Wolf Eyes - I Am A Problem: Mind in Pieces

Review by Benjamin Bland

Weird, wonderful and moderately imposing. Wolf Eyes remain a band to treasure»

Having eschewed the 'noise' moniker to describe their sound in favor of the self-proclaimed 'Trip Metal', Wolf Eyes are at the forefront of a wide-ranging, experimental, impossible-to-categorize world. With over 500 releases since their inception in 1997, the group has been lauded by Thurston Moore, Henry Rollins and countless other stoned basement malcontents. With previous full-lengths on labels like Sub Pop and Troubleman, 'I Am a Problem: Mind in Pieces' is their debut release for Third Man Records and signals an ever-so-slight shift with the appearance of guitar and even drums. 'I Am a Problem' is as much a classic Wolf Eyes record as no one would've ever predicted such a pulverizing left-turn at this juncture of their career. This is social audio dissent. description from www.roughtrade.com
