This my "dj review" of this (great!) album:
Wolf Eyes. The same freaky label that brought us Quintron lays another fine specimen on us. Way wacked noisy synths, minimal rhythms but lots o’ noise. “Vocals” are heavily treated, flange-phased and low in the mix. Righteous stuff. For fans of Quintron, Culturcide, Caroliner, old noisy Cab Voltaire. 1) ca. 2 min electronic synth noise intro breaks into mechanical electro beat w/ noisy buried vocs 2) very slow electrobeat w/ random synth bursts buried heavily treated vocs 3) mid-upbeat electro feel lots of treatments 4) big beat drum machine, cleaner electronics but still noisy as all hell 5) slower, minimal 6) very slow casio beat, min organ and electro smatterings, “vocs” 7) rhythmic, heavy guit, this one actually rocks in a fucked up sludgy way 8) excellent lo-fi: noise, vocs/synth based, brief 9) slow simple beat, high range painful noisy synths, buried vocs come in 10) simple upbeat, dirty guit and vocs up in mix, still noisy 11) quick blippy loopy harsh synth noises, beats appear, disappear, totally schitzo 12) slow twisted organish noisefest 13) upbeat electro-noise, poppy 14) noise fest w/ voice, harsh and synthy 15) slow-mid simple beat w/ overdriven lo-end synth and loopy blippy synths and harsh vocs
