"White Noise" is the fifth studio album by Australian rock band The Living End, released in Australia on 19 July, 2008. It was their first album released by their new record label Dew Process. It was also released with a limited edition bonus DVD, which was recorded at ACDC Lane, Melbourne, featuring six live songs, four of which were songs from "White Noise". The album debuted at number two on the Australian Album Chart, achieving a Gold certification in its first week.

Background

Pre-recording

After a live show in late 2006, the band was placed on hiatus due to the fatigue of lead vocalist Chris Cheney. Cheney took a number of months off, doing yoga for relaxation and consequently, inspiration. "White Noise" got its first real kick-start when he came up with the guitar riff from the first track "How Do We Know?", saying he "took it to the guys and they said ‘That's the direction, write another 12 of those'". Cheney has said the brief departure "was the turmoil that had to happen", but he "was back on track".

In February 2008, The Living End, under the alias of The Longnecks, played a small tour across Victoria to road-test songs they had written for their fifth studio album. They played a handful of dates and used the audience's reaction to the new material as a guide to which songs sounded better in a live environment.

Recording and production

The Living End's new label suggested and assigned producer John Agnello, who has formerly done work with Sonic Youth and The Hold Steady.cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/cd-reviews/white-noise/2008/07/17/1216163044246.html|title=White Noise|publisher=TheAge.com.au|last=Murfett|first=Andrew|date=2008-07-17|accessdate=2008-07-26] Band manager Rae Harvey selected Brendan O'Brien to mix and master the album. O'Brien begun work with The Living End literally a day after completing production on "AC/DC's fifteenth studio album",cite web|url=http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23925452-5006024,00.html|title=Chris Cheney left the Living End, now he's back|publisher=Herald Sun.com.au|last=Adams|first=Cameron|date=2008-06-26|accessdate=2008-07-26] he has also done work with Pearl Jam.cite web|url=http://maxtv.com.au/Max/Article.aspx?id=2110|title=The Living End - White Noise (CD)|publisher=Maxtv.com.au|date=2008-07-21|accessdate=2008-07-26] These two were selected to help replicate their live sound inside a studio. The album was recorded by producer Agnello in April 2008, in New Jersey, United States.

Promotion

Only four days after the mastering of the album was completed, The Living End released a taster track titled "How Do We Know", which was posted on the Triple J website for download on May 23, 2008, available for one week only. Also as a promotion for the album a "White Noise Gizmo" was made available through the Nova Radio Station webpage, which Windows Vista users were able to download a taster of the album. This allowed two tracks a day to be heard from July 14 to July 18.
