We’ve been championing High/Low ever since they sent us their first demo for airplay back in August 2012. They’ve finally got round to their debut album, Stuck In A Void, and it’s a cracker. The Southend duo have teased us with a couple of EPs and a couple of Phoenix FM sessions, but the writing on this album takes them a step further ahead. Fans of 90s alternative rock like Sugar, Dinosaur Jr and (the massively underrated Pablo Honey-era) Radiohead will not be disappointed.
oh and great album art too
