The solo project of NOMO multi-instrumentalist Erik Hall, pop-folk band In Tall Buildings played a hometown show recently at Metro in Chicago. Its most recent album, the self-titled In Tall Buildings, was released early last year on Whistler Records, and features layers of of dreamy bedroom pop, folk-guitar fingerpicking, and plenty of harmonizing. Contributing photographer Mandy Dempsey captured these images of the band.

Contributing photographer David Sampson shot these photos at the recent NOMO show at Schubas. NOMO’s inventive Afro-jazz-rock sound spans so many styles and eras that it belies its contemporary Ann Arbor, MI origins. Meanwhile, opener In Tall Buildings (Chicago’s Erik Hall, also a member of NOMO) warmed the crowd up with his brand of stripped-down folk rock.
