REVIEWS
Fondé en 2011 sur les cendres de diverses formations (Sleeptime, Tröms, Senoï), Wallack avait jusqu'à lors sorti un EP 5 titres baptisé Massive Melodies (2013) puis un premier album éponyme deux ans plus tard. Courant 2017, le guitariste / chanteur / claviériste Cyprien Tillet, le bassiste Bertrand (à priori remplacé depuis par Marco) et le batteur / chanteur Vincent Billy enregistrent leur second opus intitulé White Noise.
Bien que toujours fidèles à un rock massif, le trio a fait évoluer son style. Les influences stoner et progressives du début sont toujours bien là. Nos Poitevins ont pourtant choisi d'inclure des synthétiseurs à leur musique pour ajouter une dimension à la fois progressive-psychédélique (un peu de The Doors ou de Pink Floyd par-ci) et industrielle (avec du Nine Inch Nails par-là.… On n'y reviendra).
Grosse gratte, effets de voix, le morceau éponyme mélange moments percutants et parties plus calmes. Mêmes tonneaux avec l'accrocheur ''50 Common Years'' et son refrain contagieux ainsi que sur ''A Giant Gutter In Outerspace'' qui fait sauter sur place quand tout s'emballe. Jump... Jump... Jump... Ainsi, les rythmes et les compositions s'alternent avec intelligence entre titres bien énergiques (''Heavy Sighs'' et ''Indians'') et chansons plus sombres (par exemple l'hommage à l'acteur-réalisateur d'Easy Rider ''Dennis Hopper Is Dead''). Dans un registre assez étrange et mélancolique, plusieurs instrumentaux relativement courts parsèment la galette (''Anno Zero, Luego X'', ''Interlude'' ou ''Ulysse'').
Parmi les idées bienvenues, on note les interventions d'une invitée prénommée Lucie sur deux pistes. D'abord un duo voix masculine/féminine sur l'aérien ''It Will Never Be'' et carrément un lead vocal de la demoiselle sur l'électro indus ''The Crossroads''. Une belle surprise nous attend avec la reprise de ''The Day The World Went Away'' de NIИ. Dès les premières secondes on reconnaît immédiatement la compo du combo à Trent Reznor et pourtant… oui et pourtant Mélodique, avec une bonne basse groovy et bien heavy, un chant adapté... plus de six minutes de plaisir jouissif. Brillant, tout simplement ENORME. On en redemande.
Ce que nous propose là Wallack donne sacrément envie d'une suite qu'elle soit sur disque ou sur scène. Il semble d'ailleurs que nos pictaviens ont décidés de devenir quatuor (avec l'arrivée de Seb en tant que second six-cordiste) afin de restituer sur scène le travail élaboré en studio. White Noise combine subtilement psyché/prog autant que de stoner/rock indé. Nous avons là la recette d'une bonne potion magique en provenance d'une marmite du Poitou.

Created in 2011 in Poitiers, Wallack has refined over the years a massive rock and melodic coexist power, emotional charge, and ability to create a captivating sensory universe. The trio (guitar / vocals, bass, drums / vocals) pushes back the field of its Stoner and progressive influences by including synthesizers, adding a psychedelic and industrial dimension to their music.
Here and there, we meet Kyuss, Pink Floyd as well as Nine Inch Nails. With more than 30 concerts, including Mars Red Sky, Robot Orchestra, Ravens, 7 Weeks ... the band releases its first LP in 2015 at P.O.G.O Records.
In 2017 the group became quartet and released in January 2018 his second album "White Noise" followed by a tour.
The desert rock/stoner band Wallack with this new album made a good work, psychedelic, industrial influences (see Einstürzende Neubauten), a few flash of sound in Nirvana mood, and a very personal creativity.
Just with the owner, the title track White Noise let us know the intention of this band, stoner rock with an electric verve in ichi voice and music are interviewed in a special gloomy atmosphere.
The follower track “Anno Zero” change rhythm and mood with good bass lines and brilliant guitars.
“50 Common Years” just remind the first Nirvana works, no less no more.
Great guitar intro for “Heavy Sighs” , that which continues with a gloomy mood, absolutely a highlight, and the dark atmosphere continues in “Dennis Hopper is Dead” , another interesting piece that can not fail to bring back to my mind the Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”…in a different but similar key.
A short piece for “Interlude” accompanying to the track “Indians”, heavy sounds, heavy guitar and a gloomy sound again, nice piece! 
One on my favorite piece is “It Will Never Be”, the sounds that pervade in this album recall the dark wave of the eighties, revisited as like this track with a touch of psychedelic sound.
Synth music sound for “The Crossroads”, just like in “Ulysse”, an industrial piece with melodies. Do not dissimilar the following “The Day the World Went Away”, just heavier and more rough.
To close the album, “A Giant Gutter in Outerspace” almost a glow that can be glimpsed after the darkness of the pieces proposed until now.
“White Noise” is a very good album where stoner meets grunge and gloomy sounds.
Absolutely to listen to it!

