White Hills is an American psychedelic rock band that was formed in 2003 in New York City. Founding members Dave W. (guitar and vocals) and Ego Sensation (bass, drums and vocals) have been the only constant members.
They have recorded over fifty releases including twelve full-length studio albums.[1] Their music strikes "a riveting balance between heaviness and ethereality"[2] combining elements of krautrock, post-punk, art rock, goth, psychedelic rock, metal, stoner rock, ambient and experimental music. They are often compared to Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, MC5 and Spiritualized.
