High Places Tickets

High Places is an experimental indie pop duo formed in Brooklyn by vocalist Mary Pearson and multi-instrumentalist Rob Barber. Known for heavy rhythm, lo-fi production, and distinctive bassoon textures, the duo has built a sound that blends tactile warmth with adventurous experimentation. After relocating to Los Angeles, Pearson and Barber continued to push their sonic boundaries across intimate and prestigious venues, earning a dedicated following in the indie scene.

On record, High Places has released a series of critically recognized albums on Thrill Jockey, including their self-titled debut, the collaborative and atmospheric High Places vs. Mankind, and the later release Original Colors, which showcase their knack for sculpting looping rhythms and ethereal melodies around unconventional instrumentation. The project has also contributed to the 2008 compilation 03/07-09/07, expanding their reach within the indie community.

Notably, Pitchfork highlighted From Stardust to Sentience from their debut as one of the Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s, ranking it at 417, cementing their place in the era’s indie canon. High Places has performed at landmark venues such as the Guggenheim, Whitney Museum, New Museum, and The Kitchen, and they've toured with acts including Toro Y Moi, Deerhunter, Liars, No Age, Dan Deacon, and Xiu Xiu. Though 2025 hasn’t brought public tour dates, the duo’s past touring periods—from 2009 to 2011—represent a time of vibrant live experimentation that fans still celebrate today.
