High Up

High Up (The Faint, Orenda Fink, ex-Bright Eyes, etc) releasing LP, touring (listen)

High Up hail from the Omaha/Saddle Creek and their lineup includes some familiar faces, such as Orenda Fink (Azure Ray, Now It’s Overhead), her husband Todd Fink (The Faint), and Matt Focht (ex-Bright Eyes). Bright Eyes collaborator Mike Mogis produced their new album You Are Here, which comes out February 23 via Team Love. The lineup is rounded by Josh Soto and Orenda’s sister Christine Fink, whose soulful, powerful pipes lead this band. You can get a taste of their sound with “Domino,” which sort of finds the middle ground between ’70s soul and modern indie rock, and premieres below. You can also hear two other tracks and pre-order the album here.

High Up are also touring in March. All dates are with Whispertown and select shows are also with Jake Bellows, including the NYC show on March 13 at Berlin. Tickets for that show are on sale now. All dates are listed below.
