Listen to HIGH ALTAR's 'Giant Tortoise / Earth Signal' EP

Propagators of their own self-styled improvisational form of "neon jazz", HIGH ALTAR are the instrumentally enmeshed duo of Taipua Adams (Terror of the Deep, The Perms) and Brendan Moran (Vor-stellen, Hasselhoff Experiment, The Subliminals). Starting their nationwide Adoration Of The Mystic Lamb Tour this coming weekend in Tāmaki Makaurau and Pōneke, listeners at home can at last hear what the pair have been cooking up on HIGH ALTAR's inaugural two track release 'Giant Tortoise / Earth Signal'. Opener 'Giant Tortoise' undulates into view then hones in on perpetual motion grunty riff swagger, while the searing Sabbath / Deep Purple heaviosity of 'Earth Signal' feels like a sonic steamroller for mind and body. Sounding both beguilingly low key and bone-rattlingly triumphant, hit play below and don't miss HIGH ALTAR throwing down in your area...
