MIST021 HIGH PLACES |
High Places’ self-titled debut was recorded by Rob and Mary in their apartment in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood in 2008. They employed a wide variety of instruments to make this album ranging from the more traditional: 12 string guitar, banjo, shakers and rattles, bass, bells and Kalimba, to the inventive: plastic bags, mixing bowls, wood blocks and other common household objects. The album has a contemplative and organic lyrical tone emphasized by the themes of goodness manifested in nature, hardship and wonder as necessities to human existence and growth.
“Part of a second wave of freak folkers emerging from the American underground… (High Places) arrive at a nutty playfulness that isn’t scared to incorporate electronics alongside folk instrumentation, or to infuse shamanistic hoedowns with potent lines of melody.” MAIL ORDER SPECIAL $7.50 + FREE POSTAGE WITHIN AUSTRALIA! * please email us for postage rates outside australia * |
