] 专辑介绍：
>*w(YB]/$V UJX5}36 Since their inception, High Places have created a signature
{7Ez7'SVV sound out of using bass-heavy yet crisp beats, lilting vocal
!]f:dWSLB melodies and syncopated rhythmic lines performed on folk
[aC2ktI percussion instruments, guitar duets turned into treated
! I mtnU} samples, and percussive lines created from the manipulation of
`Oi6o[a household objects. The songwriting is expansive and fluid, all
n@e|PWu the while managing to be concise. High Places gravitate toward
a6 7N WH the organic over the electronic, and that natural aesthetic
Xo4K!U>TzZ adds warmth and intimacy to the recordings.

&_6B{Q instruments to make this album, ranging from the more
"6'# L, traditional: 12 string guitar, banjo, shakers and rattles,
U}`HN*Q.q bass, bells and Kalimba; to the inventive: plastic bags,

8>^O]5Wo`X hardship and wonder as necessities to human existence and
I'uRXvEr7 growth. Additionally, the idea of maturation and development
