White Light/White Heat

The Velvet Underground

The group moved away from the polish of their earlier work to record these abrasive sessions in 1967. The results focus on extreme volume and feedback rather than traditional melody.

One seventeen-minute track serves as an unhinged centerpiece for the project. The material acts as a claustrophobic journey into darker musical territory.
