New Music Wednesdays featuring High Places

New Music Wednesdays featuring High Places (This morning, checking the blog, I found out that this never posted on Wednesday. My Apologies.) I was introduced to this Brooklyn Duo by a friend maybe... 1 year ago after they released their "03/07-09/07" album. What struck me upon first listen was their unique lo-fi psychedelic sound where the lead female voice resonated from far away on the track. They would go from a very spaced-out melody to this primitive beat with bells, shakers, and sticks. Here is a video of them from 2007 to give you an idea: [...]

East Village Radio Festival - High Places

East Village Radio Festival - High Places High Places hail from Brooklyn and this was my third time seeing them. The band's sound is full of lovely contradictions. They write music that feels like summertime - and not that loud beach party sort of summertime, but more like a summer you've had and remember. To me, summer has always seemed distant - even in July. Only as I reach its conclusion do I realize how much has really happened. High Places grab onto that feeling and take it somewhere new. As Rob Barber tends childlike, tempests of burping and jingling percussion and

Quit Your Day Job: High Places

High Places - Shared Islands - Live @ The FADER Sideshow
Unless you were born with one of those silver spoons, you likely work a day job, sneaking time for your own business when not taking care of someone else's. You're not alone. Every week, Brandon Stosuy finds out how our favorite indie artists make ends meet... The Brooklyn duo and BTW High Places don't need too much of an introduction in these parts. Personally, I find myself listening to to their scattered, recently collected tracks quite a bit without getting tired of the dreamy, oddly tropical percussiveness. In fact, the songs keep getting better. [...]
