High Places


From small speck of stardust to wondrously sentient
Revolving and spinning in space
Waking and sleeping and yielding to gravity
It starts to show on your face

Millions of forces of physics and providence
Teamed up and brought us all here
Waking and sleeping and yielding to gravity
Pointless to measure in years

Out in the desert your thoughts are as clear as the stars
You feel golden
You're billion year old carbon.

High Places - From Stardust to Sentience

This is High Places. And like their lyrics portray, they write beautiful spacey surf trance. High Places self-titled debut will be available September 23rd through Thrill Jockey. I was late in the game to discover them, missing their 03/07 - 09/07 comp, but now having seen them live and listening to what they have to offer, I have been captured by their eloquent spoken word lyrics ("You feel Golden") whispered over spacey electronic rhythms, that almost feel tribal.
