New High Wire Music Video


THE HIGH WIRE
 LNOE Video
Released 29 July 2013
Starring Ray Winstone
Directed by Mat Whitecross

This video and song are not going to make you want to get up and dance, but not all songs are meant to do that. This is one that makes you slow down and think. Check out The High Wire’s music video here or click on the link below to show them your support.

To coincide with the release of LNOE as a single on 29 July 2013, The High Wire are now sharing the official video. Directed by Mat Whitecross (Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, The Road To Guantanamo, Spike Island) and starring Ray Winstone, the video is set against the backdrop of Whitecross’ stunning film noir Ashes (2013) – an engrossing rumination on love over time, plagued by unanswered questions and lingering sadness.  Beautifully shot, it centers on Alzheimers-afflicted Frank (Winstone), whose surroundings are constantly changing and out of focus. Highlighting Frank’s condition and past relationship with his wife (played by Lesley Manville), the video perfectly suits the darker emotional undercurrent of the track. By turns abstract and heart wrenching, the video shares the apocalyptic bent of Fight Club’s skyscraper climax, fitting for a song as massive as LNOE.

Ghost Loft Takes on “LNOE”

BRITISH / CANADIAN INDIE OUTFIT
The High Wire
Premiere FREE Ghost Loft Remix of Buzzed About Single “LNOE”

“’LNOE’ captivates with a high-flying melody that sticks, but the indie pop anthem has been transplanted into an electronic setting, taking on an almost apocalyptic tone that makes the “last night on Earth” line really come to life.”
Ghost Loft has been busy this last year in Remixing songs for several groups.  This is another one to add to their portfolio, “LNOE” performed by The High Wire.
 
The High Wire began in 2007 as a vehicle for singer/songwriter Tim Crompton. Tim started out recording tracks solo with Producer Julian Simmons (Guillemots, Midlake), until West coast Canadian Alexia Hagen and UK native Ross Forrest joined Tim as core members of The High Wire and the three-piece vision was established.

The High Wire’s Latest

 

ANGLO CANADIAN INDIE OUTFIT
The High Wire
PREMIERE swirling string led single “LNOE”
Exclusively Through Pigeons & Planes
 
“there’s a crispness and melodic power that drives “LNOE”… It’s a song that strikes a chord between anthemic and laid back, with strings and production touches fit for a stadium-mover and a melody that could easily be placed on top of a lone acoustic guitar and hold up just fine.”
— Confusion, Pigeons & Planes
 
 
Indie outfit The High Wire, who are named after the Richard and Linda Thompson song “Walking on a Wire,” premiere new track “LNOE” exclusively through Pigeons & Planes.
The Hire Wire’s sound for this single is quite a bit of instrumentation.  I like to hear different sounds within my music and with the violin and bell it achieves that for me.  This might not appeal to most people at first, but if you listen to it a few times I think you will appreciate it.  The vocals are nice and clear and they kind of sound like the ’60’s songs.  Give it a try by clicking the link above.
