Album Review: Pretty City - Heights

Energetic psych opener, Fall In And Out Of Love, is an intoxicating concoction of deep guitar melodies and high, fluid vocals. These also feature in spectral follow-up track, If Fire Dies, blended into a smoother, drawn-out sonic soundscape that meshes buzzing, trebly guitars. The EP's second half captures more traditional, upbeat rock with a subtle use of hazy distortion and grungy reverb. Heights draws on retro and shoegaze elements without being derivative; taking full advantage of contemporary production within its eclectic brand of fuzz rock. They play Spin Cycle Festival, Wool Exchange (Geelong) and Boney, 30 Nov.
