High Places

Insound Staff Pick - 2008! This is High Places' debut full-length following a series of sold out 7-inch singles and the 03/07 - 09/07 CD which compiled said singles and all the band's early material. Their signature sound comes from bass-heavy, yet crisp beats, lilting vocal melodies, syncopated rhythmic lines performed on folk percussion instruments, guitar duets turned into treated samples, and percussive lines created from the manipulation of household objects. The CDs are presented in old-style tip-on gatefold jackets.
