An absolute essential album and it is certainly one of my favourite albums of the last 15 years or so. Let’s just see if it can maintain its favoured position for the remaining 87 years, which by when albums will most likely be tattooed on the back of a lab rat, and you listen with your sense of smell. This album will still smell great, I promise you. By Brett Savage
And so the countdown begins... The sixth annual record store day is upon us with the blog set to feature all sorts of RSD13-special interviews and segments in the coming five days. I thought it best to take an extract from a recent G-Man interview with guitarist Dave W. from U.S. spacerockers White Hills to open the week long special. "It's like when you look at the demise of massive music chains. Virgin's gone, we had Tower Records here [in [...]

It's been years since the last time we listened to any White Hills. They don't have the restless experimentalism of Pharoah Overlord, the robotic whimsy of Morkobot, or the acidic textures of Seven That Spells, but they never disappoint and sometimes excel. This is one of those moments, the closing track to their 2007 album Heads on Fire . Four minutes of instrumental rock rushing to a sudden climax. Unreconstructed adrenaline for your ears. White Hills - Eternity (alternate download) [...]
Our selection today comes from indie-poppers Ace Reporter and their video for Untouched and Arrived featuring the exaggerated reality and dreams of a young boy.

Lastly enjoy New York based psychedelic spacerock band White Hills' video for their track Left Behind , which originally featured on their tour only release Abstractions & Mutations in [...]

For this spotlight we chatted with John Pastore and Dave Sweetapple of Outer Battery Records, a New York and Vermont based label home to releases by Dinosaur Jr., Heavy Blanket, Sweet Apple, White Hills, The Obsessed and more. 2012 saw the label debut from these childhood friends and seasoned music ...
Wow. This was painful. I tried to describe as many of these as I could without resorting to copy/paste from record labels, 'zines or blogs, but eventually we all start to fatigue. Sure, it'd be nice to look all respectable with one-hundred totally unique and informative descriptions of these albums, but I don't have that kind of [...]
Hi there, fellow deep-lobed music lovers. 2012 was a fantastic year for music and obviously so, as I could only narrow down my personal Best of List to a hearty 30 releases over 3 separate installments. I didn't even include any reissues (like CAN's The Lost Tapes or Sensations' Fix's Music I s Painting in the Air ) or any 73 releases. Although I did cheat a little and add a cassette single because I found it to be really special. You'll see as you [...]
Yes, that's right dear reader: such was the overwhelming amount of top music this year we've given our end-of-year list a dose of max enlargement pills and extended it to a mighty top twenty. Those that didn't make this engorged run-down and hence reside in our honourable bubbling under category include: Swans – The Seer ; Toy – Toy ; Monolake - Ghosts ; White Manna - White Manna ; Easter - Innocence Man ; Bass Clef - Reeling Skullways ; Umberto - Night Has A Thousand Screams ; The Eccentronic [...]

White Hills will be bringing their epic space rock to Strange Matter on Sept. 8 with Odonis Odonis . The Los Angeles Times called White Hills, "A darkly hypnotic mix of churning guitar, distant vocals and swirling synth drones, this record conjures a riff-heavy psychedelic vibe that picks up where the Velvet Underground and Spacemen 3 left off." White Hills will be playing the Hopscotch festival, as well as Thrill Jockey's 20th Anniversary celebrations in Brooklyn.
Dan Friel (ex- Parts & Labor ) knows a thing or two about manipulating sound. Friel 's first release on the venerable Thrill Jockey label is evidence of that. The Valedictorian/Exoskeleton EP is presently scheduled for release on October 16th. It features two brand new songs as well as remixes from Moss of Aura and Peaking Lights . This here is track number one. Listen. Downloadable: Valedictorian (mp3) You will be able to preorder the Valedictorian/Exoskeleton EP at some point in [...]
Gentleman, we present this contingency not as an act of aggression, but as a plan for defense. Our historical relationship with the Empire of Great Britain has been a contentious one to say the least. The United States of America was born out of revolutionary struggle with The Red Empire. We have fought two wars [...]
Paulo Cecílio Ainda ontem se falou neles por causa dos Gnod.
