#5o(h+w) QD]6C2j* Since their inception, High Places have created a signature
]Gq !`O1 sound out of using bass-heavy yet crisp beats, lilting vocal
'YSHi\z ]( melodies and syncopated rhythmic lines performed on folk
z9Rp`z&`E percussion instruments, guitar duets turned into treated
3eQ&F ~S samples, and percussive lines created from the manipulation of
YNsJZnGr8# household objects. The songwriting is expansive and fluid, all
$kp{Eg ' the while managing to be concise. High Places gravitate toward
hZt!/?dc the organic over the electronic, and that natural aesthetic
kc`Tdn adds warmth and intimacy to the recordings.

d5:c^` instruments to make this album, ranging from the more
j*r{2f4Rt traditional: 12 string guitar, banjo, shakers and rattles,
m^;f(IK5 bass, bells and Kalimba; to the inventive: plastic bags,
Q*ft7$l& mixing bowls, wood blocks and other common household objects.
}b.%Im<3R The album has a contemplative and organic lyrical tone
'E""amIJ emphasized by the themes of goodness manifested in nature,

Wdbed U~`Q growth. Additionally, the idea of maturation and development
