White Hills 'Paradise' (Thrill Jockey, 2011)

Gnarly, locked-groove Krautrock/Space Rock party tune.

Don't know much about White Hills but I'll give most things on Thrill Jockey a spin, given the delights of post-rock and electronic instrumental music they have released over the years.

I'm glad I did as 'Paradise' is a relentless, trippy Krautrock groove with plumes of dirty synth twisting some nice shapes.

It is also very long, clocking in somewhere over 12 minutes. The band are also highly political, though you wouldn't know it from the instrumental music alone, and colloborate with Krautrock-sage Julian Cope on one of the Rough Trade bonus tracks.
