| last copies...
ah yes... this one’s a contender... a gorgeous milky-white split lp between current teen-titans wolf eyes (trio lineup of olson / connolly / young) and up-and-coming skandi-skorn unit skull defekts (here working as a duo of joachim “ideal / kid commando / alvars orkester” nordwall and henrik “traditional arrangements of feedback” rylander...)
wolf eyes side: mid-high oscillations encasing some fine, subtle sheet-metal/delay-pedal spazz-out... slowly the goat’s horns begin braying off in the distance before the bottom drops out and it’s all controlled feedback arc-gestures & the occasional click (are those... cd skips? on a record?) the word i would use to descrive the piece overall would have to be mellow - not one normally associated with w.e. but damn if it isn’t one of the most carefully considered bits in their discomnibus...
skull defekts side: an slown-down, almost dancehall “beat” opens the side with occassional harsh noise punctuations (in fact, if you play this at 45rpm you could probably mix it w/some bug riddims) - super minimal/repetitive & engrossing track, reminiscient of a noisier version of the first “various artists” 12” on fatcat. aside from the filtered feedback/noise, this really wouldn’t have been out of place on a mille plateaux lp ca. 1998. plus, i’m using conjecture to glom that the s.d. title is a loose lucier reference, and that’s never a bad signifier...
yes, it’s limited. yes, the wolf eyes side is good, especially if you’re feel the not-just-totally-full-on-harsh-noise phase they’re currently going through. yes the s.d. side is very good. yes, i have a good amount of copies; probably enough to last through the end of the summer (but these days; i’m getting less and less sure of my “predictive buying” abilities - 47 copies sold of the neon gallery marclay lp in one week anyone?) |

a dark split lp battle featuring noise gigants wolf eyes and experienced swedish newcomers the skull defekts. wolf eyes needs no further introduction, and neither would the skull defekts, had you already known the musical history of these men, ranging from union carbide productions and kid commando to alvars orkester, as well as anticimex, cortex, and lucky people center. hear feedback and rhythm merge and/or collide, slowly.
a recorded by wolf eyes.
