Tim Harrington and Paul Wright of Tall Heights got their start playing for spare change in Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace. In a few short years since, Tall Heights has performed alongside national acts like Laura Marling, Ryan Montbleau, Andrew Belle, and Wild Child. For the duo’s debut full-length effort, 2013's "Man of Stone"Tall Heights hits the home studio, sinking deeper into the vast world they’ve meticulously built for two. The title track recalls a time when cavemen documented day-to-day existence on the walls of their stone-sheltered dwellings. The words “Emblems of cavemen they taught me / the importance of typing in bold” set the stage for the rest of the record and challenge a careful listener to view each song as a vital documentation of both the ordinary and the extraordinary.

With four distinct voices clustered around a single microphone, Darlingside effortlessly draw audiences into their lush musical world. David Fricke of Rolling Stone describes them as “a quartet with a rich line in acoustic textures and chamber-rock dynamics.” The band’s sound, characterized by classical strings, tight vocal arrangements, bluegrass and rock instrumentation, and smart lyricism, is the product of complete collaboration among the four close friends. The group has no frontman; instead, lead vocals are traded from moment to moment, and each song features a new combination of instruments and textures, pulling heavily from folk, retro-pop, barbershop, and chamber music.
