knew the things we know
There's a question ages old
Let me down easy, let me down slow
If all good things ever come and go
Let me back down in a place I know
Hold the nail for the hammer stroke
Oh this my trash, this my tome
Oh this my blood, this my bone
How do I learn my dreams to mold,
To lay them bare in the morning cold?
If they're still out there then the chasm grows
For all you know, for all you've known
Let me down easy, let me down slow
If all good things ever come and go
Let me back down in a place I know
Hold that nail for the hammer stroke
Oh this my weapon, this my loam
Oh this my blood, this my bone
How do I wake my spirit cold?
Most people die but others just go
She's still out there and the chasm grows
Steady are the feet in the morning glow
Oh this my trash, this my tome
Oh this my weapon, this my loam
Oh this my mountain, this is my home
How do I wake my spirit cold?
There's a question ages old

Juliana Foresti
I can’t handle it.
You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.
My blue angel.
You know, all my friends know that i date you.
Today i had a crise in the middle of my class, and i run to the bathroom, i called my mom.
But i had to calm down till she came to pick me up.
You know what i think about?
You.
I dreamed of you.
And for long minutes i could breath.
You.
You blue haired girl you’re my everything

This makes me think of driving down an unfamiliar, winding road through beautiful woods on a foggy morning, the girl I love asleep in the passenger seat next to me, and me just trying to think of what I'll say to her when she awakes.
My name is August West
Tell her to get her feet off the dash. You just cleaned it.

I have terrible insomnia, can stay awake for up to 4 days sometimes with little or no sleep at all. This channel seriously is a stress reliever, such relaxing music.

@Evan Long I have insomnia. I'm on sleep meds and I also sleep with this channel every night. I've been told that insomnia is common in people with autism. This might be why I have issues
