Album Review: Pretty City - Heights

Stephanie Tell

Heights draws on retro and shoegaze elements without being derivative; taking full advantage of contemporary production within its eclectic brand of fuzz rock.

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.
