2010, Rocket Recordings
VINYL FORMAT. Welcome to the meeting of
future minds, welcome to oceans far
divide, welcome to flashing hypnotic
travels, welcome to suspended grooves
unraveled, welcome to the new Rocket
Recordings release to drop out of the
sky. Gnod Drop Out with White Hills
II is the first official
collaboration between two of the most
colossal cosmic manglers on the planet,
that of astral rejecters Gnod
(Manchester) and former Rocket, now
Thrill Jockey's spacerock juggernauts
White Hills (New York). It's brimming
with surrendered Neu like patterns, like
both bands driving through 'Dingerland'
with 'LA Woman' blasting from the
rushing air. We have 16 minute elegant
'Bel Air' suites, its ebbed and flowing
mesmerizing grooves burst with swooping
grandiose synths, like gentle waves,
hanging in time. Interjections of
oscillating guitars and keyboards,
designed to propel the captured listener
into a trance-inducing sunroof of
kosmische blur, rupturing out through
the expansive blue. The eight tracks
contained over four sides are embedded
with four long 10 minute plus pieces and
these anchor the whole experience firmly
into an exciting haze of echoing
psychedelia, electronic and experimental
Krautrock trippo-nova. After which, all
four corners of your mind's eye have
been consecrated 'in Gnod we trust's'
world of undulating symphonies.
