Boston progressive folk duo Tall Heights recently announced the release of their debut major label LP, Neptune, out August 19 on Sony Music Masterworks. Neptune is the follow up to 2015's Holding On, Holding Out EP which was met with critical acclaim from outlets like NPR and Wall Street Journal who compared their emotive harmonies and poignant lyrics to the likes of Simon & Garfunkel, Sigur Ros and Bon Iver. As a follow up to the lush, winsome track "River Wider" , the band dropped a new single, "Iron In The Fire", today with Fuse. Tim Harrington shares, "In the beginning, this was intended to be a song about the cost of long-distance relationships on the environment. Ironically, Paul, the more fervent environmentalist in the group, diluted the message." Featuring pristine vocal harmonies along with subtly chugging electric guitar and a spare descending bassline, "Iron In The Fire" is available to stream HERE.

The multi-talented singer songwriters, composers, and instrumentalists featuring Paul Wright on cello/vocals and Tim Harrington on acoustic guitar/vocals got their start busking on the streets of Boston, growing up in a neighboring town in Massachusetts. Neptune is a far lusher construct than those early acoustic days - notably the ethereal synthesizers and spacious drum part on breakout hit "Spirit Cold" (recently surpassing 6 million stream on Spotify), a brittle splash of percussion to open "Backwards and Forwards" and feedback created by two cellphones on "Cross My Mind."

The band is on tour all Summer through Autumn, including an opening slot for José González. See full list of dates HERE. For a taste of Tall Heights' captivating live show, watch the band's stunning live performance of album single "Spirit Cold" HERE.
