The High Water Marks formed in 2003 when Hilarie Sidney (The Apples in Stereo, Elephant 6-Co-Founder) and Per Ole Bratset (Palermo) met in Oslo after an Apples concert. The band has 4 official albums, Songs About the Ocean (2004) Polar (2007) Ecstasy Rhymes (2020) and Proclaimer of Things (2022) The High Water Marks are back after a long hiatus with two new albums in a little over one year! The latest album was released on the 4th of february, 2022 on Minty Fresh Records. It was recorded hot on the heels of Ecstasy Rhymes and have the same transatlantic lineup with Øystein Megård and Logan Miller The High Water Marks’ Proclaimer of Things is a 39 minute journey through pop hooks, orchestral mellotrons, and catchy riffs, sure to please listeners of indie rock, indie pop music, The High Water Mark’s fans, fans of the Apples in Stereo, and the Elephant 6 collective among others. This is the bands’ best effort yet, encompassing all of the elements that are associated with the first 3 albums, all the while building on that sound to take it to a new level. Perhaps living in one of the world’s happiest countries, maybe the fresh salty air streaming in from the North Sea, or the access to socialized medicine has had its effect on the band, but whatever it is has had a magical effect on the band and the result is encompassed on the inspired Proclaimer of Things.
