Having been described as a ‘Rock version of Clean Bandit’, the band also bear similarities Kate Bush and Camera Obscura, with influences including the likes of The Smiths, David Bowie, Belle and Sebastian and Pulp.
The result of this cocktail is a 6 track EP which blends indie sensibilities with pop elements and roots sounds to create something a little different – but immediately accessible.

Working with producer Brian O’Shaughnessy (produced Primal Scream’s ‘Screamadellica’) as well as with Paul Tipler (Elastica, Idlewild, The Horrors, Stereolab), the ‘High Time’ EP is a technical triumph, finding Tall Poppies at the top of their game in the studio. Working with such high profile names has come as a result of a growing reputation, helped along by superb live notices in both the UK and Australia.
This year they have a number of festival dates to come including Ashford Create festival in July and the Big Cornish Festival in September.
It’s all great news from a fiercely DIY band who are working hard to continue their creative innovations. With self-made music videos, photoshoot costumes and artwork, this is a four piece whose creativity reigns across the board.
‘High Time’ EP is out from Tall Poppies on August 24th.
