Born from a lifelong admiration, High Above The Ground is the stunning debut collaboration between drummer José Medeles and legendary guitarist Marc Ribot, known for his iconic work alongside Tom Waits and Elvis Costello. Recorded in a single marathon session and produced by Tucker Martine, the album captures two deeply intuitive musicians communicating on what can only be described as a psychic level — the result is breathtaking.
What makes High Above The Ground so captivating is its remarkable dynamism, swinging between raw grooves and deeply spiritual moments with effortless ease. The album's epic closing track "Drift" stands as a particular highlight, a 10-and-a-half-minute journey that moves from dark, atmospheric blues into something truly transcendent. This is a record that feels alive — two master musicians pushing each other to places neither wanted to leave.
