Calvin Halliday and James Hindle have teamed up with Lauren Paige Dowling and Tom Diffenthal from Mr Ben & the Bens for a new release under The U.S. Highball Band moniker (a small twist from their usual U.S. Highball name). The result is a 7” single, a format that is getting rather rare in today’s vinyl landscape. With the ever-rising price of the format, it’s a thrill to say that every track on Aggi Road justifies the effort and expense. These three songs are all standouts, each building on the last for a steady flow of catchy, throwback indie pop that feels both gentle and upbeat, warm and joyful.
Expect to fall hard for the irresistible charm of this release. Out now through Lame-O Records and likely to sell out soon!
