About this product
Vinyl LP pressing includes . The dismal realities, political or otherwise, that are part of our modern world naturally influence our creative voices. It is in this context that White Hills re-evaluated their approach to creating a new album. Having continually refined their sound, pushing the boundaries of psychedelic music, White Hills flipped the script on Stop Mute Defeat. Dave W. and Ego Sensation have brazenly produced an industrially-charged record that pulsates unlike anything they've released before. Hard-line, gritty, and intellectually engaged, Stop Mute Defeat is a New York record through and through. With this in mind, White Hills drafted Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Brian Eno, Afrika Bambaataa) to mix. White Hills recorded with Bisi on two of their previous releases, Frying On This Rock in 2012 and it's follow-up So You Are... So You'll Be, however Stop Mute Defeat is the first time they worked with Martin InchThe BeastInch Bisi in control of the mixing board. A native New Yorker who made his name in the city's early hip-hop and no-wave scenes, Bisi was attracted to White Hills' new material for it's distinct early-80s Mudd Club feel. A dance hall, drug den, and bar, the Mudd Club was one of New York's legendary haunts in the late 1970's. As a center of a distinct art scene the club served as a major influence for White Hills and Stop Mute Defeat's sound.

Greg Mendez has always been an economical songwriter - he wields restraint and simplicity as tools, the core of his songs sharpened into simple, cutting truths. On Beauty Land, his new album and debut LP for Dead Oceans, we're guided by a wry but forgiving narrator, an underdog who has learned to balance cynicism and faith. These songs are self-effacing without self-pity, carefully constructed altars of imperfection channeled through pop melodies, shimmering but urgent guitars, and a voice that reaches for choir boy innocence.The bulk of Beauty Land was recorded directly to tape, almost entirely alone in Mendez's makeshift home studio in Philadelphia - a small room with no natural light. It's his first full length since his unexpected self-titled breakthrough in 2023, which was a slow burn success following 15 years of writing and recording music in relative obscurity between Philly and New York. Beauty Land picks up where we left off three years ago - plumbing the depths of grief, love, and addiction - but it's intense, quiet clarity shows Mendez at his songwriting best.Parts of Beauty Land feel like a lucid dream, dented characters carve their way through a world that's cartoonish and warped - the broken-clock march of InchI Wanna Feel Pretty,Inch the chiming toy piano on InchGentle Love.Inch InchMary / DreamingInch begins as a sparse, finger-picked lament before cutting abruptly to a deflated, Beach-Boys-but-make-it-fucked-up resolution that brings both melancholy and joy; a sense that all things can be true at once. None of the 14 tracks here break three minutes, but they tell stories that span lifetimes.Death floats through the record, whether it appears as a memory or a threat. Everything feels precarious. There's a fragility to how these songs are built the way the funeral organ hits alongside the morphine on InchLooking Out Your Window,Inch the devastating si
Pure psychotropic madness. A screaming head on fire penetrated my chest, jolting me from the universal plane back to earth.Inch Guitarist/Singer/Sonic Alchemist Dave W's vivid fever dream ignited The Revenge of Heads on Fire, White Hills' latest , which harnesses the energy of ferocious, hedonistic rock with blissful passages of dark ambience. Exploring themes of mortality, transformation and rebirth, the band reveals a spiritual depth unparalleled in previous works. The roar of fire, swirling of oceans and hallucinogenic visions can be heard throughout the 75-minute journey. From the intrepid prelude InchThe Instrumental HeadInch to the closing punk blaze of InchEternityInch, the album ebbs and flows, smouldering and seething in the middle with the 21- minute mammoth opus InchDon't Be AfraidInch. Inch'Don't Be Afraid' alone makes this an essential listen for fans of contemporary psychedelia.Inch -All Music The Revenge of Heads on Fire consummates Dave W's prototype for the 2007 on Rocket Recordings, Heads on Fire, later picked up by Thrill Jockey. Six rediscovered songs accompany re-mixed versions of the original material, fulfilling the master arch of the pyre lit long ago. Recorded during the band's tumultuous early years, the music vibrates with the energy and volatility of a sonic boom. The album will be released on Heads on Fire Industries, distributed worldwide via Cargo Records.
