When they go low, we get high. 
High Lonesome is a melodic, literate, garage-pop/pillewave trio from Fayetteville, Arkansas led by poet-lyricist-bassist-composer with a loose canon, Martin Bemberg; driven by ethnomusicologist and drum line pedagogue Dick Darden of trap set; whipped into shape with denim riffs and two bar solos by guitarist, brewmaster, and rock and roll enforcer Sean "Rock Hard" Johnson. Band namesake be a short story collection by late Mr. Southern Lit -- and recruit to UA-Fayetteville's first  MFA class in Creative Writing  -- Barry Hannah, which short story collection's opening is the entitled "Get Some Young." Same as October 2014's full-length album (available on Bandcamp, iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, et cetera et in person or by snail male). "Get Some Young" is the follow-up to 2013's raw and minimal "Sloppy Gospel" EP, which captured the band's early sound using rugged, often MacGuyver-like engineering techniques. "It's Midnight I'm Not Famous Yet," the new full-length is on fleek and in tweak and -finishing touch mode. It's that next level, wear your influences (Zevon, Plato, Pynchon, Rundgren, politics) on your sleeve shit, and it goes there like Degrassi. Capital-T Tunes on feminism, fascism, with fat bass and on fleek riffs and Darden coming soon to a format near you. Soonness TBD, then of course BA.
