In an effort to keep terrifying the ever-living-fuck out of every sentient being on the face of planet Earth with his unique and strangely compelling brand of noisy, eerie tape-loops; sound mangler-extraordinaire Aaron Dilloway has just unveiled his new album of…well, noisy, eerie tape-loops.

Dilloway’s latest Frankenstein patchwork of frenzied, nervous loops and tense, anxious whispers — which, by the way, somehow even manages to up the “spooky-ass-cover-art” ante on 2012’s Modern Jester — is charmingly entitled The Gag File, and it officially oozes out into our corporeal world on April 28 via Dais Records.

While we wait for that joyful day to arrive, though, we can all peer into the “intoxicated sense of depression” that pervades the album’s first single “Karaoke With Cal” — a wobbly, David Lynch-ian blues loop whose muffled and murky vocal incantations find the Svengali Dilloway “taking in the world’s problems and regurgitating them back in hopes of finding some enjoyment.” (Stream it for yourself down below, and watch those goosebumps…bump.)

More delightful news? You can pre-order the album right now (in limited editions of “100 copies on clear/blue swirl vinyl” or “400 copies on translucent light blue vinyl,” as well as standard black vinyl) so that you’re good and ready to soundtrack your filthy, makeshift, half-assed haunted house this year when Halloween comes.
