In Tall Buildings is the nom de musique for Chicago's Erik Hall, a multi-instrumentalist who released his self-titled debut LP in April 2010 on local label/cocktail bar Whistler Records. The music is lush and moving invoking the best of indie-folk and alt-country. Album highlights are the insistent guitar pluck of opener "Walking Man", the loving jangle and eerie clarinet on "The Way To A Monster's Lair", the Neil Young-tinged beauty of "Suitor" and the aching charmer "Alarm Will Sound". In Tall Buildings will be the headlining artist at the Metro this Saturday for their new local artist showcase Sustainable Sound. Openers include Cloudbirds and Alegbro with a second "Cabaret Stage" featuring Bone and Bell and Sad Brad Smith. It should be a varied, well-rounded and cost-effective evening. The tickets are only $6 in advance, so pick them up early here.
