Inspired by the lyrics of ‘Broken Heart’ by\nSkip Spence, it’s a 12-string-propelled nugget that best shows how\nEZTV operate: toeing the line between past and present, with a keen\near for left-of-the-dial experimentation that never lets the songs hew\ntoo far into pastiche and genre nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the band’s foundational inspirations - the Feelies’ upstart\njangle, the upside-down pop architecture of Arthur Russell’s power\npop band The Necessaries, Shoes’ aching harmonies - are back in\nplay on ‘High In Place’, their sophomore album, though new\ninstruments and feels abound throughout. Produced and engineered\nby the band themselves, a baby grand piano rings and 12-string\nacoustic guitars shimmer throughout the album, recalling the cleareyed\nproduction techniques of Jeff Lynne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking advantage of tour stopovers, trips to attend weddings, or\neven just commandeering someone’s vacation for a few days, EZTV\ninvited some likeminds and fellow songwriters into the studio - Jenny\nLewis, Chris Cohen, Martin Courtney and Matt Kallman of Real Estate,\nJohn Andrews of Quilt, Nic Hessler and Mega Bog - to guest on ‘High\nIn Place’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAptly recorded on a tape machine purchased from a Lower East Side\nStudio that was going out of business, in a space where the New\nYork City skyline both loomed and inspired through its glass\nwindows, ‘High In Place’ is an album of golden pop songs worthy of\nany era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Flying Faith\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRacing Country\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReason To Run\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStates Of Confusion\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHammock\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemporary Gold\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Long’s It Gonna Be\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49975444996338,"sku":"CT250LP","price":6.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-65845.jpg?v=1787637944","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/high-in-place-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
