WHITE HILLS - Announce new album 'Beyond This Fiction' - Out August 23rd on Heads On Fire Records - Hear "Killing Crimson" now

Photo credit: Alex Carter NYC’s notorious shapeshifting duo White Hills will unleash their philosophy-inspired album ‘Beyond This Fiction’ on August 23rd via on Heads On Fire Records.    Inspired by the ideas of Joseph Campbell, the writer/philosopher known for The Power of Myth, the album explores the idea of “riding between opposites”- forging one’s own path unrestrained by the collective “fiction” that the masses subscribe to. It’s a cry to all the seers among us- call us outsiders or rebels- who feel smothered by convention and see nonconformity as the gateway into divine mystery.   They have announced the album with lead single “Killing Crimson”, which the band’s guitarist, vocalist and synth player Dave W describes as “a volcanic guitar riff that flows like lava down the mountainside steaming into the ocean.”   Listen to “Killing Crimson": https://youtu.be/DlNvGfHaj_A   Recorded with longtime collaborator 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. Neo-psychedelia, indie, post-punk, shoegaze and experimental elements synthesize leading the listener through the doors of perception.  Harnessing the seductive accessibility of 2015’s ‘Walks For Motorists’ while evoking the tempestuous soul of the band’s trailblazing 2011 H-p1, White Hills make ‘Beyond This Fiction’ a familiar surprise.    For nearly two decades, White Hills have been blowing minds with their sonic alchemy: a unique mix 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, the duo has toured vigorously since their inception. With a vast catalogue that astounds and a relentless punk ethos, time seems to energize the duo, making them increasingly daring and prolific.     ‘Beyond This Fiction’ track listing: 1)    Throw It Up in The Air 2)    Clear As Day 3)    Killing Crimson 4)    Fiend 5)    Closer 6)    The Awakening 7)    Beyond This Fiction   ‘Beyond This Fiction’ artwork:   Links: https://www.whitehillsband.com https://www.tiktok.com/@whitehillsband https://www.instagram.com/whitehillsmusic/
