It still doesn’t feel quite right to think of High Places as an L.A. band, but Mary Pearson and Rob Barber have left behind the chilly Brooklyn winter to set up in California. "Here, you can see a hill and walk to the top of it,” says Barber, confirming the band’s literal penchant for high places.

No new material from the band has surfaced since they made the cross-country trek, but High Places has offered some subtly rerecorded work for a Daytrotter session. Four songs from last year’s High Places album on Thrill Jockey are featured, beginning with a stripped down version of penultimate track “A Field Guide.”

Pearson and Barber took their pastoral electronica to Australia and New Zealand earlier this year, and have posted plenty of enviable pictures from the trip on their blog . The Daytrotter session, which also includes “Namer,” “From Stardust to Sentience,” and “Vision’s the First” can be streamed and/or downloaded at Daytrotter’s website .
