Dead High Wire is a three-piece post punk outfit working its way through the Antwerp
underground. Expect punchy 80s drums and edgy cold-wavy riffs from the two guitarists
alternately playing the chorus-drenched bass. They have been kicking stages in Belgium,
the Netherlands and the UK since 2015 with the current members. Pray For Us is the
bands first full album after 2 previous EP's and a 7". Its an absurd meta-pamphlet
in these times of turmoil. Their debut, however sometimes harsh and chillly, sounds
fresh and frisky to the ears. The songs were recorded live on (miles of) tape with an
Otari tape recorder by the band itself and mixed by guitarist Ruben Peeters.

        09.     CODA

Recorded and mixed in one cold January week by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in
Chicago. This is a raw album, stripped down to showcase the live, emotional vibe of
the power trio. The warm analog production lets the compositions and dynamics take
the forefront. Guitarist/vocalist Laura Lee makes her guitar sing soft melodies with
harsh contrasts while belting out the most impassioned vocals. Drummer Jonathan mixes
math-rock and prog-rock beats with speed, energy and emotion, alongside Kwintens
powerful and guttural bass riffs inspired by his hardcore roots. Down the Lees has
followed an eclectic musical path with engaging and dynamic soundscapes inspired by
genres such as post-rock, shoegaze, hardcore, slowcore, and no-wave - often echoing
the work of artists such as Slint, PJ Harvey, Sonic Youth, Cloud Nothings and Low.
