since wolf eyes formation during the end of the 90s up until today, their musical output has grown into an impressive oeuvre and gained them successes granted only a few bands. their style places them somewhere in the border area between experimental music, freeform, noise and harsh industrial. "black wing over the sand" is one long session (on vinyl divided on side a and b) that from the very first beginning lays bare the roots of wolf eyes: here is an evident presence of the industrial music of the early 1980s with bands such as throbbing gristle, maurizio bianchi (mb) and gary mundy’s cassette label broken flag.
instead of the harsh dissonances and compact walls of noise wolf eyes are well known for, the wholly instrumental piece moves slowly forward over a basis of silence. in that way black wing over the sand belongs to one of the band’s more accessible pieces of music, and is an excellent introduction to the dark cosmos of wolf eyes. with oscillating movements, wolf eyes conjure up short bursts of noise with screaming high pitched tones where a rhythmic deep and slow bass soon sets in, disappears, returns, increases pace, disappears and returns again. electric guitar, echo effects and sweeping sounds creates powerfully nerved effects over the slow rhythm.
black wing over the sand is yet another proof of how wolf eyes, simultaneously looking backwards and distinctly lets themselves be influenced by the hidden musical undercurrents that lies most close to their heart, with little means and creative craftsmanship succeeds in creating something altogether new, exciting and always unexpected.
black wing over the sand, now released on vinyl (limited to 900 copies) and shortly on cd, is a co- release from kning disk and ideal recordings. the album cover and inner sleeves features art illustration by andreas nilsson, fredrik söderberg och alivia zivich. |
