A 2 CD set from a big Not Lame fave from the last 5 years. You were wondering where they were, right? Well, "Moon Country" from The High Dials has had a very low profile and is, sadly, about to go out of print. Released in Canada by the band late in 2008, only core fans and those seeing the band live have had access to this expansive, exploratory gem. This 2 CD set is a brilliant recording of jangle, psychedelia and colorful melodies. The album is about as ambitious as a pop album can get. "Everything that great rock and roll was meant to be: euphoric, pained, sweet, dark, dangerous, passionate, surprising and wholly addictive."
4 1/2 Stars - Ottawa Citizen The album was produced by Joseph Donovan (Sam Roberts, The Dears) and was recorded in a stone cottage in Ireland and the band`s hometown. "Close breathy harmonies, dreamy pop collages and intelligent wordplay deceptively beautiful psychedelia and the smart, sardonic asides - An enigmatic song suite where the phantoms of the title aren`t the kind that go bump in the night, but are the ghosts of lost love and innocence. If nothing else, this record is a compelling journey through heartbreak."- Rough Trade "Clever but heartfelt lyrics and gorgeous pop melodies" Top 10 albums of 2008 - Montreal Mirror. "Gorgeous, dazzling...These guys slay me again" The Globe and Mail"The High Dials erect psychedelic pillars on a strong 60s pop foundation, from acid-soaked melodies to Madchester grooves to shoegazer resound-sound" "- Exclaim.
