LITE (Topshelf Records) // New Single: “Zone” and UK Tour
Blizzard is a 7″ single that showcases the band’s renowned style of cinematic, melodically rampant math rock. Side A explores a host of stylistic influences, with skittering call-and-response guitars building over an electronic drum loop into a shimmering climax that consumes the listener like a blizzard. B side, “Zone,” returns to the signature urgency of LITE, crashing straight into a breakneck, noodling ostinato that perfectly captures the group’s cinematic style of composition.

Dante High Share “Green Swamp” Video
5 years ago I quit my job in the city and moved back to the middle of nowhere–my hometown of Pittsboro, NC. I got a job in construction and spend my days in dark crawl spaces, rewiring houses, and tossing asbestos into trash bags. At night I cruise the town in my truck and remember days gone by. I remember making out on the floor of a collapsing trailer while my aggro friends waved guns around. I remember my neighbor driving off a bridge and into the lake during a hurricane. I remember my girlfriend getting hit by a car on the way to prom.
