Our fourth song is a first peak at Side B. It features the trademark reverb of the old ballroom where the album was recorded. Lyrically, it’s a bleaker perspective on the long-term possibilities between people than ‘Uruguay’, but the High Dials always like some darkness in their sunshine. Shane Watt plays the groovy bassline, Trevor Anderson plays the speeding car. What You Call Love Is A Lie by The High Dials
Month: October 2010
Song preview 3: “Uruguay”
Only three days till the High Dials take the stage at CMJ in New York City!
This is song 4 from Side A, “Uruguay”. Song was written in, you guessed it, Uruguay! Lyrics are about that rarest of treasures- the lifelong friend. Music sounds like a sunny Uruguayan beach. Featuring local jazz cat “Big Red” on saxophone (uncredited on the album). Enjoy.
