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

European Samuel Glickstein (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 18:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Darkness again, me, Wednesday, 20 April 2005 18:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi! I like Grime and wear funny pants.

European Samuel Glickstein (ex machina), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 18:47 (eighteen years ago) link

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

European Samuel Glickstein (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 18:48 (eighteen years ago) link

gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 20:24 (eighteen years ago) link

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

gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 20:25 (eighteen years ago) link

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

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 20:26 (eighteen years ago) link

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

The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 20:28 (eighteen years ago) link

do Wolf Eyes wear fedora's?

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 20:34 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

Ian John50n (orion), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 20:58 (eighteen years ago) link

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

Yngwie AlmsteenMay (sgertz), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 21:09 (eighteen years ago) link

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

rizzx (rizzx), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 21:13 (eighteen years ago) link

wolf eyes and Sunn O))) playing in SF the day AFTER I leave = total massive dud

superultramega (superultramarinated), Thursday, 21 April 2005 01:38 (eighteen years ago) link

rizzx (rizzx), Thursday, 21 April 2005 07:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm most excited about double leopards.

cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 21 April 2005 09:57 (eighteen years ago) link

cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 21 April 2005 09:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Will you bring the blanket?

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 21 April 2005 10:01 (eighteen years ago) link

i noticed promo copies of the new one on sub pop are already on ebay, so i figure someone has heard it already. thoughts?

fffnnnsss (fffnnnsss), Saturday, 5 August 2006 04:55 (seventeen years ago) link

it's on slsk already as well. heard it once, liked it. need to listen more to form some kind of solid opinion on it of course you know yeah

rizzx (Rizz), Saturday, 5 August 2006 09:46 (seventeen years ago) link

the one track i heard, "The Driller" was pretty cool

latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 5 August 2006 09:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Picked up the "Driller" / "Psychogeist" 12-inch this past weekend. It's excellent. Driller is, I guess, the hit. It's compact, with shrieky vocals and something almost approximating a melody. In context, I mean...

"Psychogeist," on the other hand, is an extended, ambient drone. Has some clangorous elements but overall, it's very subdued. Wolf Eyes dub. Both songs, actually, are rather relaxed in feel. Kinda nice, even. Definitely lacking the ear-drilling, bowel-clenching panic of Dead Hills & Burned Mind. More hypnotic than terror-inducing, and very much of a piece with the recent River Slaughter dbl LP. Massive trumpet squalls in the foreground, though often mutated almost beyond recognition.

True to form, it's all very cinematic, suggesting a railroad yard in darkness or an abandoned highway overpass. Occasional muted smears of red and green light in the distance. Wind over steel and concrete, hung machinery and patient rust. Cars and engines sweeping through but never stopping. You know: textbook industrial noir, and I'm still surprised haven't been tapped to do more soundtrack work. (Maybe they have and aren't interested. Dunno...)

Are they retreating, or moving forward? Hard to say, but the recent, Dilloway-free material does sound more similar to the Wolf Eyes of Slicer and the early singles and CD-Rs than to the "Slayer-influenced" sounds of 2004-05 (which came off more like a lo-fi, scuzzcore Skinny Puppy, anyway).

Great stuff, but I can't imagine this is gonna widen their fan base much...

Adam Beales (Pye Poudre), Monday, 7 August 2006 12:53 (seventeen years ago) link

the album is more ambient/droney than i expected, but then Driller and Noise Not Music bring on the "ear-drilling"

pinder (pinder), Monday, 7 August 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

sooooo 2003?

=[[ (eman), Monday, 7 August 2006 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I went to a bar b q at one of these guy's house

filthy dylan, Saturday, 26 July 2008 04:46 (fifteen years ago) link

filthy dylan, do you live in ypsilanti?

Pillbox, Saturday, 26 July 2008 13:41 (fifteen years ago) link

Detroit, but it was in ypsilanti. Also, a while back Wolf Eyes did an installation at an art gallery and they showed all these records they made on their personal lathe including this chunk of vinyl that had two intersecting grooves and looked like an infiniti sign. It was pretty cool

filthy dylan, Saturday, 26 July 2008 14:23 (fifteen years ago) link

Fucking dreadful.

littlewhiteearbuds, Saturday, 26 July 2008 14:33 (fifteen years ago) link

their best proper LP = dread.
Second post in this thread, six years ago. Still true. And I still dig what they were doing circa Dead Hills/Burned Mind. Not so much since.

contenderizer, Saturday, 26 July 2008 17:06 (fifteen years ago) link

dead hills is excellent, and such a beautiful picture disc
