C or D: Wolf Eyes

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Saw them live once and they were fan-fucking-tastic. Saw them live about 8 months later and they were godawful. Recorded, some of the stuff I'm into (the noisier, incoherent screaming stuff) and some of it kinda bores me (the more ambient electronic stuff.)

Opinions?

their best proper LP = dread.

i've heard all the full-lengths and a few of the cassettes. none can recapture that first glimpse/listen i had of them. i say take your chances live. I've seen them twice and fell in love... O_o

see also: VIOLENT RAMP.

NO. NO. NO.

I saw them open for Sonic Youth. They were absolutely the worst band I have ever heard. Their music is like the holocaust^2. It was almost like a parody of art-rock bands. The amazingly annoying lyrics, the blowing on that stupid horn, the idiot guy who jumped up and down like he was really into it, even though he didnt really play an instrument.

Wolf Eyes are a horrible, horrible band.

― David Allen, Friday, 18 October 2002 02:29 (10 years ago) Permalink

wow... 14 million people were brutally murdered while they played their set?

hmmm...

maybe the guy really was into it even though he couldn't play an instrument. isn't that sort of the theory that Sonic Youth sort of started with? I'm not saying you should like it, but at least they're eliciting a response, which is more than could be said for a lot of the pap being made right now.

oh wait, the holocaust *squared*, so 49 million people..

gosh, those guys must really be monsters.

i just borrowed "Slicer" last night and thought it was a bit of a dud

just ambient noise. i heard they were supposed to sound like suicide or electro punk shit

but i've heard Dread is the one to get

Im gonna stick with my original opinion - worst atrocity mankind has ever produced.

It actually exceeds Freddy Got Fingered.

― David Allen, Friday, 18 October 2002 03:36 (10 years ago) Permalink

OMG

Jason D. how was your sandwich for lunch today?

guess who you borrowed SLICER from? i'll hook you up tomorrow with the real deal.

too funny...

― dmv, Friday, 18 October 2002 03:59 (10 years ago) Permalink

"dread" is it; after that this band has no need to justify their existence to _anyone_.

the self-titled and "fuck pete larsen" releases are also pretty tasty, i can't wait to hear "slicer." as for the american tapes stuff...inessential, but some of it is interesting, like the "black rat floods" and "dead mills" collections of clanky ghost factory concrete. sort of like the black dice/wolf eyes things amtapes released, actually.

― your null fame (yournullfame), Friday, 18 October 2002 04:25 (10 years ago) Permalink

agreed on the dread and fuck pete larsen stuff. i dig the split with crack too.

i could understand why folks might not like this. expecting an oreo cookie, but getting cocoa, sugar, flour, and lard. it's like rock on it's side, with a beat.

Wolf Eyes carve away the meat.If you cant throb like Throbbing Gristle, don't bother.(ie: I likem lots) Great live, but I think I'd be more into seeing Violent Ramp. Skate or die

― brg30 (brg30), Friday, 18 October 2002 13:54 (10 years ago) Permalink

They are a mixed bag live. Opening for Sonic Youth recently and for Bobby Conn last year (?) they were great, powerful noisy stuff. The two other times I saw them they seemed a little directionless and were boring. And besides, the one time they had to play after the Animal Collective at a gallery in Detroit and they couldn't come anywhere near the genius of those guys that night. Seen them in various solo set-ups and it was mixed as well.

― Jeff Sumner, Friday, 18 October 2002 15:06 (10 years ago) Permalink

and the total geek in me can't help but mention that 7,000,000 ^2 is 49,000,000,000,000 .... 49 trillion?

probably more people than there ever existed.

oh i'm a geek,

With The Locust and Arab on Radar, they were really good live. I can see how some people would get bored, but that kind of stuff keeps my attention.

― A Nairn (moretap), Friday, 18 October 2002 15:58 (10 years ago) Permalink

I picked up the split 12" with Andrew WK today--found it cheap at a local shop and heard it was out of print, so I figured I'd snatch it up. Not bad stuff at all. Some of it sounds a little tame, and I haven't really sat down and analyzed the lyrics yet...

But it makes me want to pick up more. Probably the "Dread" CD or the "Fuck Pete Larsen" LP since I've seen both of those around and mailorder is a hassle sometimes.

