History
Wolf Eyes began as a solo project of former
Nautical Almanac member Nate Young, with
Aaron Dilloway joining in 1998, and John Olson in 2000.
[1]. The group has released over 100 recordings in their relatively short lifespan, on labels such as Bulb Records, Troubleman Unlimited, Fusetron, and
Sub Pop, as well as on Olson's American Tapes label, Dilloway's
Hanson Records, Mike Connelly's Gods of Tundra label and Nate Young's AA Records. Connelly (also of
Hair Police) replaced Dilloway in early 2005, due to the latter's departure for Nepal to make arrangements for his marriage.
Dilloway is no longer an active member of the group but he did some production work on their 2006
Sub Pop album
Human Animal
.
[2] and has performed with them on at least two occasions (Empty Bottle Chicago, IL 2/25/2006 and No Fun Fest Brooklyn, NY 3/18/2006). John Olson also performs in Dead Machines with his wife Tovah Olson. Nate Young performs solo as Hatred and with Steve Kenney and Alivia Zivich in the visual music group Demons.
Wolf Eyes' first two major tours were with
Sonic Youth and
Andrew W.K. They have also collaborated with
Anthony Braxton.
Distribution
Most Wolf Eyes recordings are self-released, following the DIY tradition of bands such as
Smegma.
Their first major release was
Dread
, released on the American Tapes and Hanson Records labels but distributed through
Bulb Records. Other major releases include
Dead Hills
on
Troubleman Unlimited as well as
Burned Mind
and
Human Animal
on
Sub Pop. Most Wolf Eyes recordings are released as either lathe cuts, cassettes, or CD-rs.
