HIGHS are on tour in support of their debut full length album Dazzle Camouflage available on Indica Records. The album features eleven tracks of HIGHS now signature sound of bright-sided Afro-pop and shimmering indie-pop, all beats and harmonies that just take one higher and higher. While Paul Simon’s Graceland is the go-to reference for HIGHS, intriguingly on the track "Acting Strange" the band stretches into Fleetwood Mac vox territory conjuring up Tango In The Night era McVie/Nicks. Tango is the one with the jungle on the cover so maybe there’s something in there of an African twist too.
