Baba Yaga's Hut Presents: Gnod Drop Out With White Hills

Gnod: since their inception, Gnod’s musical trajectory has been one of constant fluctuation borne out of an incessant need to discover new sonic worlds. Beginning life as a shamanic drone ensemble, at times fitting up to 15 members on stage, these early rituals informed the core ideals that have come to define the group in their years of activity; community and trance-inducing repetition. Throughout a discography that has amassed dozens of CD-R’s, cassettes and vinyls for labels like Rocket Recordings, Trensmat, Krokodilo (Blackest Ever Black) and their own Tesla Tapes imprint, a restless yet organic need mutate their music into new realms has had critics clawing for comparative touch stones. Acts as far ranging as Hawkwind, Popul Vuh, Pan Sonic, Sunburned Hand of the Man and Pharaoh Sanders have all been referenced in attempt to pinpoint their output, one that has historically never aped any genre but with each record furthered their own unique place in truly independent music. White Hills: daring and unpredictable, WHITE HILLS has garnered a reputation as one of the most prolific bands of their generation, composing over 12 studio albums along with numerous EPS, singles and collaborations. Redefining the psychedelic and post-punk genres, the music made by core members Dave W. and Ego Sensation is risky and cutting edge, rooted in punk ethos and Stooges-style abandon. The duo has toured extensively internationally, produced a feature concert film WHITE HILLS: Splintered Metal Sky and appeared in Jim Jarmusch’s film Only Lovers Left Alive.
