White Hills : Beyond This Fiction

At this point the New York psych rock duo White Hills have become an institution. Muti-instrumentalists Dave W and Ego Sensation have for the better part of 20 years now been consistently writing, recording, and releasing rock and roll records that bring everything from psych, noise, industrial, garage, and Krautrock into their sound.

White Hills Return With ‘Beyond This Fiction’, Out 8/23; Listen To “Killing Crimson”

NYCs White Hills are one of those bands that never settles into one musical trip. Sure, their DNA is psych rock with a healthy dose of post/punk, Krautrock, and no wave thrown in for good measure. But the duo, led by guitarist/vocalist Dave W and bassist/vocalist Ego Sensation, are pulling from 50 years of an […]

White Hills : The Revenge Of Heads On Fire

White Hills are the quintessential New York rock band. They’re loud, gritty, can wear a pair of leather pants like nobody’s business, and paint musical visions of stark cityscapes and shadowy worlds that only make their presence known when the sun dies over the lower east side. Dave W and Ego Sensation are the minds […]

White Hills Find A New Groove : A Talk with Dave W and Ego Sensation

If you’re a fan of New York City’s White Hills, then you know they’re not a band to rest on their laurels. With each album they seem to take their fuzzed-out space rock to another, much higher plateau. Whether it be creating ambient drone tracks to sit in-between their gothic Sabbath crunch rockers, or taking […]

“Return of Speed Toilet”

I’m not really sure what the hell I did, but I’m sore today. Like I rolled down a hill or something…for 10 minutes straight. My left shoulder has been sore for a week now. It’s not a “pain” per say. It’s more like this dull ache, as if some muscle or tendon became shorter somehow. […]

It’s All About A Feeling: A Conversation with White Hills’ Dave W

I can remember it rather clearly. I was perusing my favorite blogs back in March -when we were all still aglow from My Bloody Valentine’s triumphant return after two decades of knob turning and hand wringing- when I came across an article on 1537 about a band called White Hills. Mr. 1537 couldn’t have been […]
