Guided Tour - Vinyle Bleu Translucide

Description

Since their 2016 formation, Londoners High Vis have consistently refined their brand of progressive hardcore with shades of post-punk, Brit-pop, neo-psychedelia, and even Madchester groove, carving a middle path between hooks and fury, melodies and mosh pits. The band’s deep roots in the UK and Irish DIY hardcore scenes have kept them grounded even as they’ve expanded, inspired by both agitation and righteous anger. Guided Tour sounds like a band reaching new heights, bursting with energy. Recorded over a few weeks in London with producer Jonah Falco and engineer Stanley Gravett (who also helmed the sessions for High Vis’s previous album, (Blending, 2022), the result is dynamic and well-oiled, like anthems etched into memory through sweat and repetition. The album’s 11 songs cover the spectrum of contemporary guitar music. From street punk to indie sneer to heavy alt and shoegazey spoken word, the band’s alchemy translates any style to their unique intensity. Pressed on translucent blue vinyl.