Can anyone tell me what exactly is on the "FPL" LP? I've heard that it's a compilation but what of? Cassette releases? Singles? Comp tracks?

― Ian Johnson (orion), Friday, 18 October 2002 20:38 (10 years ago) Permalink

Great great great live show, and I know zilch about their field of clatter...

― Pete Scholtes, Friday, 18 October 2002 20:41 (10 years ago) Permalink

the FPL LP is just two sides of droning noise - side B is the asscrusher, starting out with some nice shrieking and clattering.

Has anyone heard the two CDs that American Tapes currently has? Interminable Bleeding and Strangulation Tank. I'm a bit wary of ordering them, only because I know nothing about them. I could end up with two hours of crap.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Monday, 11 November 2002 15:40 (10 years ago) Permalink

most of the wolf eyes stuff on amtapes is poorly recorded pots and pans banging and synth bleats. and yelling. i'm not insulting it, btw, i really like most of it. american tapes releases are frequently 'mixed' by john olson (ex-universal indians, currently in wolf eyes), which involves an old noisy tape delay, some razor blade editing and letting the tapes marinate in basement filth until they sound like melted flexi discs played at 16 rpm.

there are some really great releases on am tapes (yellow eyes, the universal indians LPs, dr. gretchen's musical weightlifting program) but they can be an endurance test if you're not 'feeling it.'

and if anyone has "thrist of the worm"...i'm up for a trade.

Has anyone heard Dead Hills yet? I've seen it at the store and pondered picking it up.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Sunday, 8 December 2002 16:37 (10 years ago) Permalink

Well Ian, Dead Hills sounds like some of my unreleased demos in the very extreme parts. There's a lot of quiet parts with a thumpy synth drum sound and lots of echoy noise and MITB-ish vocals. Every song has a thumping slow rhythm. The last song (of three), "Dead Tropics" is probably my favorite.

― Jonathan Williams (ex machina), Sunday, 22 December 2002 15:54 (10 years ago) Permalink

I enjoyed one of their songs, one of the times I've seen them. Otherwise I don't like them at all. (I seem to have inadvertantly seen them about a half-dozen times.)

― Dave Fischer, Sunday, 22 December 2002 16:54 (10 years ago) Permalink

"dead hills" pretty much sounds like "dread" part 2. long extended instrumental opener that, in my memory at least, features crickets chirping. two shorter songs with vocals a la "dread". running time, 23 minutes. worth every penny.

there was also an american tapes 3" CDR called "dead hills" that seems to bear little (if any) relation to the troubleman release.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Thursday, 6 March 2003 01:49 (10 years ago) Permalink

Wolf Eyes' "Dread" is the perfect soundtrack for a Michigan winter. Whether you're digging a path to your car, driving on ice in a blinding snowstorm, walking against a freezing wind, or wrestling with cabin fever, you'll find that Wolf Eyes fit seamlessly into the moment. Their music paints a picture of a greasy mound of black snow slowly melting on a salt-stained sidewalk.

When the spring begins, and you feel fully awake for the first time in months, and you're walking around in short sleeves reaquainting yourself with leaves and grass and sunlight, then you might want to listen to some different music. Right now, though, "Dread" sounds perfect.

― EC, Thursday, 6 March 2003 06:14 (10 years ago) Permalink

picked up dead hills yesterday and it's reet, very throbbing gristle very bleek and industrial, nice RPG allusions a la every fucking US hardcore group out, nice skull art work reminds me of a skate board i used to have

what label is dread on?

― schnell schnell, Tuesday, 18 March 2003 14:04 (10 years ago) Permalink

It's a split release between Bulb, Hanson and American Tapes. Should still be available. It's a motherfucker.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 18 March 2003 14:23 (10 years ago) Permalink

I played Wolf Eyes (a tape of a track from 'Dread') for two friends who haven't heard much noise before. We had just smoked a lot of pot. One of them was unable to move and commented that he felt like monkeys were beating his skull in. It was pretty funny.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 14:40 (10 years ago) Permalink

the "dread" cd is 'on' bulb. the "dread" lp is 'on' american tapes+hanson, according to the back of it anyway. more interestingly and less pedantically, the LP is being reissued soon for vinylists.

i have THE LP, damn you! THE ORIGINAL VINYL! MY CRED = UNASSAILABLE.

incidentally, anyone who uses soulseek should look for the live 11.15.01 video and audio by wolf eyes, it's fucking great. as are the two CDRs ("half dogs" aka olson mix and untitled aka dilloway mix) i've seen around.

i only got my "nardcore" jones as a youngster from rodney bingenheimer bootleg tapes that i'd buy via mailorder...

aside from scared straight, ill repute's "clean cut american kid" was the most memorable of all those tracks.

