Strip Black Sabbath of almost all of their populism and toss in The Flying Saucer Attack's synthetic whooshes, and you pretty much have White Hills' formula. There's experimental spirit and guitar talent to spare on display on their latest self-titled album, out on Thrill Jockey, but this style of music gets the tag "stoner rock" for a reason. Drugs would undoubtedly make a full hour's worth of spacey noises and solos a whole lot more interesting than it actually is.
