Hi-Strung-CD Review
by Tim Wenger
I am not sure what the appropriate mood would be to listen to Hi-Strung, Denver’s take on ominous indie rock with hints of orchestra and pop vocals. Perhaps it would be right before heading out on a date, to take your mind off the anxious thoughts plaguing your brain. Or perhaps it would be afterwards, setting the mood for what is to come next.
Either way, the band’s solemn record Malfunction is an entertaining take on indie music in general; the vocals feeling far away at points, but the lyrics hitting right at home over top of shadowy melodies that bring into bright light the emotion that the band puts into their music.
