The Foreverish EP – Pre-order

1

The High Dials are excited to announce the release of their first new music in three years – the FOREVERISH EP!

FOREVERISH will be available digitally via all major platforms worldwide on Nov. 30. A limited number of cassettes and CDs will soon be available via Bandcamp (get them before they’re gone forever – no ish about it).

FOREVERISH is available for PRE-ORDER now and your purchase goes directly into the band war chest, from which they will finance further productions for your listening pleasure. Support culture – it’s good karma!

This EP is the first of a series of new High Dials releases to come, with a full-length album expected in spring 2019.

Fans in Montreal can catch the band live on Nov. 23 at Quai Des Brumes where cassettes and CDs will be available for the first time.

New video premiere

Brooklyn Vegan premiered the official video for “Echoes and Empty Rooms” today.

Directed by Push 1 Stop, the clip features Trevor and Robbie submerged in echoing imagery feedback.

Echoes and Empty Rooms is the title track from the new album “In the A.M. Wilds”, which BV says “nicely mixes atmospherics and noise without sacrificing pop hooks… their MO since the early 00’s”. Get it HERE!

In the A.M. Wilds – Out Now

The High Dials’ latest long-player – “In the A.M. Wilds” is available everywhere as of today. Have a listen and then click over to iTunes or Bandcamp as fast as your mouse will carry you!

The album is charting on CBC and Canadian campus radio and enjoying a positive press buzz in Canada from the likes of Exclaim!, Quick Before It Melts and Gray Owl Point.

The band will be supporting Sam Roberts Band on two dates – Toronto, Feb 14 (Massey Hall – sold out) and Montreal, March 7 (Metropolis).

Desert Tribe EP – Out Now

The High Dials announced their follow up to 2013’s “Yestergraves” today via Exclaim! The “Desert Tribe” EP is available via Bandcamp, iTunes and most major digital outlets.

The new EP features the title track plus 2 exclusive B-sides and 2 remixes.

Musically it follows in the footsteps of its predecessor before veering off into exciting new places where there are no High Dials footsteps at all!

For longtime fans, this should surprise as thoroughly as last year’s did and it offers a tantalizing glimpse of what to expect on the long-awaited new album.

The Desert Tribe EP is a free download when you pre-order the album on Pledge.

Yestergraves EP

With little advance notice to fans, The High Dials ended a long period of creative introspection that almost broke up the band today with the launch of the Yestergraves EP via their Bandcamp page.

This is the first of two EPs planned by the group as they work towards releasing their new full-length LP in 2014.

The songs were recorded in fits and starts over the past year with producer Marc Bell in Montreal.

Hear the finished fruit of High Dials labour in all its cassette-warm glory here and spread the love.

The official launch for the EP happens Friday, November 29th in Montreal at Centre Fusion Culturel.

And watch this space for the Yestergraves official video, coming very soon!

High Dials Stones’ cover – Canadian release

On April 23rd, it will be 50 years to the day that an über-cool 19-year old kid walked into a UK club to catch a set by a local blues band called the Rollin’ Stones.

Young Mr. Oldham promptly added a “g” to their name before making over their sound and style for long-term adulation by world teen-dom. You know the rest of the story.

Less known is how this young hustler then created one of the world’s coolest-ever labels – Immediate – where, inspired by Phil Spector and Brian Wilson, he arranged and released the cult classic – “The Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra Play the Rolling Stones Songbook”.

Fast forward to 2011. The High Dials receive a call from Mr. Oldham’s Colombian headquarters. Would they like to be a part of Rolling Stones Songbook Volume 2? In a heartbeat, “She Smiled Sweetly” is snapped up, string sections are summoned and timpanis dusted off, all in time for the Stones’ golden jubilee.

Plenty far more famous people are also invited to the party- like Johnny Marr, Gryff Rhys and Elliot Easton of the Cars, each collaborating on a different Oldham-era Stones gem.

Rolling Stones Songbook Vol. 2 was released in Canada this past week on Universal. Get it via iTunes or Amazon. A High Dials video is also coming soon – details to follow.
