Smart Brooklyn duo High Places have shaken hands with Thrill Jockey with whom they plan to a release a brand new debut album this year.
The latter is self-titled titled and an arrival date of September 23rd has been confirmed by Thrill Jockey. The release follows last year’s fine singles compilation 03/07 - 09/07, which will be re-issued by Thrill Jockey in July.
A single, entitled ‘Vision’s the First’, comes out through Upset! The Rhythm on the 26th of May, before these live shows, some of which are with Deerhunter, one of which is with Telepathe:
