NATE YOUNG
is a founding member of seminal Detroit noise band Wolf Eyes. More
recently he's been honing an equally distinctive solo sound that blends
myriad sources from musique concrète, vintage film atmospherics, layered
synths and archive library recordings into something thrillingly
intense. Summoning up crushingly ominous crepuscular soundscapes and
synth-washed phantasmagoria, Young undercuts the brutalism of Wolf Eyes
with the kind of ambient dread that conjures images of lost horror
soundtracks from the 70's. Minimal analogue synth violence is punctuated
by thunder cracks of metal percussion ala the early Akita/Null Merzbow
duets, massively doomy beat hypnotics and an atmosphere that's somewhere
between the most apocalyptic Throbbing Gristle recordings. This
February sees the release of ‘Dilemmas of Identity’, volume one in a new
multi-part series of solo releases from Young for Lower Floor Music.
These songs were commonly made as a distraction from grief, seasonal
depression and isolation. Sometimes severely ridiculous and unrelenting,
other times slow, sparse and strange.
JOHN R. SPYKES
aka Inzane Johnny of Wolf Eyes and American Tapes will be treating us
to a solo slice from his mind platter, featuring damaged rippers and
modulations galore. As a part of Wolf Eyes, John Olson is responsible
for augmenting the USA's longest-running homemade, primitive,
electronic, poetry & radical vibes trio. They don't just release
albums they launch scotched, taped nuclear audio fronts on humanity.
Spykes is a project Olson has visited many times since its inception in
1999, constantly unearthing new sounds from the same old grey feelings
of Midwestern winters inside. Absolute free jams promised, firing on all
cylinders, a warped madness of atomised sonics.https://soundcloud.com/john-olson-14/john-r-spykes-january-hangs-onto-nothing-one
