RCRD LBL

High Places, the duo of Mary Pearson and Rob Barber, clearly values evolution over churning out the same product over and over. The onetime New York (now L.A.-based) duo used to be all about naturalism, mixing little swathes of samples, tribal drums and Pearson's flighty vocals. Those elements are still there, but it seems like the result is way more attuned to late nights on a dance floor and European sounds.
