Tune in to birnCORE Friday, March 30th @ 8 PM EST for a live broadcast from The Red Room @ Cafe 939 featuring In Tall Buildings and Photocomfort.
In Tall Buildings is a one-man polymathic project of Chicago songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Erik Hall. Producer and engineer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine) joined him in the studio for his last album, Driver, back in 2015.
PopMatters said, “Driver is heavy on melodies and breezy in its effortlessness. It’s the kind of album that moves in different ways during different times and reveals aural layers on multiple listens.”
Based out of Boston, Photocomfort is the electro pop project of Justine Bowe. Her music takes influence from radio pop of the 90’s in Alanis Morissette and Dido as well as the more modern Radiohead and Solange. She has shared the stage with acts such as Whitney, Beruit, and Glass Animals. Her new EP, Understudy, is out later this year and features soaring vocal hooks over nimble electronic arrangements.
