“Maintain You Up” is a memorable new single from Austin-based band Intercom Heights, infusing warmly melodic guitars and synths inside introspective vocal reassurances. The mission says the monitor was “taken from experiences within the final yr the place pals working via unbelievably onerous instances wanted assist, usually from a distance.” Intercom Heights fashioned in 2019, and contains Josie Fluri and Harris Thurmond.
“You’re solely human,” the vocals let loose to open, melding with a buzzing guitar throbbing and nodding percussive glow that reminds fondly of New Order. Effervescent synths and melodic guitar ascensions pair with the vocal layers — admitting they “can’t think about what you’ve been via,” — with warmly reassuring qualities. The 2-minute flip is particularly memorable, constructing from a short sparseness in instrumentation to an anthemic melding of twangy guitars, pit-pattering percussion, and alluring vocal layers. A tasty guitar solo caps off this pretty sequence. “Maintain You Up” is an entirely memorable success from Intercom Heights.
