White Noise is the debut studio album by American rock band Pvris.

Following the band becoming a four-piece of vocalist/guitarist Lyndsey Gunnulfsen, guitarist Alex Babinski, bassist Brian MacDonald and drummer Brad Griffin, the group's sound changed.

Bringing pop and electronic elements into their music, the band released a self-titled EP.

Outside of a supporting tour in the UK, the band announced a couple of headlining dates that sold out within seconds.

Pvris formed in Lowell, Massachusetts[5] in late 2012[6] under the name Operation Guillotine.

[7] Their line-up soon changed to vocalist/guitarist Lyndsey Gunnulfsen, guitarist Alex Babinski, bassist Brian MacDonald[8] and drummer Brad Griffin.

[5] When the band went into the studio their sound changed drastically, incorporating pop and electronic elements into their music.

[6] The band went on The Rise Up Tour supporting A Skylit Drive[10] in September and October.

[12] For one week in the studio, Harnage and Gunnulfsen were sifting through demos and deciding which of the material to work on.

[6] All of the material that features on White Noise was written by Lyndsey Gunnulfsen[13] and producer Blake Harnage of VERSA,[15] with the exception of "Holy", "Fire" and "Eyelids", which were written by Gunnulfsen, Harnage and Sierra Kusterbeck.

[15] Compared to the band's previous output, Gunnulfsen said that White Noise "is very different from what a lot of people were expecting but in the best way".

"[18] Gunnulfsen was inspired by Saosin, Circa Survive, Ellie Goulding, Rihanna, and The Weeknd.

[9] Natasha Van Duser of Inked compared the "steady bass lines, groovy backbeats, and melodic vocals" to the likes of Taylor Swift's 1989 (2014).

[3] The lyrics for the album were written in October 2013, when Gunnulfsen was highly inspired by ghosts and spirits.

[14] The demo of the song was under the working title "White Boiz" and featured a different drum beat in the chorus.

[14] "Fire" was written after "a very intense" encounter with a person, resulting in the song coming across as "very raw and real", according to Gunnulfsen.

[23] In June 2014[20] prior to playing two weeks on the Battle of the Bands stage at Warped Tour, Pvris signed to Rise and Velocity Records.

[5] The band were originally signed to a different record label, but Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens heard the group's material and claimed he would "get you a deal with Rise.

[26] On September 22, the band announced their debut album, White Noise, for release.

[36] On January 10, 2015 a 7" vinyl was released featuring "St. Patrick" and an acoustic version of the song as the B-side.

[49] In January 2016, the band supported All Time Low and One Ok Rock in Japan on the One Thousand Miles Tour.

[52] Two days later, a double music video was released for the songs "Ghost" and "Let Them In",[53] which was also directed by Gonzo.

[66] Reviewing the album for Alternative Press, Brian Kraus called "St. Patrick" "an obvious single choice".

[1] Aside from "a few slip-ups", naming "Eyelids" in the process, he said the album was "a shiny debut from a band we are excited to watch improve.

"[1] Eleanor Grace of idobi elements of the band's previous post-hardcore sound can be found in traces across the album.

[2] At the same time, it was mixed with the band's pop sensibilities, resulting in a sound that is both "fresh and familiar.

"[2] Grace noted that the songs' hooks were "catchy enough for top 40 radio" while at the same time having "an edge and heavy influence", making them "a better fit for Rise Records than Ryan Seacrest.

"[2] Rock Sound reviewer Andy Biddulph mentioned that while "St. Patrick" was "the best and worst thing" the group have done, the remainder of the album fails to stand up to the song.
