Splintered Metal Sky
, the long-awaited new installment in the ever-vast musical cannon of
White Hills
. The album takes the listener on a post-punk, psychedelic ride fueled by industrial-strength fuzz and propelled by powerful beats where songs weave in and out of each other to imitate the rhythm of the city the band calls home.
Splintered Metal Sky
is about oscillation and evolution. It's metamodern music looking at human existence in relation to technology and the hyper-driven architectural reshaping of a city. The music was largely inspired by the drone and roar of machinery pulsing through New York City, which is in a never-ending state of demolition and reconstruction.
Dave
and
Ego
took to the streets, gathering field recordings of sounds from the subway, drills, jackhammers, people in parks, traffic, mayhem, and the occasional silence. These recordings were then manipulated and constructed into rhythmic lines that were used as the basis for songs. The music, mixing noise with disciplined beat, embodies the paradoxical nature of the city: the grimy littered dead end alley just steps away from the sleek luxury skyscraper; the half-eaten chicken bone being devoured by a rat on the subway tracks just beneath the glittering facade of the Chrysler building; the endless milling about of the eight million people who call this slab of land home on their way to and from everywhere and nowhere. Informed by industrial innovators
Einstürzende Neubauten
and
SPK
, the avant-garde post-punk of
Tuxedomoon
and the dub-electro of
Cabaret Voltaire
, the album vibrates with the energy of a sensually feral, raw beast. "CoNSTRUCT" features synth and samples by
Jim Coleman
and ambient guitar by
Jim Jarmusch
.
