TITE is back with a neat little follow up that takes the groundwork laid throughout 2021’s Looking For A Light and builds a veritable sonic skyscraper from it. A Higher Place might only be comprised of six tracks but it’s a bountiful blast of titanic textures that unequivocally solidifies Tombstones In Their Eyes’ place amongst the fuzzed out Alternative elite.
