To absent friends...
The waves have been braved.
On the other side?
Sizzlin’ summer-time affirmation anthems that f͟u͟c͟k͟.
After spending Spring 2019 in Europe as a touring musician with Moon King, Crying High toured Europe and the UK. After returning to North America, Crying High embarked on a west coast tour with Californian situational art haus group Dingbat Superminx. The tour finished in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in late 2019. Plans to leave Victoria for a 2020 European tour were halted when covid hit, and Kleiser remained on Vancouver Island and began to record Victory.
Victory is songs of triumph.
It Features collaborations with Bridal Party, Nature Walk and Bright Boy.
It is an homage to nourishing time spent in the island city of Victoria while braving the circumstance of being conscious light trapped inside of matter, witnessing history in the earth summer of 2020.
