“Unify” is a never-before-heard piece recorded during the original Drop Out collaboration period. Whirling and frothing with blissfully lysergic motion, the song’s hypnotic throb and sinewy bass groove bely the soaring, fuzz-laden guitars. The over-13-minute piece embodies what makes the two bands’ collaboration so special, an epic fitting of a meeting of masters of psych and space rock.

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. Having been called “absolutely essential,” “best I have heard – ever,” “A masterpiece,” the Drop Out series finally gets its definitive edition. Drop Out III is a wholly new iteration of Gnod & White Hills’ collaboration, the “director’s cut,” if you will. Drop Out III is replete with sounds recorded in the “Drop Out era” that have never been heard before. The double LP features a cornucopia of expanded versions of essential songs complete with new arrangements, mixes, and instrumentation. 15 years after the series began, Drop Out III is an essential album for lovers of contemporary psychedelic rock, a testament to the power of this collaboration.
