New Age Hillbilly is Alex Strama, essentially a one man band hailing from Baltimore, MD. On this, his 4th release he's augmented by several other session players on almost every track. IV White Walls takes it's inspiration from post-punk, psych, prog, electronica and just plain vanilla R&R, borrowing freely from all sides to create fairly dense sonic pictures. There's lots of good ideas here and they are, for the most part, well executed. Standout tracks are "Ghost", a nod (intentionally?) to the softer side of Kevin Ayers, and the title track "White Walls" with it's driving grunge/prog aesthetic. Overall, a solid, if a bit limited, outing. It's worth mentioning that NAH has played live with King Missile III, Drums & Tuba, Cotton Casino (Acid Mothers) and many others. One imagines that seeing NAH perform would be quite entertaining.
