High Places – High Places (Thrill Jockey/Mistletone)
How pleasantly surprising then this self-titled album proper is. High Places does more than simply elaborating on ideas found in its predecessor; instead, the group extend their reach, bringing a more dance-oriented turn to their dizzy, fantastical cavern of sticks and stoners. (Ironically, too, the majority of its songs are more worthy singles than practically anything found on the singles-oriented release.)
