High Vinyl are a brilliant Cambridge based four-piece band whose sound is beautifully carved around folk, indie and witty observations of the world around them.

"A few tracks of indie folk that ranges in quality from cool to fab. The opener, "Messages" would have a label like Domino drooling heavily as it's all solid bass lines, laid back sneer n drawl vox and superior guitaring without the unnecessary rock histrionics that plague lesser tunes. Their biog lists a whole slew of brit bands as their influences but I can hear Pavement and Will Oldham in here rather than anything else. Bit like The Broken Family band in that while the instrumentation leans to the acoustic the material and the confidence they pump it out with is very rocky in it's dynamics and attack. A long way of saying this would be that this stuff would sound great on a paper comb & dustbin lid." - unpeeled, feb '03
