B/w 'In A World That Just Don't Care'. The Higher State delivers a new top-notch two-sider! Picking up right where the and left off with its last full-length album, the Higher State has dialed back the sound a bit further for an even more stripped-down affair. Both songs, one each written by band members Marty Ratcliffe and Paul Messis, are really shot through the prism of '66 as the group once again amply displays '60s-style garage moves, meshed with folk-punk vibes, whilst as usual adding incisive and thoughtprovoking lyrics to the mix.
