Album Review
Along with moving from Brooklyn to Los Angeles after the release of their self-titled 2008 record, the duo of Mary Pearson and Rob Barber made some pretty drastic alterations to their sound. The early recordings and their album were built around hypnotic loops made from percussion instruments, found sound, and household items that were warped into non-recognizable sounds. It made for a childlike and quite often magical sound that was made even better by Pearson’s guileless vocals. High Places vs. Mankind is still built on loops and odd sounds, but the textures are sparser and the instruments are more traditional-sounding. The drums usually sound like drums, there are keyboards, and most importantly, they introduce guitars into the mix. It makes for a more identifiably "indie rock" listening experience.
Customer Reviews
Bravo
Awesome as usual, do yourself a FLAVOR and just buy it...yes a FLAVOR
uh.
beautiful. but the itunes reveiw is of their self titled debut. not this album. oops.
Love this album!
High Places create genius music. Genius, unfettered music The glitch beats are truly 'gasmic. This album is alot darker and quieter as a whole, which I think is a good change from the first album. And wow..Constant Winter.. is really reallllllllllly good. Like the namesake suggests, perfect with chemicals. Mind-altering chemicals. Lots of 'em.
So. Yeah. Enjoy!
