White Noise Sound - White Noise Sound (CD) (UK Import)

WNS emerged from the mountains of South Wales in 2006, channelling their own kaleidoscopic wall-of-sound, weaving "thrilling, metronomic Krautrock riffs, tranquillised lullabies and lysergic explosions" (Q).

The band's eponymous debut album - completed with the assistance of the luminary Pete Kember (Spacemen 3 / Sonic Boom / Spectrum) and magician Cian Ciaran (Super Furry Animals / Das Koolies) - was released globally in 2010 by California’s, Alive Records. Proclaimed "a psychedelic shoegaze gem" (The Times), WNS1 was greeted with widespread critical praise, despite its avant-garde propulsion.

The following years saw collaborations, notably, with Belfast producer and techno DJ Phil Kieran - summoning a seductive cut of hedonistic house and a Beatport chart-topping single in 2012, with remixes by the likes of Maya Jane Coles.

WNS returned in 2015 with album two, ‘Like a Pyramid of Fire’, released by the cult, Rocket Girl Records. Working closely with Phil Kieran and again with Cian, LAPOF saw the band transcend their "opiated roar nd blissed-out walls of sound" (Artrocker). The album was championed by Andrew Weatherall, along with Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq, Gideon Coe and Tom Robinson at BBC Radio, while WNS joined The Jesus and Mary Chain, Weatherall and Phil Hartnoll (Orbital) on stage - "building an actual cathedral of sound verging on the mythical” live performances (The Guardian) - before they returned to the Welsh mountains at the close of 2015.
