    About this album

    White Light/White Heat is The Velvet Underground’s most ferocious and uncompromising album, a landmark that pushed rock into distortion, repetition and outright confrontation. Released in 1968, it stripped away the artfulness of their debut in favour of harsher guitar noise, pounding momentum and lyrics that treated taboo subjects with deadpan force. The title track, ‘I Heard Her Call My Name’ and the marathon ‘Sister Ray’ helped define the template for noise rock, punk and experimental rock to come. Recorded after line-up changes and produced by Tom Wilson, the album became one of the band’s most influential statements, admired for turning abrasion into lasting cultural power.
