Loud Loop Press on In Tall Buildings' RSD 7"

Loud Loup Press gives you a taste of In Tall Buildings upcoming Record Store Day 7" release on Whistler records.

"The A-side is a cover of “Warm Rock” by fellow Chicagoans Cains And Abels and the B-side is what the press release calls a “bedroom-pop” version of “The Way To A Monster’s Lair” from its self-titled debut. [...] Known for his meticulous and maybe, slow recording process, Hall has apparently thrown these two songs together with a quickness that is in line with the vibe of most Record Store Day releases. Fear not, fans, for Hall is also slowly and methodically working on the full length follow up to his self-titled debut."

Don't miss the band performing live at saki on 4/16, along with Bob Dey's Tank Engine Man, Chaperone, This Is Cinema, Rabid Rabbit, and more! It's gonna be a blast, and not just because it's FREE and BYOB.

Plus, we're hosting an Record Store Day after party at The Burlington, one of our favorite neighborhood watering-holes. Guest DJs include friends from the Runnies, Rabble Rabble, Plustapes, Addenda records, CHIRP and more!
