The High Wire
Pump Your Little Heart Grandpa Stan

Article written by Kev W - Feb 14, 2011

The High Wire wrap up latest album 'The Sleep Tape' with the release of this yearning, life affirming dreamscape. The band claim this to be their favourite song on the album and it's hard to disagree (although they might like to listen to 'It's No Secret' again, just to be sure).

'Pump Your Little Heart' evokes the feeling of twilight optimism, the time where the reality of everyday life gets brushed aside temporarily and all appears warm and cosy. 'The Sleep Tape' may have conjured up a lush, drowsy hinterland, but what we can expect next remains a mystery following this tweet from the band recently:

"the high wire in the studio trying to combine tinie tempah with spacemen 3. actually sounds v mighty boosh!?"

Intriguing, we await the results!
