Wolf Eyes – Always Wrong CD
Hospital Productions
I’ve been a Wolf Eyes fan since they had their first release on Sub Pop and I’ve enjoyed many of their full-lengths while shying away from some of their more limited releases. Sometimes I’ve found they offer a mixed-bag but I am often surprised by them on their larger run releases as well as their excellent live assaults that I have witnessed.
Always Wrong marks a point where Wolf Eyes is ascending to the next level of what they do. The textures and arrhythmic qualities …

Peter J Woods – Fear C20+C9+C17
FTAM
Here’s a mammoth release from Milwaukee’s infamous noisemonger Peter J Woods. Immediately noticeable is the heavy conceptual element here. With classy “artsy” photographs, card inserts, abstract poetry and strangely manipulated spoken samples mixed throughout the release it’s clear the concept is of utmost importance.
The style is similar to what PJW has explored previously, an odd mixture of noise, electroacoustic, and power electronics. Tape I Side A is a quieter piece with crinkling and off kilter audio artifacts which build to a quick noise attack right …

Anasazi (New York, NY)
Anasazi – Bone Collector
Deranged and violent Post-PUNK from New York City. A tribal disaster the ancestors would hate… Anasazi, who’ve suddenly surfaced over the past 2 years, play hateful hymns for happy people. Crucially conflicted, controversially cannibalistic: Ancient Pueblan-Wave at its best.

Dekoder (Montreal, Canada)
Dekoder – Hate Song
Dekoder began in the spring of 2010 as a side projects of other bands (Complications). Members either left their other bands and some just disbanded focusing more on Dekoder and eventually recorded …

Husere Grav – s/t CDR
Small Doses
This is an older release that’s been lurking in my review pile for quite some time. Somehow though, I’ve always been drawn to the artwork with its grey hopeless imagery and classy handmade style.
With 11 untitled tracks and 50 minutes this is certainly a full-length and a solid release. What Husere Grav seems to specialize in is ambient/drone with a noisy edge, all guitar based. Luckily the guitar isn’t overly apparent and its treated tastefully at all times. With the opening track it is clear …
