HIGH. - Come Back Down - LP - Vinyl [JAN 24]

EP - Black Vinyl.  

New Jersey noisegazers High. are excited to announce their sophomore EP, Come Back Down, available January 24, 2025 via longtime New York indie label Kanine Records. The announcement is heralded by lead single “In A Hole,” which begins with a wall of guitars as powerful as the emotions behind it. Inspired by finding friendship and community amid trauma and hardship, the band excavates difficult memories of their past to match their heaviest guitar work to date. 

"’In A Hole’ is inspired by meeting our group of friends,” says lead vocalist Christian Castan. “It’s about being depressed and the people close to you dragging you out of it. It’s about the peace and belonging I used to dream about during childhood trauma and finally finding it. There's a lyric - 'These are the new stars, they burst alive.’ It's about living life at its best and never wanting that feeling to end."

Come Back Down marks the beginning of High.'s creative partnership with longstanding NYC indie label Kanine Records & a key period in the band’s development. With a greater expression of sonic range - more noise, more hooks, more heaviness and more emotion. The sad is sadder, and the love is more in love. More songs about loss and being lost. This moment is the culmination of their growth after their well-received and heavily toured debut EP, Bomber, split released via tastemaker tape labels Julia's War and Suburban Creep.

High. has had a busy year of live performances thus far, from touring around the U.S. with contemporaries like all under heaven, She’s Green, Shut Ups, Interlay and Birthday Girl to rocking local opening slots with DIIV, Soul Blind, Narrow Head and Been Stellar.
