Tesseract fans among you should know Jay Postones as the curly-haired beatmaster at the back of the stage that keeps everything rolling along funkily. But did you know that Jay has another pretty rad project on his resume? Now you know!
Not surprisingly, Jay's other band Heights is nice and proggy, an instrumental counterpoint to the powerful vocal work that has been one of the cornerstones of Tesseract's sound through every vocalist change. Also not surprisingly, Jay's drumming is as solid as always, even if Heights isn't necessarily as "heavy" as Tesseract, per se.
All comparisons aside, the important bit of takeaway here is that Heights are working on their third album, the proggily titled Phantasia on the High Processions of Sun, Moon, and Countless Stars Above, and that they've recently released a track from said album. Besides having its own appropriately lengthy title, "SOLAR (Bringer of Chaos), LUNAR (Bringer of Light)" is a melodic journey of fairly epic proportions. It starts out with a recurring darkly labyrinthine groove and ends up in decidedly brighter territory, like sunlight coming through clouds. How's that for a poetic description for you? Sink your teeth into some Heights already.
