Progressive instrumental three-piece Heights have been creating their subtle and intelligent compositions in a small room in Reading since 2006. There’s never been an agenda, big strategy or game plan - just three good friends with a love of writing interesting music.
However greatness can’t stay hidden forever; festival offers and higher profile gigs inevitably materialised, followed by a record deal with renowned forward thinking label Basick Records to release ‘Phantasia On The High Processions Of Sun, Moon And Countless Stars Above’.
Combining elements of prog rock, post rock, jazz and classical composition, Heights weave intricate nuances through textured soundscapes with a wonderful air of simplicity. Guitarist Al Heslop’s grand compositional vision, Bassist John Hopkins’ finesse and Jamie Postones’ natural groove become a luscious flow of sound that is both beautiful and deeply detailed.
Produced by guitarist Al, ‘Phantasia On The High Processions Of Sun, Moon And Countless Stars Above’ is full and majestic but also simple and raw; every pluck, slide and ghost note is crystal clear, as if you're sitting in the room with the band.
Their third record to date, ‘Phantasia On The High Processions Of Sun, Moon And Countless Stars Above’ is HEIGHTS' most adventurous effort yet.
