DT probes... High Places - an interview with Mary...
High Places are Mary Pearson and Rob Barber of Los Angeles. Their music is a collection of noises both familiar and unnatural - what stands out is the warmth within each carefully glitched melody or percussive interlude, understated but at once at the forefront of their tracks. High Places are set to release their second long player High Places vs. Mankind in the spring. As the title suggests,...

The latter featured an atmospheric cover of Streets of Philadelphia that you can listen to here....

His latest EP Cathedrals with No Eyes is an abrasive affair, akin to the Times New Viking headspace. It’s an enthralling record, with sudden, striking moments of pop realisation, amongst a myriad of hazy atmospherics. Currently...
