The Tall Firs

After releasing a debut album in fall 2006 which drew accolades from Rolling Stone, Vice, NME, Q, and Harp amongst others, Tall Firs criss-crossed North America twice in the past year, winning audiences from San Diego to Saskatoon with album cuts and new rockers alike. A March appearance in Austin during South by Southwest drew notice from Rolling Stone’s David Fricke, who described their live set in his Fricke’s Picks column: “A gently uplifting highlight of my…weekend…a psychedelic-folk tangle of spider-leg-guitar arpeggios and hazy, bong-room singalong harmonies.” In May they performed at All Tomorrow’s Parties in the UK, opened dates in Europe for Shellac, and did a short headlining tour of England.

Beyond sporadic apparations amongst the warehouses and backrooms of Brooklyn, Tall Firs will also strike out on a brief tour with labelmates and fellow-travelers Magik Markers this fall. Coming from alternate dimensions of the Ecstatic universe, recent live shows prove the two units are warping the continuum until their trajectories can suddenly be plotted on the same grid. Without warning the Markers are singing and the Firs are rocking. Dude, WTF?

The Hatch

“Channeling Michael Jackson, Elton John and John Brion into a neo-indie pop-rock experience dressed up in a slick RnB style.”
