Do not adjust your computers: High Places' video for "Altos Lugares" is all slow-mo video effects where the group disappears and reappears at random, and your Internet speed is probably just fine. But the thing you should adjust is your expectations for High Places' new album Original Colors: High Places are going full-on Knife here, making icy synths sound like collapsing icebergs. But of course the obvious Knife influence only goes so far as Mary Pierson's chilled-out vocals. But High Places are cleary ramping up the electronica and dance beats, and that's for the better.
Original Colors is due out Oct. 11.
