LP version. A sanctuary of adoration, creation and imagination, duo
White Hills
' lair in Brooklyn is also the nerve center of their record label Heads on Fire Industries. It's the site where the final mixes of
Beyond This Fiction
took shape. For nearly two decades, White Hills have been blowing minds with their sonic alchemy: a unique mix of neo-psychedelia, art rock, and post-punk -- at once original and recognizable. Their cult reputation emblazoned in celluloid following their performance in
Jim Jarmusch
's sultry vampire romance
Only Lovers Left Alive
(2013), the duo has toured vigorously since their inception. With a vast catalog that astounds and a relentless punk ethos, time seems to energize the duo, making them increasingly daring and prolific. Founding member
Dave W
, whose signature other-worldly guitar sorcery defines the White Hills sound, grabs his Les Paul to record a melody lingering in his head from last night's dream before it escapes. Outside, the sound of passing sirens, honking horns and bits of conversation remind you that you're in the middle of New York, a city so flush with rock legacy and artistic innovation it would take lifetimes to drink it all in. Committed to a vocation marked by extremes, doubt, struggle and moments of ecstasy, Dave and
Ego Sensation
Sensation (drums/bass/vocals) continue this torrid affair with music bearing their latest fruit
Beyond This Fiction
. Inspired by the ideas of
Joseph Campbell
, the writer/philosopher known for the book
The Power of Myth
(1988), the album explores the idea of "riding between opposites" -- forging one's own path unrestrained by the dualistic constraints of society. Recorded with
Martin Bisi
, known for his iconic NYC sound developed through his work with no-wave titans
Sonic Youth
,
Swans
, and
Lydia Lunch
,
Beyond This Fiction
sees Dave W (guitar/vocals/synths) and Ego Sensation (drums/bass/vocals) orchestrating their distinct guitar heavy meditations into songs with a stronger focus on vocals than previous albums. The album harnesses the seductive accessibility of 2015's
Walks For Motorists
while evoking the tempestuous soul of the band's seminal
H-p1
(2011). Notorious shapeshifters, White Hills make
Beyond This Fiction
a familiar surprise. Back in the lair, Dave draws eyes on his hands in preparation for the day's video shoot. Ego reaches in the closet pulling out the red velvet jacket she wears on the cover of Beyond This Fiction where she stands in a NYC alley holding a glowing orb.
