Evoking the spirit and sound of space rock pioneers like Hawkwind, White Hills capture the expansive rock sound of the '70s with their brand of trippy, synth-heavy rock & roll. The band got their first break when Julian Cope released their album They’ve Got Blood Like We’ve Got Blood on his own label in 2005. This kicked off a prolific string of releases. In 2010, the expansive trio hooked up with Manchester-based psychedelic drone collective Gnod for Gnod Drop Out with White Hills II. The collaborations continued with the self-titled White Hills, which featured Oneida drummer Kid Million on drums. The band returned to the studio to work on their next album with Shahin Motia, resulting in 2011’s H-P1. ~ Gregory Heaney
