New York state's
Burnt Hills specialized in lo-fi, chaotic, sprawling prog-noise-space jams.
They
debuted with the deranged space-rock of the 38-minute To Your Head (Flipped Out, 2006) for six five guitar, bass and three drummers,
but soon discovered that they could venture way beyong the land of Hawkwind and
Bardo Pond and
into a hyper-psychedelic, primitive and tribal sound that was
inspired by both Dead C and Crash Worship.
Cloud Nine (Tape Drift, 2007) contained seven untitled jams for seven guitars, five drummers and bass (nine players alternating at different instruments).
The abrasive, propulsive one-hour piece of Stoners Pot Palace (Flipped Out, 2007) set a new standard for their recordings, that now became hour-long streams of consciousness, for example
the
58-minute Amphipacifica (House Of Alchemy, 2008), with the group stripped down to a quartet,
and
Tonite We Ride (Flipped Out, 2008) for seven players,
recorded live in a basement.
Burnt Hills' side-project Pog released Mitote (Flipped Out, 2007),
chamber noise that is equal (deranged) parts of folk and jazz.
Burnt Hills continued their wildly spaced-out atonal saga with
Over The Rainbow (Noiseville, 2009).
Nine performers (including four guitarists and two drummers)
contributed to the two jams of
Herb Saint (Flipped Out, 2010), that was followed by
Rise Above (Flipped Out, 2010), also divided in two untitled sides,
and the EP
The Moon Of The Sky (Flipped Out, 2010), with the 21-minute
The Moon Of The Sky, and the single-sided LP
Lights Out (2011), with another lengthy suite,
Lights Out
Live performances were documented on
Live 06-11-07 (Holy Room, 2010) and Live (Holy Room, 2011).
