Something of a lost gem has been re-released by Thrill Jockey. White Hills 2007 self released album Glitter Glamour Atrocity. It contains the pounding track Spirit of Exile, as below…

This week sees the re-release of White Hills’ Glitter Glamour Atrocity, originally self-released in 2007 as a limited edition CD and unavailable on any other format until now. Now presented for the first time on vinyl (as well as CD again) with brand new artwork and properly mastered.

Glitter Glamour Atrocity is a snapshot of White Hills in the midst of an incredible burst of creativity, recorded during the same sessions that produced Heads On Fire (2009) and Abstractions & Mutations (2007). Sonically, it is radically different from anything else coming out of the New York underground at the time, and it set the template for the singular concoction of heavy psychedelic music, krautrock and a worship of pure sound they have explored in different variations ever since.

Watch the music video for ‘Spirit of Exile’, a track taken from the album. The video shows exclusive footage from the filming of the Jim Jarmusch film ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’ (which White Hills appeared in) with footage from the London, Paris, and New York premieres. It’s all done to lush effect.
