Wolf Eyes No Answer: Lower Floors

(De Stijl)
Since this well-established Michigan noise trio has put out over a hundred recordings, I wasn’t sure how fresh they’d sound on their latest full-length. As it turns out, No Answer: Lower Floors is probably Wolf Eyes’ most mature work to date, demonstrating their skills at sculpting stark minimalism with both electronic and analog manipulation. Rather than resorting to an assault of exclamatory shock-noise, they settle on an enticingly unappetizing concoction of numbing desolation to capture a mood similar to that of a basement dilapidated with vermin and corpses.  “Choking Flies,” for example, starts the album with a droning drum loop soon joined by wailing saxophone and a cloak of electronic dread with doubled-up monotone vocals. The twelve-minute “Confessions of the Informer” is another favorite, with brooding waves of subtle beats, shrill sax, chopped-up vocals, and more burning slowly in pitch darkness.

Thee Spivs The Crowds and The Sounds

(Damaged Goods)
Named after a British slang word for petty criminals dealing with black market goods, the now-disbanded London trio Thee Spivs had a sunny style reminiscent of 70s punk, garage and pub rock. Their third and final album The Crowds and The Sounds is a little over half-an-hour of catchy, melodic mid-tempo songs touching on several relatable themes. “Social Network” explores the peculiarities of using Facebook (“I need to be noticed, but I still need to hide”) and another track talks about the tough reality of an unexpected life “Straight Out of Art School.” Another highlight for me is the poignant acoustic closer “Mozart’s Locked Away,” paying tribute to anyone who tried to achieve goals and recognition but fell short.
