White Hills are back with another step into in a new area of
psychedelia. While they have built their career up early on based as a high
energy guitar driven space rock band, the last 3 records have really shown a
growth in musical experimentation like never before. I have to say straight up that if you are not
into a sort of more old school Cabaret Voltaire electro 80s vibe, then this
album is probably gong to disappoint you. There is still a decent amount of
guitar on many of the tracks but nearly all the drums are programmed (from what
I can tell and no one is credited with drums). Some of this stuff is very psychedelic
and has a strong political message and is clearly an album to make people think
a bit, much like the last one. I got pretty tripped out on the
record.. I wonder how they will put this
together live on the upcoming Europe tour??? A much more visual experience, I expect. Check out the great videos work Ego has done for the track below.. Attack mode reminds me of Ministry! Enjoy....
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
