White Hills
Walks For Motorists
White Hills are proponents of psychedelia as transformation The music made by Dave W and Ego Sensation is risky and cutting edge rooted in dystopian futurism and hyperconscious of society's constant desire for a new and better drug That progressive aesthetic is at the heart of White Hills' newest album Walks For Motorists a radically strippeddown record that emphasizes rhythm and groove The album bursts forth with a new kind of intensity one born out of laserfocused precision and detailoriented songwriting Possibly surprising to fans familiar with the Hawkwindian guitar squall of earlier albums the songs on Walks For Motorists began as a keyboard melody or bass line and several songs on the album don't even feature guitar at all This is propulsive open music surreal to its core but made to inspire people to get out of their seats and move 'Walks For Motorists' was recorded with David Wrench Caribou Bear in Heaven FKA Twigs Owen Pallet at Bryn Derwen Recording Studio in Bethesda Wales which borders the Snowdonia National Forest The band had 24hour access to the studio which allowed them to work whenever inspiration struck Wrench's expertise producing and mixing electronic music was an essential asset when perfecting the crisp tones heard throughout the record This is the first album the band has recorded outside of New York City and the vast rolling Welsh landscape that surrounded the studio influenced the album's uncluttered sound 'Walks For Motorists' is also White Hills' most diverse album to date Fuzzedout rockers sit comfortably next to krautinfused grooves and there are more vocal contributions from Ego than ever before LP LP version pressed on virgin vinyl and packaged in a high gloss jacket with spot varnish artworked inner sleeve and free download coupon CD CD version in 4 panel miniLP style gatefold package with spot varnish printing and inner sleeveA 2LP Also available exclusively to independent retailers as a special double LP set Translucent black vinyl LP plus bonus 'Drives For Pedestrians' black vinyl LP featuring 30 minutes of unreleased material packaged in its own jacket with bootleg style cover sticker
