A rousing track from Cape Town rocker Tall Thief, “A Place I Know” swelters with a rising sound. A blast of guitars at the 50-second mark leads into a heightened vocal presence, letting out “heaven is a place I know,” amidst psych-friendly, textural guitar and bass. “I curl up every time we fight,” marks a captivating settling-down, showing a vulnerability that strikes well following the enjoyably raucous charisma. “A Place I Know” thoroughly captivates, showing a rock aesthetic that’s pure and convincing. I’m absolutely looking forward to what’s next from Tall Thief.
