Some 7"s are thick these days aren't they? This High Places job comes on white 76g vinyl (I know, I weighed it), that's more than a house full of obese cats. I think these two are really good but they baffle me a bit too, it's just really hard music to describe I think.. The lead track is on the excellent album and it is called 'Vision's the First' which is three words. It sounds a bit like Laika forcing a steel drum and a glockenspiel to procreate inside a broken sequencer, at first they don't like it but after a while they realise it's a match made in heaven and eventually they ask a girl with a cute voice to watch them through the car window and sing for them because they like to do it to music even though they're making music themselves because they're musical instruments and it's in their nature to make music because that's what they were made for even though for the purposes of this simile they're living creatures and must have been born not made unless you believe in the concept of god as a divine creator. Yeah, this is well fit.

High Places are two in number. Mary Pearson and Rob Barber, both Brooklyn dwellers, create a unique and joyous union of world beat, dance music and underground pop.
High Places are all about exultation, positivity and light-headed charm. Sounding like the dreamy and sincere
vocalisations of K Records groups like Beat Happening and The Blow plunged into the tropical electronics of a more tender Black Dice.
Namer is limited to 1000 copies only on coloured vinyl for the world.
