DecibelQueen Cool sound :) They have no bandcamp???
-
nemxy They actually have a song called Altos Lugares
-
bgk90 If describing their early sound could be translated into words it'd be called 'space-jungle'

damnkaede Banana slugs me lleva a la mierda <3

matt_white guys have you noticed that the name High Places could also mean being high off drugs as well as places that are high above the ground? pretty cool huh
-
Seroz0r banana slugs. <3 drug music [2]
-
eusheush I REALLY HATE THE LAST ALBUM! miss that hazy, dreamy fun sound that they had on their first two albums[4].

lambi1 wha? They're in London again? argh! Can't go this time.
-
mrmocha It's selfish, but yeah I could have dealt with three or four albums in the spirit of 03/07-09/07.
-
bgk90
Would it have been any better if they continued doing the same sound album after album?
-

roland_13 year off <3

mrmocha
Perhaps, but I wouldn't quit my day job if I were them.
-
itschinatown Or, they're making the music they want to make?

You don't get 2.3 million plays with 7 day charts like the one above. It's not evident... it's glaringly apparent these two fucked up.

strom-z "I really miss that hazy, dreamy fun sound that they had on their first two albums." [3] . in this case it's really totally evident that this was quite a notable band at first and not anymore

-
mythofsisyphus Original Colors rules. 03/07-09/07 rules. S/T is pretty good. High Places vs. Mankind is good. Deal with it.

arthurleeisfree Pitchfork is INSANELY powerful to making or breaking a band. Most other media sources just wait and copy Pitchfork's feed. I completely affects a band's abillity to tour, play festivals etc. Mr. Mocha, you agree with pitchfork, but as you can see on the comments here, they are not "right". Just one side of a coin that doesn't want to see this band try new things, and experiment, and honestly, I feel that this record is MASSIVELY improvement on the last.
-
glogi I think P4K hasn't got that power anymore. It's so easy now to predict their judgements that it starts to ve boring. I think they should refresh the crew to be worth reading again. That's my opinion
-
pushoversunite new album is great to me haha
-
mrmocha
I don't think P4K is always right... they're just right on this one.
-
arthurleeisfree
granted a lot of people like it too. I hope these guys focus on that and keep perfecting what they do. Pitchfork really needs to have less power. It is a complete monopoly, and it shocks me how many blogs just copy them. You wold think you would want to separate themselves form pitchfork rather than just seem like a pale copy.
-
arthurleeisfree
i like how polarizing they seem to be, but it must feel tragic for them. It is definitely their strongest record IMO, and yes different, but not really if you really listen, All the elements are there. I wish more people writing realized how this sort of quick listen judgement writing can hurt a band. It must feel horrible to work so hard and just get totally trashed.
-
mrmocha
changing =/= improvement
-
glogi
Pitchfork sucks, they can't realise that music is changing. it's sad

"High Places-- the ethereal, almost cherubic vocals and the clattering racket in, around, and behind them-- is lacking here, along with much of their clubhousey sense of adventure. For a group who traded so well in whimsy, who got off to such a kaleidoscopic start, Original Colors can feel unusually drab." <-this
-
yamigossan i really miss the old high places they sound like a completely different band now
-
Picachi vote please : )
-
EclipLeou First time I pushed play to the new album thought it was tagged wrong.
