Minneapolis indie-rockers Calvin Heights are no more. The announcement came Monday, December 3 in a post to social media.
In the post, frontman Brett Carey said, "Jordan (Wipf) and I thank you all for listening and supporting what we've done and we hope to see you in the future with something else. But as for now, our lives [are] changing and we desire to change with it."
Calvin Heights released their debut record titled Self Untitled in May of 2014. It featured a more indie rock/indie folk-influenced sound.
Over the next four years and four releases, the band's sound (and line up) expanded and changed as elements of noise and experimental music made its way to the forefront.
The 2017 EP "The Possession of the Deer's Feet" marked a definite shift in Calvin Heights sound.
What is meant to be a prologue to their third full-length Worst Calligraphy, the EP confused and intrigued fans of the band with its chaotic and often cryptic songs. Worst Calligraphy was raw, dynamic and emotional. The record began as an EP but turned into an album as Carey found it difficult to stop writing. This album was also the first release that Carey enlisted the help of childhood friend and drummer Jordan Wipf.
Their final release Talented Sun was the first release that Wipf was involved from the beginning. Ear Coffee described the record as a grown-up version of Worst Calligraphy. The album, in our opinion, was one of the best releases from the band, and one of the best Minnesota releases this year.
Carey began creating music under a solo project called The Foreigntry. He released The Dennis Album on September 29 and released a follow-up record titled 11 20 last month.
