[size= 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #333333; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap]From the corner of 41st Avenue and Main Street in Flushing, Queens, comes Uppertiers: the home recording project of mercurial mastermind Joe Sidney.[/size]





[size= 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #333333; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap]Formed in 2007, Uppertiers has been Sidney’s longtime songwriting vehicle. On “High in Friends Places” - the group’s first release since 2015 - Sidney radically reinvented their sound. Eschewing their standard garage band instrumentation, Sidney opted instead to utilize low-grade keyboards, a madcap approach to sampling, and his trusty digital eight-track recorder. The result is chaotic, electronic collage-punk: imported Casio beats, riffs and beats stolen from Uppertiers’ own back catalog, and an absolute unwillingness to cede ground to any one style or genre.[/size]





[size= 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #333333; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap]Joe Sidney’s stubborn insistence on total DIY freedom (he’s still never stepped foot in a recording studio) allows for a singular, idiosyncratic vision to shine through. The primitive drum machine punk of “Report to the Floor” and “Shopping Song” betray a heavy influence from Le Tigre, while “Crazy Talk” and “Digame” are some kind of bit-crushed dancehall.[/size]





[size= 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #333333; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap]Careening through nine tracks in 25 minutes, “Friends in High Places” is as sui generis as punk gets. It's out on streaming on November 5th, 2021, with a short run of cassettes to follow.[/size]