[funny thing, dilloway would love this thread now]

the wolf eyes side project violent ramp is pretty much riding the vibe of some of the nardcore "local apocalypse" action that comes through.

when i lived in ventura, i surfed hollywood-by-the-sea and silver strand a few times and never felt that heavy local scene that was infamous in the 80s.

Tan as Fuck played the other night with the Dutchies (who I think they're touring with), myself, Noise Nomads and Japanese Karaoke Afterlife Experiment. They ruled. Noisy/droney/jazzy stuff. I'm not sure how much of it was improv and how much was written, but it was quite fun. Loud drones building to crescendos, jazzy drumming, sometimes bass or guitar. Totally cool in my book.

Wow,....So I just found this...and it's funny, cuz that thing about To live and Shave that was posted like two years ago, that yer'all talkin about was not posted by me...Anyone that knows me could tell you just by the writing that that was not me...funny though. I will say that the first To Live and Shave CD is probably my favorite recording of the 90's. But I did not even know about this board until like a week ago. Someone was using my name. Also, it is flattering to see all the nice things said about Wolf Eyes...We are a mess, but I'm glad that some of ya'll dig it.

Listening to the Wolf Eyes "w/ Spikes" CD, it begins really boring, droning, typical Wolf Eyes shit. They start to add synths and more noise . Then suddenly Nate's vocals come in PERFECTLY clear and unexpected on one side of the headphones. He makes some totally weird noises that sound more like some of the vocal sounds that Black Dice would sue before beginnning stuff with actual lyrics. Ocassionally there is some vut up bit of onamonapeia from him, as the band thumps and drones away.

Liking this so far. Its now in a break where the pulse has stopped and there's all kinds of paper ripping noises.

I have "Mugger" and one that they did with Black Dice. It's very noisy with a few ambient bits but mostly unlistenable noise. That said it was quite cool strolling around a market town in the British sunshine whilst listening to it. Is this stuff typical of what they do? Sometimes I do wonder what the appeal is here and how much one should take this kind of music seriously?

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:38 (9 years ago) Permalink

I haven't heard Mugger, but the Black Dice collaboration is fairly atypical for them.

Yeah, the Black Dice collab was a lot more restrained than I thought it would be. I like it, though. Anyone else hear their Recycled Music cassette? At one point it sounds like the hull of ship breaking up.

Mugger is kind of atypical for them.. they usually have a lot more dynamic variation; Mugger tends to be ALL LOUD, ALL THE TIME, if I remember correctly.

The recyceld cassette is great too!

The Lost Sockets 3" that came out recently on Chondritic isn't as thrilling. I think I've only listened to it once or twice since I got it.

from the Polyamory mailing list, if anyone's interested:

'released' today on Polyamory:

WOODEN WAND & TOVAH D DAY
"Bad News Bearers" cassette

Bad News Bearers is a very special release in that it commemorates the very first released one-on-one collaboration between Polyamory co-founders / best friends Wooden Wand and Tovah D Day. It took nearly ten years, but here it is.

Fans of Tovah's other band Dead Machines will be happy to hear that the future Mrs.Olson is definitely the captain of this particluar ship, her cracked electronics, pitch-fucked cymbal sputter and lonely wolf calls taking center stage, while Wooden Wand augments with ring modulator, voice and percussion. Our favorite Polyamory release since A Cut Above!

