Great Highway - Industrial Love Scene [Review]


Electro pop may be all the rage right now, but no one's doing it quite like Great Highway. Combining rhythmic guitar & piano beats with power-house vocals, they're making their mark on the San Francisco music scene. Industrial Love Scene is the group's fourth album, which relies heavily on gorgeous vocal harmonies that string together each track and allow the moody undertones of the lyrics to shine through. 


Great Highway currently consists of members Jason Hunter (the founder), Sarah Morgan, Sean McAllister and Meredith Whelan. The fantastic element of the group is that it doesn't let the electronic and indie beats overpower them, mixing effortlessly with the strong acoustics. Memorable tracks on Industrial Love Scene is the undeniably catchy 'Smoke', which is rather ominous in tone and has a haunting vocal delivery. 'Smoke' also doubles up as the first single off the album. 'Little Black Book' benefits from a crisp production and resonating vocals, and the quirky nature of the track will stick with you. 'The Venom in Me' has a deeply eerie undertone combined with sweeping harmonies and sultry guitar instrumentals. 

Industrial Love Scene is out now. You can check out more information on Great Highway, here.