El cuarteto francés Wallack publicó el pasado enero su segundo trabajo "White noise".
Un intenso y logrado trabajo en el que exploran territorios de psicodelia pesada y sonidos stoner con grandes momentos de viaje psicotrópico.
Nebulosas espaciales combinadas con complementos noise, en el que tienen cabida hipnóticos ritmos de sintetizadores.
Aterciopeladas voces femeninas en conjunción con graves registros masculinos.

Living up to the description of desert rock/stoner rock, Wallack deliver deep groovy noise with flashes of psychedelic sounds all in the manner of a band who don’t have a care in the world. The title track is the start of a trek filled with all manner of fascinating sights to distract & addictive substances to test out.
The tempo is kept high for the short, bouncy Anno Zero before 50 Common Years- delivers a grunge-tinged tune that really made me think of Nirvana for a moment! Not a slur (unless you really hate them) but a reflection of the differing elements that make White Noise a compelling listen.
Twelve tracks breeze by in a blur of hazy, smoke-filled riffs & fuzzy bass hooks. No matter if it’s pacey, energetic numbers (Heavy Sighs, Indians) or the momentarily slower & darker efforts (Denis Hopper is Dead, It Will Never Be).
Wallack prove that they’ve got their style of stoner rock perfected. White Noise is a momentous album. No two tracks sound the same but most gel together wonderfully.
The only real mis-step is the electronica heavy, The Crossroads. An oddity that doesn’t seem to fit with what came before & what comes after. The penultimate track, The Day the World Went Away is the highlight of a fantastic record. That sense of hugeness is so evident here & it’s akin to floating through space peacfully admiring everything from afar. The melody, the bass-heavy groove, the sultry vocals…brilliant, just brilliant.
Rather then attempt to top that, Wallack instead go for a more upbeat, rocky finish. A Giant Gutter in Outerspace having a catchy bit of bounce mixed around sweet sounding melody.
A unique listen that is a hell of an effort from a very talented band.

Créé en 2011 à Poitiers, Wallack a peaufiné au fil des ans un rock massif et mélodique où coexistent puissance, charge émotionnelle, et capacité à créer un univers sensoriel envoûtant. Le trio (guitare/chant, basse, batterie/chant) repousse désormais le champ de ses influences stoner et progressive en incluant des synthétiseurs, ajoutant ainsi une dimension à la fois psychédélique et industrielle à leur musique. Ici et là, on côtoie aussi bien Kyuss, Pink Floyd que Nine Inch Nails. Riche de plus d’une trentaine de concerts, aux côtés entre autres de Mars Red Sky, Robot Orchestra, Corbeaux, 7 Weeks… le groupe sort son premier LP en 2015 chez P.O.G.O Records. Le prochain opus est actuellement en cours de composition et devrait voir le jour début 2017.

"French Wallack knows very well how to grunge the stoner rock. They are studied persons and groove like hell. White Noise is a 5 minutes boiling lava tune!"
