White Noise by Hamilton Hound is far from what it says on the titular tin. The gospel of Motown flows through the single that vocally reminds you of the era that The Streets reigned supreme in the UK. At the same time, jazzy motifs enmesh with a frenetic beat, creating a chaotic whirling dervish beneath the measured spoken word cadence that draws you into the emotive centre of the track. John Cooper Clarke levels of cheeky wit ripple through the exhilarant rhythms that rush past, daring you to keep pace with them. For fans of Argh Kid, White Noise will feel like a kindred echo—charged with the same urban realism and wired with poetic electricity.
Hamilton Hound—spoken word artist Ian Hamilton and multi-instrumentalist James Mason—don’t waste breath or instrumentation. Together, they summon soul-stirring soundscapes built to make the mundane transcendent. With every release, they sharpen the blade of their observational storytelling. White Noise lands as their latest incision—a track that peels back the surface of the everyday to expose raw truths and quiet chaos.
Following previous BBC Introducing-supported tracks like The Distance, Graves, and You Don’t Have to Hide, White Noise is another example of how Hamilton Hound carve out a space where grit and groove coexist. It’s a head rush with heart and an anthem for anyone tuning into the frequencies of modern discontent.
White Noise is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
