Editor's note

As Tall As Lions, a band of quiet intensity

A New York group whose songs balanced folk intimacy with expansive arrangements.

For a good frame, try 'Deep Sleeper' or 'In Case Of Rapture.' They're both quiet, but they don't fade.

Their music holds up because it never shouts. Songs like 'Deep Sleeper' and 'Be Here Now' work with melody and personal reflection instead of big gestures. That emotional directness kept finding listeners even after the 2017 festival controversy, when they had to publicly distance themselves from a far-right event.

They formed in 2005 around singer Johannes St. John III, releasing their self-titled debut the next year. The albums followed, 'Lafayette' in 2008, 'You Can't Take It With You' in 2011, 'Like A Thief' in 2014, with a shifting lineup that included musicians like Neal Morgan and Ryan McAllister.

Archive material and source history

As Tall As Lions formed in 2005 around singer-songwriter Johannes "John" St. John III. Their self-titled debut album arrived the following year, establishing a sound that balanced folk intimacy with more expansive arrangements. Over time, the group's lineup included musicians like bassist Neal Morgan, keyboardist Ryan McAllister, drummer Rob Harcourt, and guitarist Evan Patterson.

They released albums like "Lafayette" in 2008, "You Can't Take It With You" in 2011, and "Like A Thief" in 2014. Songs such as "Be Here Now," "Deep Sleeper," and "Breakers" showcase their approach to melody and lyrical themes often centered on personal reflection.

In 2017, the band faced public criticism after being booked for a festival organized by a far-right group. They issued a statement distancing themselves from the event and condemning hate speech. Their music continued to find listeners drawn to its emotional directness and crafted songwriting.
