Product Description The 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. Both CD and LP are presented in old-style tip-on gatefold jackets. LP contains a coupon for free MP3 download and the first 1,000 copies are pressed on gray vinyl. Similarly Requested CDs

CD Reviews....... brilliant. Marvin Carey | Orem, Ut | 09/30/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Perhaps the most beautiful piece I've played this much since Panda Bear's "Person Pitch", Brooklyn's High Places' debut is a soft spoken, ambient, optimistic, miracle of an album. Full of layered sound-scapes and child-like innocence (best suited for headphones or ear-buds), the duo have a aesthetic essence about them; in fact, it wouldn't be too far off to categorize the music as "other/spiritual". On the self titled full-length, the band further exposes their unique brand of eclectic brilliance. Tracks like "Gold Coin" and "Vision's The First..." are upbeat and light, while beautiful sleepers like "From Stardust To Sentence", "Papaya Year", and "Golden" are down right intoxicating (in a good way). All together the album is in awesome standing; boasting only 10 tracks. Once you've listened to the last one, you'll be ready to hear the first one again....... and again....... and yeah, even again." One of the best of 2008 SDK | 09/30/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "High Places recorded this entire album at home. The quality, warmth and integrity that went into this gem exceeded all my exceptions track after track. There's something to be said about a band that can create a such a new sound, a new new voice for the scene. It's not just the originality but the honestness and sense of self that lets this duo shine. High Places gets better the more you listen to it."
