    It's difficult to avoid self-parody when you're mining a genre that largely defines itself by tacky sonic flourishes, but somehow White Hills have continued to do just that.

    Despite the different focus on Walks for Motorists, it’s less a reinvention for White Hills than an evolution from a prolific band with a restless streak.

    Walks For Motorists cascades, scalds, oozes ectoplasmically and revisits the rusting futures of rock past. [Jun 2015, p.92]

    At times it feels distinctively as they are seeking to make as much noise as it’s possible for two people to make together at any one time rather than anything more subtle or nuanced as that, but there are moments, more than a few of them on Walks for Motorists where the alchemy is programmed just perfectly and something happens.

    While the snap into tightly focused and sometimes more fiery songwriting is remarkable, the songs aren't as across-the-board strong as they'd need to be to make the entire album as remarkable as the shift it represents.
