We goofed. Real bad. We were supposed to premiere this beaut of a track on Tuesday alongside our buddies Rawkblog, Listen Before You Buy, The Blue Indian, and We All Want Someone To Shout For but life got in the way: summer jobs, new apartments, several voyages on the dreaded Long Island Railroad, and a couple of drunken blunders with the law.
But enough about us. Long Beach’s Highlands have bestowed us with “Railroad,” the first single off of their debut album Singularity (out June 23rd).
“Railroad” opens with a storm of wooly guitars, instantly creating a rich, dense atmosphere of drone. Highlands hit My Bloody Valentine-territory at times with their shoegaze-y bouts — meaning you won’t be hearing any complaints from me.
