RISING TO PROMINENCE AFTER THEIR PERFORMANCE IN JIM JARMUSCH’S VAMPIRE ROMANCE ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE, NYC’S PSYCHOTROPIC AVANT FUZZ ROCKERS WHITE HILLS HAVE GARNERED A CULT REPUTATION AS A FIERCE, GENRE-BENDING DUO.

THE MUSIC MADE BY DAVE W. (GUITAR/VOCALS) AND EGO SENSATION (DRUMS/BASS/VOCALS) IS RISKY AND CUTTING EDGE, ROOTED IN PUNK ETHOS AND NO-WAVE AESTHETICS. MASHING ELEMENTS OF KRAUTROCK, POST-PUNK, PSYCHEDELIC ROCK, METAL AND ELECTRONICA, EACH NEW RELEASE PROGRESSES AND TRANSCENDS, HYPER-CONSCIOUS OF SOCIETY’S CONSTANT DESIRE FOR A NEW AND BETTER DRUG.

"NEW YORK'S WHITE HILLS ARE THE OPPOSITE OF A COMET. THEY SUCK UP AN EXPLOSION OF ENERGY ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH; FROM THE HISTORY OF AMPLIFIED ROCK MUSIC, FROM THE WEATHER, FROM SPIRITUALITY, FROM ADRENALINE, FROM THE HISTORY OF SYNTHESIZED ELECTRONIC MUSIC, FROM SUBSTANCE USE, FROM PHILOSOPHY, FROM FRIENDS AND ENEMIES ALIKE, FROM MOTHER FUCKING ELECTRICITY, AND THEY FOCUS IT INTO A BLINDING BEAM OF ENERGY WHICH THEY REFLECT BACK OUT INTO THE VOID. AND THIS BEAM IS A MESSAGE. IT IS A STATEMENT WHICH READS: “FUCK YOU. WE ARE HERE. WE ROCK, THEREFORE WE ARE.” -JOHN DORAN, THE QUIETUS

“DAVE W. AND EGO SENSATION HAVE LED THE BAND TO BECOME SIMULTANEOUSLY ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN AND BEST KEPT SECRETS IN LIVE ROCK, A GROUP THAT OPENS A VORTEX EVERY TIME THEY HIT THE STAGE.”-POPMATTERS

“IT’S TRANSCENDENT MUSIC, IT’S RITUAL MUSIC, IT’S ABOUT SPACE AND IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO GO ON THEIR JOURNEY, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE SOME OF THE BENEFITS THAT GO ALONG WITH BREAKING THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE.” -IAN ASTBURY (THE CULT)

“SPACE-ROCK WARRIORS WHITE HILLS GIVE THE SENSE OF BEING OUT OF CONTROL, SO HIGH ON SO MANY THINGS THAT YOU’RE NOT SURE WHAT’S REAL ANYMORE.”-STEREOGUM

“THEY’RE LIKE REAL LIFE VAMPIRES. THERE’S SOMETHING EROTIC ABOUT THE WAY THEY CARRY THEMSELVES, BUT THERE’S ALWAYS THE CHANCE THEY COULD DRAIN ALL OF YOUR BLOOD ON A WHIM.” -ECHOES & DUST
