HIGHER STATE (MONO)

Here it is, right on time, the new album from the Higher State! On their latest album, their third full-length for 13 O' Clock Records, the group turns things back a notch for a bit more stripped-down approach, and in essence by self-titling their latest album, debuts themselves again with twelve new originals, all of which clock in under the three minute mark. Streamlined and simple, yet delivering the goods as usual, with their signature, bedrock sound meshing folk-punk with garage-psychedelia, thoroughly laced with their top-shelf vocal harmonies and insightful, thought-provoking lyrics, delving and probing into the why, how, and what for of the current state of the human condition. The whole affair brought to you in glorious, no fuss, no muss MONO for greatest potency!
