|:: Year after year the New York City we know, in constant ::|
|:: flux, changes with some parts disappearing altogether. ::|
|:: Take the Brooklyn venue where the three-piece EZTV ::|
|:: played their first show two years ago ù gone. The East ::|
|:: Village record store that stocked the band's first tape ::|
|:: on consignment ù shuttered. As the band watch their ::|
|:: compatriots move out of the city to cheaper, more ::|
|:: idyllic pastures, it's as if New York itself is telling ::|
|:: them: "Drop dead." When lead singer, songwriter and ::|
|:: guitarist Ezra Tenenbaum sings, "Facedown on the ::|
|:: concrete, While I dream of wider streets" on "States of ::|
|:: Confusion," you can hear weariness in his voice, and a ::|
|:: touch of wistful "what-if" longing for more room, a ::|
|:: little less hassle, a few more trees... maybe even a ::|
|:: garage to park the 8-track machine. ::|
|:: ::|
|:: But the shining "High Flying Faith"ù the first song ::|
|:: written for the album ù is a refutation of urban ::|
|:: weariness, it's title perhaps acting as a makeshift ::|
|:: motto for the optimism (and stubbornness) that is key ::|
|:: to New York bands like EZTV. Inspired by the lyrics of ::|
|:: "Broken Heart" by Skip Spence, it's a ::|
|:: 12-string-propelled nugget that best shows how EZTV ::|
|:: operate: toeing the line between past and present, with ::|
|:: a keen ear for left-of-the-dial experimentation that ::|
|:: never lets the songs hew too far into pastiche and ::|
|:: genre nostalgia. Many of the band's foundational ::|
|:: inspirations ù the Feelies' upstart jangle, the ::|
|:: upside-down pop architecture of Arthur Russell's power ::|
|:: pop band The Necessaries, Shoes' aching harmonies ù are ::|
|:: back in play on High in Place, their sophomore album, ::|
|:: though new instruments and feels abound throughout. ::|
|:: Produced and engineered by the band themselves, a baby ::|
|:: grand piano rings and 12-string acoustic guitars ::|
|:: shimmer throughout the album, recalling the clear-eyed ::|
|:: production techniques of Jeff Lynne. ::|
|:: ::|
|:: One great advantage to living in New York: eventually ::|
|:: all your friends come to visit. Taking advantage of ::|
|:: tour stopovers, trips to attend weddings, or even just ::|
|:: commandeering someone's vacation for a few days, EZTV ::|
|:: invited some like-minds and fellow songwriters into the ::|
|:: studio ù Jenny Lewis, Chris Cohen, Martin Courtney and ::|
|:: Matt Kallman of Real Estate, John Andrews of Quilt, Nic ::|
|:: Hessler and Mega Bog ù to guest on High in Place. Aptly ::|
|:: recorded on a tape machine purchased from a Lower East ::|
|:: Side Studio that was going out of business, in a space ::|
|:: where the New York City skyline both loomed and ::|
|:: inspired through its glass windows, High in Place is an ::|
|:: album of ten golden pop songs worthy of any era. ::|
