The High Wire : 'The Midnight Bell'

The High Wire : 'The Midnight Bell'

 

Released:2nd March 2010

Label: Grandpa Stan

 

In all honesty, I know nothing about The High Wire, though small press release tells me that previous singles have been referred to as “the perfect summer single” by The Sunday Times and this single has been remixed by Disco Bloodbath (which excites me) though it turns out the mix is not on the promo CD (which does not excite me). 

So, I am happy to report that the single is, indeed, utterly lovely. One is immediately greeted by warm strings, soft bells and lush vocals which draw you in as though to a roaring fireplace in winter. Like being greeted with an electric blanket and a mug of cocoa when coming in from a blizzard. A beautiful single. 

Now, can someone just get me the Disco Bloodbath rework?
