Wolf Eyes - Strange Days Ii - VINYL LP

Dave Robbins - Happy Faces [VINYL LP] date 03/21/2025

Dreams In Splattered Lines fuses together Wolf Eyes' 25 years of DIY electronics with the avant-garde sensibilities of Fluxus and the granite of dreary Midwestern life. Continuing some of the ideas explored on the Difficult Messages record of collaborations, the result is a surreal dreamscape of disorienting sound collages, where hit songs are transformed into terrariums of sonic flora and decimated fauna. As if pulled from a fever dream, the surrealists of the 1960s converge with alien electronic blues musicians in an underworld of mystery. The air is thick with car wash radio white noise, crackling and fizzing like a toxic elixir, spoken word poetry transmissions as absurd and cryptic phrases. Each corroded aural environment is a microcosm of chaos, honed to razor-sharp precision. Swept away in a whirlwind of thirteen perplexing narratives, each one an unpredictable journey through subterranean worlds, a sonic trip of reality folded into itself.A1.

Vinyl LP pressing. Times of chaos ring the bells for the newest sea-bottom R&B sound lurch from radical sonic artists Wolf Eyes. The 2017 Undertow finds the trio diving into new depths of the electronic and free jazz infected world. A world they created themselves from scratch, running over the course of two decades. Formed in 1996 in Detroit, MI, Wolf Eyes have recorded for Sub Pop, Troubleman Unlimited, de Stijl and most recently Jack White's Third Man tag, as well as their countless self-released documents of audio destruction and micro-run slabs of noise. The band has an insane history of collaborations, side projects and solo outputs. While staying consistently road-hardened they've shared stages with everyone from Sonic Youth to Anthony Braxton to Andrew W.K. to Aphex Twin to Morton Subotnick. The Wolf boys also continue to play gigs with all like-minded outsider stoner/loner freaks in the world's basements, from whence this beast originally emerged.
