About Me

A Poignant Bio:

In keeping with the style established more than a quarter year ago, Champion City Records has captured the expression of Edmonton vineyards in Hills Like White Elephants. The band presents exquisite flavors that move seamlessly across the palate. Classic balance typifies their refreshingly soft, yet truly rich sound. When you taste Hills Like White Elephants, look for nutty flavors with hints of brioche that build to a refreshing dry finish. The songs deliver complex apple and pear characteristics accented by citrus spice over notes of almond and caramel in the bouquet. Hills Like White Elephants pairs nicely Hemmingway short stories, turtle lamps and banana loaf.

Releases to Date:

The HLWE 'Cassingles' - Paper Tigers w/ remixes by Westfalia & The Marshall Stack (September 2006)
