High. - "Catcher"

New Jersey's High. have just released one of the noisiest but loveliest singles of the year. "Catcher" is going to give you some serious 90's flashbacks, even if you weren't actually there. It's a slowed down song that borders on being a ballad, but never quite gets there. It's filled with fuzzed out and shimmering guitars and hushed vocals. The whole thing builds slowly to a glorious crescendo, incorporating some of the most glorious noise around. You can tell "Catcher" is a deeply heartfelt song that combines the lush emotion of Mazzy Star with the crunch and epic sound of Radiohead's first two albums. This is one you can't miss out on.

Lead vocalist Christian Castan says of the band's latest single:

"’Catcher’ explores the depths of grief and the unwavering hope that binds us to those we’ve lost." 

You can watch the video for "Catcher" below. Come Back Down is due out January 24 on Kanine Records, and is available for pre-order on Bandcamp. For more on High., check out the band on Twitter and Instagram. Upcoming tour dates are below the video.
