With just the right blend of psychedelia and hypnotic grooves, WHITE HILLS weaves in and out of anthemic chants, deep space bleeps and other worldly madness for a mix that proves to be intoxicating. Since the release of the band’s debut CD, listeners have been praising their originality and unique brand of heavy space rock.

WHITE HILLS excellent brand new CD, Glitter Glamour Atrocity, pilots Hawkwind starships fueled on kraut-rock drone, wah-wah pedal freak out, and post-rock ambience.  -Village Voice, NYC

Heads On Fire throws down grungy distorted layers of sludge that relentlessly churn along. It’s neither subtle nor pretty, but god damn it rocks. They take the space rock template and inject it with a battered fucked-up New York punk spirit. -Drowned In Sound

White Hills is turning out to be quite the surprise of the year. After killing earlier in the year with Glitter Glamour Atrocity and releasing a comparable tour CD, the band has fired back again with the UK release of Heads on Fire. The latest release is just as much of a pummeling psych juggernaut as the rest; merging the Hawkwind style space jams with a tight groove of blistery guitars and trembling bass. The band are waving the Space Rock banner high and proud which has already garnered them support from legends in the field such as Julian Cope, for whom they’ve opened in the UK. The latest album, despite the relentless output this year shows no trace of being leftovers, but instead another album full of thick plumes of ash and turbulent waves of cosmic radiation. The band thrive in making the calm moments exceedingly liquid while still having a knack for fierce waves of noise ridden psych that leaves the space behind and burns like the earth’s core. Given the band’s current direction I fully expect to see great things from them in the future. -Raven Sings The Blues

’Heads on Fire’ left me completely satiated, having taken me places I’d never expected to go. It’s wonderful to discover a band who so wholeheartedly embrace the past without ever letting it constrain their vision for the future. I look forward to hearing more. -Nine Hertz

If Woodstock 1969 were to happen today, White Hills would probably be the brown acid. This isn’t the sixties though and this kind of dark, looming psych-rock is as much a reaction to growing up on grunge and death metal as Woodstock was to the polished rock n’ roll of the fifties. -Sonic Frontiers

If Julian Cope wants to release a remixed version of your debut album and invites you to play your first gig in U.K. opening for him, you definitely did hit the right note. And that’s exactly what has happened to White Hills. The music is noise indulged heavy space rock by way of Hawkwind anno 2007. Extremely fuelled with distorted bass, swirling synthesizers and long fuzz fuelled guitar solos. This band for sure knows its roots and still manages to reinvent the space-/krautrock genre. This is not like Ozric Tentacles - no, it’s the dark side of your mind when on acid. Most songs are high energy rockers, but then suddenly the band submerges into a 26 minutes psychedelic nightmare ironically called "Don’t be Afraid". This record is a pure mindfuck - but what a great fuck it is! -Delicate Howls Of Wonder

Their previous release,Glitter Glamour Atrocity, found the band experimenting around with a number of different styles from ambient to Krautrock to Spacemen 3 influenced rock, but on their latest outing, White Hills jettisons the experiments to totally consume themselves in balls to the wall, and yep, "heads on fire" total space rock. It’s something like Hawkwind on steroids, with pounding drums and throbbing, catchy bass lines, whooshing space synths, barely heard mantra-like vocals, and of course, oodles and oodles of heavy, crushing, effects-laden guitars. -Aural Innovations

Space Rock fans should waste no time getting this album (HEADS ON FIRE). Farflung fans will LOVE this, as will anyone who digs the balls out space metallic jams of early Hawkwind. And solid production has helped White Hills create a MASSIVE sound that will knock you about like some cosmic sledgehammer. Highest recommendation -Roadburn

If you’re going to play this kind of gritty garage-bred psychedelia, it stands to reason you should lay it on thick, but maximalism takes on a whole new meaning in White Hills’ "Glitter Glamour Atrocity". Among its key ingredients: motorik-mined grooves, cool bass drone, raw-wire monotone riffery, liberally-applied space noises, the lupine hiss of overzealous wah-wah pedals, and sampled radio broadcasts of 9/11 prognosticators and finger-waggers. All of that over feedback squalls and the barest traces of threatening, spitting vocals-- and that’s just a part of this eight-minute freakout. It should have been 45 minutes longer. I can’t think of a single excess they’ve left out, nor one they should have. -Pitchfork
