Universal Eyes (Universal Indians & Wolf Eyes) ‎– Four Variations On 'Artificial Society' cd

It was sad to hear that Jim Baljo is no longer a member of Wolf Eyes; his guitar terror was a great addition in recent Wolf Eyes albums; that said, Nate Young and John Olson still keep it real as a duo. In this new shit, they work together with Universal Indians, an early 90s group that featured John Olson, Aaron Dilloway and Gretchen Gonzales-Davidson, so in fact it's like Wolf Eyes together with Dilloway again plus an associate of theirs. Here they go even deeper into jazz territory, with Olson blasting awesome sax screams all over the place. Nate Young doesn't sing at all, but he is handling awesome terrifying electronics with Gonzales-Davidson, while Dilloway evokes some awesome heavy terror drones. Great improvisational music with a nice percussion touch and generous vibes of 1970s psychedelic kosmische music; as if you expected something less than awesome by these guys. 2018 cd on Lower Floor.

Wolf Eyes - Strange Days II 12"

After the incredibly bleak Undertow album this year, the Wolves return with this two-track vinyl that continues their descent into increasingly esoteric worlds. The first track is a combination of Throbbing Gristle-like electronic pulses and ritualistic swirling flutes. The second track is a duel between John Olson's sax and Jim Baljo's buzzsaw guitar that takes no prisoners. Perhaps the only thing missing from here is the lifeless vocals and unnerving lyrics that Nate Young has been offering us lately. 2017 12" on Lower Floor.
