5@" bx= e!URj\* Since their inception, High Places have created a signature
I1=YSi;A sound out of using bass-heavy yet crisp beats, lilting vocal
@I2m4Q{O melodies and syncopated rhythmic lines performed on folk
W@GcE;#- percussion instruments, guitar duets turned into treated
41>Bm*if samples, and percussive lines created from the manipulation of
y4$UPLm household objects. The songwriting is expansive and fluid, all
Fl>v9%A the while managing to be concise. High Places gravitate toward
,miU'<8tQ| the organic over the electronic, and that natural aesthetic
}UMg ph:2: adds warmth and intimacy to the recordings.
lSC3m=4g T D].*9 High Places' self-titled debut was recorded by the band's Rob
Kg=TPNf"$ Barber and Mary Pearson in their apartment in Brooklyn's Fort
90|p]I% Greene neighborhood. They employed a wide variety of
AT}}RE@vq instruments to make this album, ranging from the more
=xQ7:TB traditional: 12 string guitar, banjo, shakers and rattles,
VQU [5C bass, bells and Kalimba; to the inventive: plastic bags,
OYzt>hdH mixing bowls, wood blocks and other common household objects.
vD D !.i The album has a contemplative and organic lyrical tone
[&|
Le;h emphasized by the themes of goodness manifested in nature,
yT`[9u, hardship and wonder as necessities to human existence and
`Gx"3ZUn growth. Additionally, the idea of maturation and development
.{k(4_Q?I is further accented through the recurring mention of trees and
VH4P|w[YF their extending, enveloping braches.
