The last White Hills record "H-p1" was a pretty good introduction to this band for me, but I feel like this new record is a step into an even stronger direction towards world domination. "Robot Stomp" is the real highlight, a kraut-metal longform jam that sounds like the result of Oneida and Wooden Shjips fucking on a roof, only that roof is covered in gravel and their knees got scratched to shit because a good fucking still feels better than a few boo-boos on your knee. They put forth a strong stoner rock showing on "You Dream You See" even if the lyrical content is a little repetitive. I can't help but think of Black Mountain when I listen to these guys, though Black Mountain has a bit more pop sheen to them. Damn enjoyable record.
