I have a fondness, or maybe even a passion, for space rock bands like White Hills, even considering bands that might otherwise be mis-classified as metal, like Pelican, Gnot, Red Sparowes and others, as part of the cosmic rock camp.
Just released on a beautifully pressed 2 LP set, H-P1 is a highlight of the year, and not just because it comes in such a well done package (the cover printing, colored vinyl, the whole thing is just really cool), it is a great, great record that bridges the psychedelic sixties, the fusion era Mahavishnu type genre, and the nu-metal ethic in a very compelling way. Closer to Mogwai, I suppose, more psych and out though, more cosmic in their vision as the pieces stretch out and build, a trasportation vehicle, a gate to fantastic visions. If I still did acid, this would be the one.
Actually, it should probably come with a tab sheet. Just kidding.
If you want one hell of a journey that has the feeling of being a modern piece but still, someplace you feel you have been to long agao, this is a trip worth taking.
A big five doobies. I think I paid about $18 for mine. A bargain. Up there on my list of 2011 revelations.
