WHITE HILLS signs with THRILL JOCKEY
I am pleased to announce that WHITE HILLS has just joined forces with the prestigious indie THRILL JOCKEY Records! We are extremely happy to be part of such an outstanding label as Thrill Jockey and look forward to long relationship with them.
Thrill Jockey will initially be releasing a vinyl version of HEADS ON FIRE. The album will also finally be available via all major online stores as well. We will be going into the studio after our upcoming European tour (all dates listed at the bottom of this email) to record our proper debut for the label. Thrill Jockey will also be distributing in North America our upcoming split LP with The Heads that Rocket Recordings is releasing this coming April. Besides that Thrill Jockey will be distributing our privately released albums Glitter Glamour Atrocity, the second pressing of the recent LP A Little Bliss Forever, and various upcoming CD-r releases.
Thrill Jockey's press release about the signing is below. Thanks to everyone for your continued support...without you we would not be here!

Thrill Jockey is pleased to announce that White Hills will be joining the Thrill Jockey roster. White Hills are Dave W., Ego Sensation, and Chris Turco. Based in New York, New York, the band has released albums for London's Rocket Recordings, Julian Cope's label Fuck Off and DI as well as several small edition CDs and LPs on Drug Space, their own label. Their debut "Glitter Glamour Atrocity" made in an edition of 1000 will be available from Thrill Jockey but there are only a few hundred left. Thrill Jockey will also be distributing their most recent LP only release "A Little Bliss Forever" whose first edition was 300. The second edition of 300 should be available in early April. Thrill Jockey will also be issuing "Heads On Fire" on LP for the first time this spring as well as distributing in North America the Rocket 12" split between White Hills and The Heads limited to 1000 copies world-wide and out late April. There is also rumored to be another White Hills / White Pee split coming on Drug Space. The last White Hills / White Pee split was encased in wood and sold out in a nano second.
White Hills debut appearance for Thrill Jockey will be on "Record Storeism" released in April. This limited LP being made for Record Store Day (silly us we thought EVERY DAY WAS RECORD STORE DAY) will also include Tortoise, Trans Am featuring Tim Soete, Mountains and Double Dagger who all contribute unreleased tracks (for more information contact Thrill Jockey). White Hills will be touring in the spring before completing their new album for Thrill Jockey.
