2009 CD reissue of (ex-Wolf Eyes) Aaron Dilloway's "Chain Shot" LP (2007). 'With only tape loops, metal, and horns (and sometimes, it seems, metal on horns) the two long pieces, 'Chain Shot' and 'Execution Dock' respectively, explore the ugly underbelly of noise before just scraping right through and aiming for the insides. In a genre that has quickly turned into a broad and often inaccurate description of a certain breed of every-man experimental music, Dilloway sticks to the old-fashioned definition of noise, doing battle with the materials in front of him as he continues the construction of his impressive body of work" (Ear Conditioned Nightmare). Contains a 28 minute bonus track. Digipak.
TONAL Y NAGUAL - 'The Hidden Oasis' CD (Thonar Records)
The second album from Bavarian folk / Neofolk outfit Tonal Y Nagual, also members of Jagerblut. "The Hidden Oasis" features 17 more melodious and sombre songs in the darkfolk, chanson and ballad genre, mixed with some unexpected twists and turns. Digipak with booklet.
WOLF EYES With JOHN WIESE - 'Collection' CD (Hanson Records)
A collection of the Wolf Eyes with John Wiese 7" plus two EPs originally released in very limited editions on American Tapes in 2003-04. Digitally re-mastered by Wiese and finally available all together! "Combined into one ugly genetic mishap and flesh hacked covered package by Aaron Dilloway's Hanson label, this is a disintegrated release full of blossoming black sounds... The sheer breadth of textures and styles that they have used is nothing short of astounding... Scattered between exploring inner worlds and blowing-out corneas through riotous frequency changes, this is the place where digits are bent from their 0 and 1 roots into self-adapting cyborg sinews. Elements like stuck groove bell work, tape machine cloud cover and delicate looped horns seem like perfectly constructed movements, musical conclusions of thirty minutes of sweaty improv work". (Brainwashed)
