AARON DILLOWAY & C. SPENCER YEH - 'The Squid' CD (Hanson Records)
Reissue of the 2007 LP (Hanson Records). Aaron Dilloway (ex-Wolf Eyes) & C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) recorded live to 4-track cassette in the summer of 2006 in Ann Arbor. Dilloway uses tape loops, tape delay, bowed tape and vocals and Yeh uses violin, voice and electronics. Heavy, psychedelic, noisy and expansive. This CD version includes a bonus track collage of the 3 tracks from the duo's out of print False Speech cassette. Digipak.
The second in the series of super-limited 10”s from cincinnati’s basement noise terrorist C. Spencer Yeh. Where "Amelia" showed Yeh’s sensitive side, "WSBC/SSS" goes straight for the jugular with pure distorted punk noise, all rampant high end and a growling analogue core. However what sets Yeh away from so many of his contemporaries is that beneath all the hellish distortion and crushing doom is a sense of harmony and pastoral perfection. It’s not often in noise music that you get this kind of intense-yet-measured collision, but Yeh manages to pull it off magnificently resulting in a 10” which crosses genre boundaries in the most punk-rock fashion imaginable. Features special exclusive artwork from Wolf Eyes’ John Olson!

KIM CASCONE - 'The Knotted Constellation (Fourteen Rotted Coordinates' CD (Monotype Records)
"The Knotted Constellation" is a cinematic sound narrative that moves the listener through a series of auditory fields. Each field is separated with 'digital black' thereby framing or bracketing the 'rotted coordinates' - each one a point on a decayed map of a dystopian sound-scape. This release is an admixture of field recordings from around the world, surreal collage techniques and synthetic sounds derived from digital audio tools 'The Knotted Constellation' allows the listener to lose themselves in the territory and not merely the map of their darkest imagination. Features contributions by C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core), Darius Čiuta and Guido Henneböhl amongst others. Digipak.
MIKE SHIFLET & DANIEL MENCHE - 'Stalemate' CD (Sonoris)
Mike Shiflet is one of the most interesting artists of the new US noise scene. He ran the Gameboy label and has worked with C. Spencer Yeh / Burning Star Core, Brendan Murray, Francisco Meirino / Phroq & many others. Daniel Menche is recognized since late 80s as a major figure of the experimental music world, exploring the fringe between noise and drone in a heavy and organic way. For 20 years Daniel Menche has harvested a vast discography of solo and collaborations. "Stalemate", the first collaborative work between these two prolific American artists, is based on Hammond organ sounds and electronics. The result is a heavy body of work - a powerful drone based music with densely textured sounds and some deep bass that'll make your walls shake. Presented in a 6-panel outsize sleeve.
Wolf Eyes embellish the cover of the 7th edition of UK mag Rock-A-Rolla, and are also interviewed along with Lasse Marhaug (Jazzkammer), Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple), Yellow Swans, KK Null, Burning Star Core, Æethenor and Made Out Of Babies. Issue 7 also features a rather good article on the influential Sub Pop label, and includes the usual vast array of music, DVD and live reviews. Always highly recommended!
