Tall Heights

Lush, harmony-drenched folk anchored by a weeping cello. Gentle acoustic patterns meet subtle electronic textures for a sound that feels like a warm, heavy blanket.

Intro

Tall Heights creates a sound that is both intimate and expansive, like a secret whispered in a cathedral. At the core of their music is the interplay between Tim Harrington’s guitar and Paul Wright’s cello, two instruments that weave around each other with the familiarity of old friends. Their voices are almost indistinguishable in their blend, creating a singular, breathy harmonic force that carries a deep sense of longing and peace.

What truly sets them apart is their 'electro-folk' evolution. While they started as buskers in Boston, they have meticulously added layers of synthesizers and electronic percussion that never feel cold or artificial. Instead, these digital elements act as a soft glow behind the organic wood of the cello and guitar, elevating their chamber-folk roots into something cinematic and modern.

Start with the album 'Man of Stone' to hear their purest folk foundations, then move to 'Neptune' to experience how they successfully integrated electronic textures without losing their soul. It is the perfect music for moments of transition, reflection, or simply finding a pocket of stillness in a loud world.

Tall Heights is an electrofolk duo based in Boston, USA. The group was formed in 2009 and consists of the singer/guitarist Tim Harrington and the singer/cellist Paul Wright. Tours have also featured the percussionist/singer Paul Dumas. Their albums are Man of Stone, Neptune, Pretty Colors For Your Actions, Juniors, and Softly Softly.
