for so long people talked shit on wolf eyes and thier scene, "poor quality control" blah blah. But if you ask me, those guys are keeping american noise interesting. every label (american, hanson, aa, gods of tundra) has an aesthetic and uses interesting art and packaging.
its been easy to forget about wierd drone and harsh noise and static and cutup and musique concrete and all that because there has been so many great fucking ROCK music as of late. I think everyone on here is a rock music first' experimental second. But, I need to switch it up once in a while, and even though I've been spinning the hank IV full length non stop, there's still been plenty of cock esp tapes in my boombox as well.
