Tropically tinged Toronto indie rockers HIGHS have unveiled a brand new track called "Mango," and you can hear it first right here on Exclaim.ca.
HIGHS evolved out of bedroom demos from guitarist Doug Haynes and have grown into a cohesive unit, blending Afrobeat influence with catchy hooks and harmonies. They'll be re-releasing their debut self-titled EP on October 21, with the added bonus of new track "Mango" — the perfect antidote to the onslaught of fall weather.
It's a bright, jangly ode to the tasty fruit that'll have you looking back and longing for a little bit more of summer. You can see the island vibes come to life at the group's upcoming tour dates, listed below. Scroll past the upcoming gigs to hear ringing guitars, upbeat rhythms and sunny harmonies come together on "Mango" in the player at the bottom of the page.
