Ok, I am new and looking thorough here, and I am totally blown away.
High Places is not hyped, they tour constantly, and play a lot in NY when they are home. They only put our impossible to find 7" records, which only recently was put out by Thrill Jockey.They were local faves before pfork ever found them. AND.... If all these other highly aclaimed musicians/labels dig them, maybe there is something there. Plus they are the most humble and non-pompous people ever. They are basically little kids making pretty out there music, and working very hard at it.
Whether you like them or not, neither High Places or Fleet Foxes sound like AC. Ok so maybe there is delay, or unrecognizable sounds, which AC uses. HP is WAY more rhythm based, almost dance hall at times too. I don't know, backlash is inevitalble, but they don't deserve it IMHO.
