Former Brooklynites / current Angelenos Mary Pearson and Rob Barber, otherwise known as the band High Places, deliver their third album of danceable and dreamy electro pop, Original Colors. Recorded in Barber’s home studio, the duo mine a range of electronica and beat driven genres, including house, techno, garage and even lesser known reggae offshoots of dub and dancehall, resulting in a well crafted, artistically layered set of ten songs. While the mixes are complex, they remain accessible and airy, spacious and atmospheric. For a stunning sample from this captivating band, listen to closer “Altos Lugares”, which translated from Portuguese is “high places”. – Written by SMarx
