White Hills
and the folks from Der Blutharsch and the Infinite church of the leading Hand
have a new collaboration out. It is a 5 track EP, a bit over 20 mins long. I
guess this is out on vinyl at some point as well but right now, it appears in a
black slipsleeve with virtually no information, so I will just have to describe
the music for you.
Nom de guerre starts with a heavy bass line and some
programmed drums, guitar (Dave??) before the dreamy vocals slowly enter
in. Very 80s sounding. Is it Ego or
?? Some interesting synths are thrown
into the mix and it gets quite psychedelic around 3mins in. Await the moon has
a very different sound production and features the female singer from Der
Blutharcsh. Some cool spacey guitar on this track as this one is more floating
and features real (?) drums. Mixed a bit far back are some pretty cool synths. Desire
features a more accessible beat and rhythm to go with the programmed drums.
Could be Ego on bass. Very 80s synth pop like vocals. Trippy ending to this track. Sfg starts with a
very cool synth line that slowly fades up as the low end starts to fill the
sound spectrum and your ears adjust to the psychedelic sound. This is a freaky instrumental. Lover is the last track and also has a quite psychedelic
sound and features the female vocalist from Der Blutharcsh. The programmed kick
drum is really in your face on this track. This track is just strange with
weird synths and drones. Ectc. Dave kicks in with a dark guitar riff around
2mins. Freaky stuff. It is hard to compare this to either band but it does have
more of a feel like recent White Hills verse older WH. I have not heard enough
of the extremely extensive Der Blutharsch discography to know if they have a
lot more stuff like this or not? This is totally unlike anything I have heard
this year. Check it out.
