Manchester’s Gnod and New York’s White Hills stand as titans of Psychedelic & Space Rock. Together they bend the very notions of what rock can do, seemingly suspending our sense of time. Their alchemical chemistry and a fateful session at the Dropout Studio in Camberwell gave rise to the legendary, ongoing series of records under the moniker Drop Out. The records became an influential and sprawling series of extended pieces that remain touchstones of contemporary psychedelia.

Elongated space rock passages give way to bite-sized interludes of cosmic nuggets as these two bands take on space, time, and life itself. Listening at home is a trip, but experiencing it live replete with Gnod’s masterful command of undulating psychedelia and White Hills’ dazzling iridescence is sure to be something else entirely.
