White Hills will release their upcoming LP Walks For Motorists on April 7th via Thrill Jockey, and today we preview the track “No Will“. The new album is the first to find Dave W. and Ego Sensation recording outside of New York City, with the pair choosing to work instead with David Wrench (Caribou, Bear in Heaven, FKA Twigs, Owen Pallet) at Bryn Derwen Recording Studio in Bethesda, Wales. In addition, on the upcoming LP White Hills follow a more stripped down, bass and rhythm focused approach, with many of the tracks initially sketched out on organ, rather than Dave W.’s pyrotechnic guitar. This can definitely be heard on “No Will”, a track which snakes thru various deep grooves while maintaining a heavy low end, and if, in the past, it was Dave’s guitar work that really set fire to the audio space, here, Ego Sensation’s growling bass is the real amp scorcher!
