Wolf Eyes

Michigan's Wolf Eyes are an institution within the American experimental music underground, constantly exploring new paths and pushing the boundaries of music and sound art. While most commonly categorized as a noise band, their always uncompromising work has ranged from rhythmic bangers approximating mutated industrial and broken electro to free-form improvisation sessions rooted in avant-garde jazz and modern composition. The impossibly prolific, fiercely D.I.Y. unit has released countless handmade recordings on their own imprints, but they've reached more listeners with well-distributed releases like 2004's Burned Mind. The group collaborated with major avant-garde figures like Anthony Braxton, Merzbow, and Richard Pinhas, and released one of their defining statements with 2013's No Answer: Lower Floors. I Am a Problem: Mind in Pieces (2015) touched on psychedelic rock influences, and 2023's Dreams in Splattered Lines offered short, dense collages of horns, electronics, and spoken word.
