Los Angeles experimental lo-fi drum-and-guitar duo No Age are Dean Spunt and Randy Randall, ex-members of hardcore band Wives. Through assorted indie labels, No Age released limited runs of vinyl-only EPs before collecting many of those tracks for the singles collection Weirdo Rippers, issued by U.K. label FatCat in summer 2007. The record's cover pays respect to the Smell, a venue/art space they felt was partially responsible for the livelihood of both No Age and Wives. The duo is also known for its videos, performance art, and visual art, as well as curating an exhibition that included works by Devendra Banhart and others. The band moved to Sub Pop for its full-fledged debut album Nouns, which appeared in spring 2008.

And it turns out that group, Brooklyn duo High Places, is really, really good. It's a little like Atlas Sound looking in a musical mirror (check the shimmery first minute of "Shared Islands," the darker final minutes of "Cosmonaut"), but it's far from solely a reflection of Atlas's aesthetic. There's something more playful/less dire at heart, carefree melodies with a concerted infusion of pan-global sounds and percussive tics, from Polynesian, polyrhythmic steel drum sounds to laptop-enhanced tribal grooves.
