Second full-length album by the UK's The Higher State! A dozen new tracks spanning the group's wide spectrum of sound, from jangly folk punk to fuzzed out, revved up, garage psychedelia. Thoroughly dosed throughout with their infectious vocal harmonies and incisive, reflective lyrics. [ Album Notes]
The Higher State are far more than a mere pudding bowl recreation, they're a valid voice for the new bohemia; time bandits who have shared coffee n smokes with Gene Clark and Roky! And let's cut the flowery superlatives (words on paper mean little when music is the topic) let me just say that The Higher State are the only current UK 60's styled garage band that you need to hear. [Jon 'Mojo' Mills - Shindig Magazine]
Formed in Kent, England in 2005, THE HIGHER STATE consists of former members from The Mystreated and The Embrooks. Their sound rise from the deep of 60's style Folk-Rock/Garage/Psych jangle and acts as The Byrds, Love, The Buffalo Springfield, The 13th Floor Elevators and some Fuzzed-Out obscure garage losers. C'mon, step into the time machine and reach THE HIGHER STATE. Dig!!!
