*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.

anyone? anyone?

I have the split 3" with Gang Wizard. I think the D Yellow Swans track is like them playing acoustic guitars and yelling in either a men's or women's bathroom. Maybe that's what the Gang Wizard side sounds like too. In any case it's pretty good.

They played in Prov. with Kites and I was told it was good, but I wasn't there myself.

Gygax, do you say that you "prefer the early stuff" by every band ever or am I imagining things?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 01:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Anyway, I really like Wolf Eyes.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 01:46 (nineteen years ago) link

What is the noisiest noise that Wolf Eyes ever recorded? I am writing an essay about noise (kind of)!

It's the one that went ccrcrccrrstrcaytsccsdatycaveoooooooow!!!...and then went all quiet before doing it again about a minute and a half later.

The title of the song has "Maggot" or "Freak" in it.

yeah, exactly!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 04:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Wolf Eyes isn't really particularly "noisy"

Extreme SUPER LOUD wall of sound noise mostly bores me and is pretty trivial to make

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

You will hate my essay, Jon!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 05:19 (nineteen years ago) link

(I've been thinking of you often during its composition.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 05:19 (nineteen years ago) link

(What do I know about noise after all!)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 05:20 (nineteen years ago) link

i ate a twix just now

― Free the Bee (ex machina), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 05:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Musicians in my essay so far that I call "noise": John Cage, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Dizzee Rascal, PJ Harvey, My Bloody Valentine, Ornette Coleman, Sonic Youth, Lil Jon, Neu!, Daft Punk.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 05:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I like all those artists!

― Free the Bee (ex machina), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 05:23 (nineteen years ago) link

if you wanna understand wolf eyes, you need to understand DUB

i bought "stabbed in the face" and now really wish i hadn't

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 05:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Why not, esoj? i managed to not get that when it was in stores around here, but i really like burned mind; is there something about it that makes it weaker than other recent WE material (including dread/slicer/dead hills/any random whatever)?

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 05:19 (nineteen years ago) link

well i'm perhaps overstating the case but i'm yet to be convinced it's my sort of thing. i suck as a noize dude.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 05:21 (nineteen years ago) link

oh, that's fair totally--they're not everyone's cup of tea. i'm still kind of curious (in a bizarre fetishistic sort of way) about what you don't like about it, and wolf eyes in general. i fear i don't remember sometimes.

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 05:35 (nineteen years ago) link

I love them now. Opposite of my post upthread.

FreeBee, "I 'Get' Wolf Eyes" = OTM

― Nancy Boy (scottkundla), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 09:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Jon ex-machina, it is with British pride that I announce that Wolf Eyes are on the front cover of The Wire magazine.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 15:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Does anyone in Britain actually read the Wire?

― sometimes i like to pretend i am very small and warm (ex machina), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 15:44 (nineteen years ago) link

me and 15,000 + ? others

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 15:50 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm told all you guys do is listen to the Libertines and suck.....

― sometimes i like to pretend i am very small and warm (ex machina), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 16:02 (nineteen years ago) link

ha, jon check my blog - i was the first person on the web to critically attack the libertines before they even released anything.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 16:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Music that tries really hard to be scary is kind of silly.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 16:06 (nineteen years ago) link

unless it works really fucking well.

Taking Sides: Tangerine Dream vs. Wolf Eyes

They're pretty good, but I bet there's no Phaedra.
