Dit duo uit Brooklyn NY (nu verhuisd naar Los Angeles) heeft een opmerkelijke derde plaat gemaakt. Opmerkelijk omdat Original Colors veel toegankelijker is dan eerder werk. De multi-instrumentalist Rob Barber en zangeres Mary Pearson knutselden thuis in 2008 met complexe experimentele ritmes, rare geluiden en potten en pannen hun titelloze debuut in elkaar. Het resultaat was luchtig, speels en een beetje wereldvreemd. High Places leek gedoemd voor altijd in de marge te blijven. Twee avontuurlijke muzikanten met een kunstachtergrond en een berg electronica en microfoons, zoals er zoveel zijn, maar wel talentvol genoeg om door het gerenommeerde Thrill [...]

"I'm looking for something that'll...break through. You know?" James Woods' Max Renn yearns in David Cronenberg's 1983 cult classic Videodrome . Oh, how things have changed. In today's day and age, we've drowned in media. It's swallowed us. We're nothing but a bubble amidst one infinite, engulfing abyss. Intimidated? You should be. With each passing second, you're losing opportunities to take advantage of a culture that's moving ahead and at an exhausting rate. You could very well be alone...left behind...abandoned. Terrified yet? Yes? Well, that's more like it. -Michael Roffman President/Editor-in-Chief

The action packed, cringe-worthy nature of High Places' new music video is by no means a reflection of the band's music. With layering effects, lo-fi vocals, and an overall XX/Beach House-esque sound, the Brooklyn-based duo produces beat-heavy tunes you'd expect to hear at some underground dance club. Instead, Rob Barber and Mary Pearson chose a gruesomely violent and sand-drenched stage for their mellow song "Sonora." Bloodied and desperate, Pearson's character ignores the sickening growth in her forearm and seeks revenge on a madman, as her distant, melodic vocals float in the background. The desolate terrain of the video might be [...]
Let's face it; summer is over. Everyone is wrapping up with extra layers, cranking up the dials of their thermostats and engaging in personal races against daylight to get home before darkness arrives. The changing of season seems decidedly appropriate for the release of the third album by High Places. There is a chill in the air and it goes by the name of Original Colors. Spawning from the duo's home studio in Los Angeles, Original Colors creates an alluringly cold environment that slowly reels it's audience further into the [...]

High Places : Sonora - Video
High Places - Sonora from Thrill Jockey Records on Vimeo . Music videos are not only an audio treat, they also provide us with a visual, a window into the soul of the musician's song. Many emotions and ideas go through our heads while watching them. At Earbuddy, we like to express those thoughts through the Japanese form of poetry known as Haiku , three phrases of five syllables, seven syllables, and five syllables.

Hey, no new Beyoncé video this week! Actually, this week's list is pretty much entirely comprised of inventively low-budget indie rock videos (or, in a couple of cases, indie-dance videos that might as well be indie rock). They've got plots and costumes and ideas , and at least a couple of them were probably released right around Halloween on purpose. Each of them is essentially as good as all the others, so ranking them wasn't easy, and there were a few - Mister Heavenly, for instance - that are practically as good but still couldn't squeak into the list.
