We are sooo excited and honestly a bit anxious to share "MOST HIGH" with you! Here's a little backstory:
My brother (and long-time TBLSH manager) Alex passed away in my arms on the shore of Lake Travis by our studio. As crazy as it sounds, it was a surprisingly beautiful moment. I witnessed the sky opening by way of some monolithic, benevolent, divine force. I was filled with sublime peace and ecstatic joy. Total life affirmed in death. For me, the song tries to describe that feeling, humbled and ecstatic in the presence of staggering love, somewhere between a supernatural sojourn and a religious service. Breezy, communal, joyful in the face of loss. A reminder that all endings are new beginnings and that the possibilities are truly limitless.
We hope you enjoy and may it bring you some joy and healing. Get the MOST HIGH with yr bad self!
I know we're throwing y'all a lot, so here's a quick checklist for any devout Bright Lighter:

We really could not be more elated to be sharing all of this with you! In 2019 we did a tour we didn’t realize would be our last. At least for TBLSH as we knew it. Emergency Leisure is a fictional autobiography from this period, centered on a seminal, hedonistic night at Bar L’Escogriffe in Montreal - our own Tropic of Cancer of sorts. “Not New” kicks off the odyssey, a new beginning in our Fool’s Journey as we rise from the ashes once again.
The "Not New" video was directed by yours truly, with Mexican cinematographer-extraordinaire Oswaldo Florez. The song was recorded, mixed and mastered by our own Curtis Roush aka the Pope of Dope. Please do us the greatest favor- add it to your playlist and share with a friend!!
See you this fall, or sooner! All the love in the universe!!
Jackie O + TBLSH