Hayes Electronics stocks and sells a particular brand of microcomputer. It costs the firm $450 each time it places an order with the manufacturer for the microcomputers. The cost of carrying one microcomputer in inventory for a year is $170. The store manager estimates that total annual demand for the computers will be 1,200 units, with a constant demand rate throughout the year. Orders are received within minutes after placement from a local warehouse maintained by the manufacturer. The store policy is to never have stockouts of the microcomputers. The store is open for business every day of the year except Christmas Day. Determine the following:

a. Optimal order quantity per order

b. Minimum total annual inventory costs

c. The optimum number of orders per year

d. The optimum time between orders (in working days)

*Artist: DEMOS YELLOW SWANS
Title: Live In The Police State Capitol
Format: LP
Label: Weird Forest
Country: USA
Price: $13.00
"Im extremely honored to release this one-sided twelve-inch by one of my favorite bands, D. Yellow Swans. 1/4" Tape, Guitar, Voice, Drum Machines, Microphones, Mixer Feedback, Various Electronics and Two Wonderful Fellas (formerly of Mur*der and Boxleitner) from San Francisco-via-Portland who craft Wolf Eyes-style pieces that build up to mammoth walls of noise via keyboards, guitars, processors, etc. This record is live recordings from Sacramento and Arcata, circa fall 2003. Theyve collaborated with Dead Science in the past, as well as sharing the stage with Nice Nice, Burning Star Core, Wives, and oodles of others - just so ya know where these guys are coming from. Forthcoming releases on Narnack, Deathbombarc, and gobs more. They improvise off each other to create the mesmeric, volatile yet controlled chaos of electronic sear, rasp and burn. Full spectrum tonality, sonic exploration, the opening of new doors of perception, spiritual journey, and the establishment of new, Â meaningful shared cultural experience in the tradition of folk and native musics from around the globe invoking Freedom, Happiness, Love, and the sharing and incitement of these feelings in others. Positivity. Total Liberation. Limited to 500 copies." - Weird Forest.

Perhaps kind of silly, but not necessarily bad - see Merzbow and Borbetomagus, for instance. What I've heard of Wolf Eyes ("Dead Hills" mostly) is good in much the same way as those bands are - the absurdity inherent in extreme music is one of its virtues.

you shouldn't listen to the gratedul dead for a ROCK experience the way you do with Sabbath. For that you should see the dead live where Jerry's licks flow like wine. . . .

"wolf eyes rules" is still my favourite track, but somebody said that the entire thing was andrew wk's work instead of being a rmx - any help from the noize dude contingent?

Wolf Eyes LIVE on the other hand is as ROCK an experience as you may get these days.

5 months pass...

I have never heard Wolf Eyes. They are playing in Glasgow on Saturday. Should I see them? I suppose I'm asking people who know what I like, but I don't know who that is. Me?

It's the best rave and death metal show you've ever been to all in one giant charlie horse from your older cousin.

(Yes)

I do not think that you will like them.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 18:36 (8 years ago) Permalink

yes, he's right!

No really, Alba - you WON'T like them.

― European Samuel Glickstein (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 18:40 (8 years ago) Permalink

And I DO like them, I just don't think you will.

Hi! I like Grime and wear funny pants.

I only have one pair of "pants"! They're jeans, just jeans.

but back to the topic at hand, i'm not sure if I condone the current line-up of Wolf Eyes mk. III.

Never mind Wolf Eyes - Tony Conrad is on the same bill.

does Tony Conrad have t-shirts with skulls on them?

current Wolf Eyes line-up = no Dilloway? I don't think he's playing the Glasgow show...

I see that the CCA website is listing the Saturday gig as Tony Conrad's 'first UK Show' - utter bollox, cos I saw Conrad/Faust in London maybe ten years ago now? it was OK, but I'm more excited abt catching Double Leopards on the same bill - I contrived to miss most of their set at the SY ATP last year (I was watching Saccahrine Trust upstairs and they were great too, in their way)

I don't think Alba will like Wolf Eyes either

― Andrew J L, Wednesday, 20 April 2005 20:56 (8 years ago) Permalink

Double Leopards are great. Wolf Eyes lineup = no Dilloway, but Mike Connelly from Hair Police. I wasn't really into it when I saw them.

Don't forget to bring your noise chain so you can chime in with the band's pretty melodies.

hasselt, belgium. 25th of june: Wolf Eyes + Sunn O))) *drools*

that's a bill tighter than a pair of glamrock spandex
