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. This duo […]

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 : Stop Mute Defeat

New York’s White Hills have been pushing their music forward with every album they’ve released since the mid-2000s. A mix of psych, post-punk, space rock, art rock, and pretty much anything forward-thinking that’s come out over the last 50 years, White Hills’ Dave W. and Ego Sensastion want to move you and your mind to […]

Wanderlust(and drywall dust)

Hello friends. Man, what a long week it’s been here in the hundred acre wood. Have you ever had that experience of going on a week-long holiday only to return to your place of employment and find out there’s pretty much the entire previous week’s worth of work waiting for you? Well, if not I […]

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. […]

jhubner73 presents: My favorite albums of 2013

It’s that time of year again where I put on my thinking cap, revisit many albums I’ve bought and listened to over the year, and figure out which ones I loved the most. This is always so hard as I know there are records I haven’t had a chance to listen to enough or didn’t […]

Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th. I can’t report any bad luck for today. I mean, no more than I normally deal with anyways. It was actually a rather pleasant Friday the 13th. The weather finally broke and it was a beautiful cool day. A fall day. Upper 60s for a high. It’ll get down to […]

White Hills-So You Are…So You’ll Be

White Hills are one of those bands that are pretty much fearless. They’ve run the gamut on their records over the years from Sabbath gut busters to spaced-out Hawkwind to Tangerine Dream-esque ambient interludes. And the crazy thing is that they can pull them all off quite well. Their 2010 double album H-p1 seems to […]

New Music For A New Saturday

What do I see sitting on my front porch? Well it’s a Saturday surprise from one of my favorite record labels Thrill Jockey. White Hill’s So You Are…So You’ll Be showed up 10 days early! Joy!! While I haven’t listened to the bonus 12″ E.P. yet, I can say without a doubt that Dave W […]
