White Hills - H-p1 (2011)

Space rock is alive and well. Dark buzzing guitars, woozy, effects-drenched atmosphere, motorik drumming, chanted dead-eyed vox, some seriously caustic and crunchy FX. The guitar tones thick and super-distorted. The sound ominous and sinister. The roiling riffage infused with a pulsing droning thrum, all the elements are here in abundance. Add to the cosmic tone a theme of anti-government, anti corporation sentiment and what you've got is a classic of the genre.

I end up listening to lots of older music. It's great to hear something really new and badass. Great album.
