Wolf Eyes announce tour, share new video, make mix for The Fader, shred the gnar

Wolf Eyes shred the gnar. “That’s not all they shred!” is something you could say, in reference to the Michigan noise act’s violent, lacerating sound. While that is true — even if their new album No Answer: Lower Floors on De Stijl opts for a slower, tenser approach — Wolf Eyes are now also shredding the gnar. Witness them shredding aforementioned gnar in their new video for “Born Liar” at NPR, the web’s foremost Wolf Eyes fansite. In fact, the video features shredding of both the gnar and musical variety. Not safe for shred-averse viewers.

While not shredding, the boys of Wolf Eyes spend their time making mixes for anyone they damn well want to make mixes for. This is a list that includes The Fader, who recently commissioned a mix from the group. Only, when Wolf Eyes came up with a mix, it wasn’t so much a mix as it was a 17-minute original piece called “Lower Drolls.” If we’re to get technical about it, it’s hard to define that as a mix, mainly on the grounds of possessing no qualities that would make something a mix. Evidently, Wolf Eyes are also shredding the concept of a mix into tiny pieces. Listen to that “mix” over at The Fader.

In order to shred more gnar/sound/concepts, Wolf Eyes must hit the road. As such, they are hitting the road this September for roughly a dozen dates spanning both North America and Europe. Admittedly, it’s mostly North America, but they are fitting a few European dates in there. Sadly, you can’t shred everywhere at once.
