Description

Born of an unholy union of melody, sheer volume, and white noise, Noise Pop seeks to create accessible pop from the tension between these elements. Noise Pop arguably had its roots in the influential art-pop of the Velvet Underground, but it didn't truly find its voice until the debut of the Jesus & Mary Chain in 1984. That Scottish group's LP Psychocandy was a critical success -- although the band didn't find popular success for a number of years -- and provided ample evidence that pure pop could exist within walls of sandpaper. Noise Pop's cacophonous hooks can be heard in everything from My Bloody Valentine's seminal album Loveless to virtually anything by the Pixies, to the psychedelic experimentalism of the Flaming Lips.
