White Noise Sound – s/t (Alive)

The self-titled debut album from White Noise Sound is another example of an LP that makes it obvious what the band has in its record collection. The Welsh sextet is clearly enamored of 25-years-gone peers like Spacemen 3, Loop and the Jesus & Mary Chain – all feedback, distortion and drone in service of alternately driving and gentle psychedelic tunes. But Loop and the 3 aren’t around anymore and the Chain hasn’t sounded like this since its first album. WNS has mastered these kinds of audio explosions completely, from full-bore rockers like “Sunset” to dreamy drifters like “There is No Tomorrow,” ambient dub excursions like “Blood (Reprise)” to slowly rising titans like “No Place to Hide.” White Noise Sound’s quest isn’t for originality, but for holding true to a timeless sound.
