It’s been a year and a half since we caught up with Tall Grass via IG Live and since then, this group of four have spent the last year gigging around the city, cooking up an album, and are sculpting what started as Midwest Emo vibes into the highly-sought-after-but-difficult-to-pull-off Lawnmowercore. With an Instagram refresh and debut full-length album "Monarch Butterfly" dropping this...
