The band recorded Heads on Fire, the title track of which did not make it onto the album but appears on the tour-only CD-r Oddity II- Night Scene On Mill Mountain.
Hailed as "quite possibly the finest album of space rock",[7] H-p1 has been described as a "work of science fiction",[8] the band citing Abstract Expressionist art[9] as muse and a concern for "societal ills like consumerism and corporate control of government"[10] as motivation.
Bisi, well known for his work with Sonic Youth, Swans, The Dresden Dolls, Herbie Hancock and John Zorn among others, helped the band achieve crisper tones than on their previous releases.
In Fall of 2014, the band convened in Bethesda, Wales at Bryn Derwyn studio to record an album with producer David Wrench, best known for his work with Glass Animals,Caribou and FKA twigs.
The band had joined forces again with Martin Bisi, a native New Yorker who made his name in the city's early hip-hop and no-wave scenes and was attracted to White Hills' new material for its distinct early-80s feel.
Their video "Honesty", directed by Northern Irish filmmaker Kiran Acharya and shot in both London and New York City, was debuted on NME.
"[25] Independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch became a fan[26] of WHITE HILLS and invited the band to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties Music Festival in New York 2010 weekend he curated along with other artists Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Sleep, Sonic Youth, Sunn O))) and Boris.
This documentary chronicles the birth and life of Martin Bisi's legendary recording and production studio co-founded by multi-instrumentalist and collaborator-extraordinaire Bill Laswell.
Dave W, the principle lyricist for the band, has cited Jim Carroll[31] and Buckminster Fuller as inspirations and has been quoted as saying, "I'm very conscious about making the records sound very different from each other.
They have shared stages with bands such as MONO, The Flaming Lips, Sleepy Sun, Cloudland Canyon, Mudhoney, Akron/Family, Monster Magnet, Oneida, Pontiak, and The Cult.
