Tall Tales and the Silver Lining is an LA band centered on the songwriting and vision of Trevor Beld Jimenez. The band achieves a barefoot, breezy looseness with their music, and it makes sense that Jimenez has a love for the LA music scene of the 1970s. This comes through on Tightropes, the album released earlier this year, especially with Jimenez's clear, wandering voice. After years of Jimenez playing gigs with whoever showed up on a given night, his lineup has now solidified. Along with their albums, they've also released 4 EPs in a single year, one for each season.
