Search - High Water Marks, THE :: Polar

Selling Points: Features members of Apples in Stereo, Oranger and Preston School of Industry From the heights of deep volcanos, glowing like tangerines, the digital watch counts down to magma display. What is the sound of volcanos singing? Not the rumble you hear out your window, not the steam hissing to the sky. What is the pitch of the radiant flame? You cannot put your finger on it. You are afraid of catching fire. Then who will point the way for others? Hailing from deep volcanos, the High Water Marks will point the way, their fingers impervious. Who are these volcano-listeners, these finger-pointers, these High Water Marks? Their first names are Hilarie (guitar / vocal / drums / Moog / keyboard), Per Ole (lead guitar / vocal), Jim (drums / vocal / piano / keyboard / percussion), and Michael (bass guitar). Their last names are Sidney (Apples in stereo, Secret Square), Bratset (Palermo), Lindsay (Oranger, Preston School of Industry), and Snowden (The Fakes), respectively. (Of course we know that you know who they are, but we are leading you to the news that the new High Water Marks album POLAR will be released fall 2007 on Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records. The words next to their surnames disclose other bands that The High Water Marks have been associated with. We include them for those of you in the secret service, to aid you with background checks, and distract you from the hum.) Referencing the background, please hear the volcanos outside. Note that the High Water Marks sound explosive. Like volcanos, they appear around the globe. Unlike volcanos, they fill beautiful pop songs with smashing drums and yearning guitars. Unlike volcanos, they do not fill their songs with lava. Unlike volcanos, the High Water Marks attract crowds with their noise. The analogy is complete. The High Water Marks are erupting.
