Soundtracks: High Places by, um, High Places
Brooklyn-based cutie-pie duo High Places are kinda like the sonic equivalent of candy-coated happy pills (probably Starburst-flavored). The last time I saw them was at SXSW, after a very very long day of drinking many Lone Stars and spending like 9 hours at the Todd P showcase, which left me desperately longing to either take a nap on the street or hitchhike back to L.A. just to be in my own bed. But High Places made everything all better, as though I'd miraculously escaped beery Austin and stumbled into some secret dance party in the midst of a magical jungle where everyone's banging on toy instruments and pogoing around whilst slurping on mangos.
If you ever want to host of a secret magic-jungle dance party of your own, you must make High Places' new self-titled album the soundtrack. The record comes out today and I want very much to share my favorite track ("Gold Coin") with you lovelies, but instead I'm going to respect the record company's wishes and offer you the equally stellar "Visions the First" mp3 instead. So I'll guess you'll have to get thee to iTunes and hear "Gold Coin" on your own. Get it now! The magic jungle awaits.
