WHITE HILLS release the new electro-metal-psych track “Blank Stare”, a song about the savage persistence of time and the transcendental power of music. A fever induced sci-fi soundscape of crushing guitars, punishing drums and relentless bass backup Dave W and Ego Sensation’s emphatic gang vocals. Pure sonic adrenaline, White Hills’ signature style of brown acid psychedelia reigns in full force on this stand-alone single.
Daring and unpredictable, NYC’s White Hills have garnered a reputation as one of the most prolific and genre-bending bands of their generation. The music made by core members Dave W. and Ego Sensation is risky and cutting edge, rooted in punk ethos and no-wave aesthetics. Their latest album, Splintered Metal Sky, was hailed by The Quietus as the Best Psych Rock of 2020. White Hills appear as themselves in Jim Jarmusch’s vampire romance Only Lovers Left Alive.
