The High Hawks have revealed a lyric video for their song “Temperature Is Rising.” Looking toward another presidential election year, the song and video anticipate division ahead. The song appears on their upcoming sophomore album, Mother Nature’s Show, out February 16, 2024 on LoHi Records.
The song’s co-writer, Tim Carbone, shares:
Social media has turned into a poison and it’s played a large part in the disconnect and dissonance in our society. ‘Temperature Is Rising’ tries to chronicle and address that.
The High Hawks features Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon), Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth), Chad Staehly (Great American Taxi), Adam Greuel (Horseshoes & Hand Grenades), Brian Adams (DeadPhish Orchestra), and Will Trask (Great American Taxi).
They all bring decades of recording and touring history to the project which they recorded at Minnesota’s Pachyderm Studios. The song sequence on the album takes the listener down Highway 61, the “Blues Highway” immortalized by Bob Dylan, that follows the Mississippi River from Minnesota to New Orleans, passing through St. Louis, Memphis and the Mississippi delta.
The rest of of the songs on Mother Nature’s Show bring together influences from Southern, Country and Psychedelic Rock and more.
All physical pre-orders (CD/vinyl) from LoHi will be automatically entered for a chance to win win an Epiphone acoustic guitar autographed by the band.
