High Places channels the spirit of school bus sing-a-longs, back country camping trips, and first prize science fair projects, while conjuring dreams of faraway places through the use of field recordings, contact mics on houshold items, wind instruments and electronic thingamabobs. The sound, in particular the sing-songy female vocals and musical tone of a number of 03/07 - 09/07 tracks is reminscent of early era His Name Is Alive.

im still not too into it, but that description is fitting. This brings back school-bus singalongs and first prize science fairs because those things werent really that great. i mean, they were ok. i wasnt angry about them, but i didnt run home to tell mom about them everyday.

I think this band has much potential beyond the small amount they've released. They just have that sound to 'em. I can't wait for more. Sandy Feat ftw!

if someone with Jens Lekman on avatar praises them, it means they are very worth checking out, right? :3
