I don't quite remember how I ever stumbled upon Wolf Eyes, or why I decided on "Human Animal" as my first album from this wild group of entropic sound blasters, but I know for sure that my interest in their offerings is starting to grow at an exponential rate now that I've had a taste of their work!
My ears were glued to this album from start to finish, with unexpected surprises and psychedelic entities lurking around every mangled corner. I had no idea that their sound was so full-bodied until I had it spinning in my record player. The samples I had heard online didn't really do proper justice to the full range of tones that Wolf Eyes has packed into this album. Before hearing it, the only real exposure I had to the noise scene was Sonic Youth, so I really hadn't anticipated the depth of rumbling bass tones, high-end hisses, and mid-range snarls that awaited me throughout. When you've got such brash noise being conveyed with such exceptional tonal clarity and fullness, it all makes for an extremely psychedelic listening experience. This is, without a doubt, my new favorite "dark psychedelic" album.
As an aside, it's worth noting that the bonus track entitled "Noise Not Music" does not exist anywhere on the vinyl release, despite Amazon's product description. Other than that, this record is a serious masterpiece of brilliant tones and cacophonous revelry. If a hint of bravery finds you, find this album!
