{"product_id":"winston-hightower-winston-hytwr","title":"Winston Hightower - Winston Hytwr","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in Columbus, Ohio in March 1993, Winston Hightower is a prolific home recording artist with an expansive discography that crawls across space and genre. A staple in the Midwestern punk\/DIY scene, his first work under the eponymous moniker was a self-released tape in January 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, he has put out over 100 songs on tape, online and on video. The music defies easy categorization, and instead breezes through a landscape of synths that effortlessly blend pop, rock, rap and jazz. In doing so, Hightower continues to build a cohesive, ever-morphing experiment in pushing the boundaries of underground guitar music, all with his signature wit and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis body of work is almost entirely written and recorded alone in his room, causing many to refer to him as 'the Black R Stevie Moore,' a fitting epithet as his influences likewise include modern \"lo-fi\" progenitors such as Guided by Voices and Vivian Girls. Hightower has released much of his own work and more on his tape label, the FAH-Q Catalog, which boasts over 12 releases (http:\/\/www. Thefahqcatalog. com\/) He has also collaborated with numerous other Ohio legends such as members of Times New Viking, Slant 6, and Ron House.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth mysterious and effervescent, Winston shape shifts into roles that have also included pro skater (UNITY, Adidas) and touring hardcore guitarist\/bassist (most recently with the groups Minority Threat and Twompsax). With such an extensive pedigree, and having toured ceaselessly since he was a teenager, it's shocking that Winston Hightower is largely unknown outside of the Midwest. K records is thus thrilled to be putting out his first ever record, \"Winston Hytwr\" [KLP292\/PRNL50] which will cull songs from his previous and impossible to find releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemixed by Capt.
