HI HO SILVER OH heads out in January in promotion of their second full-length album, Big Rocks. The band, made up of songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Casey Trela and rhythm section Jon Mackey and Kevin Manwarren, has fleshed out the bedroom acoustics of earlier recordings and honed their sound with a propulsive ruggedness. Over the course of Big Rocks, the band ebbs and flows with an uncanny fluidity from the caterwauling feedback of "High Tide I," to the shimmering pop of "Trees." From the anthemic bombast of "My Confessor" and sparkly gore of "Showers Without Warning" to the harrowing intimacy of "Belly Line."

Casey Trela's lyrics have never been so potent as they are on Big Rocks. Like a candid conversation with an old friend, Trela's words occupy an eerie space that manages to be both extremely personal and unexpectedly cosmic in the same breath. Even at the album's most mournful and introspective moments, the songs glimmer with a comforting playfulness, always anchored by the sheer power Trela wields as a vocal performer.

“Hi Ho Silver Oh is incredible live— I always leave their shows feeling empowered and full of love and hope. Frontman Casey Trela is mild-mannered and kind. Maybe in a previous life he was a folk singer, but in this life he can shred. His voice is haunting, and cracking with emotion at every lyric. You can actually watch him enjoy every single moment on stage through his half smile.”
