AARON DILLOWAY - BAD DREAMS, CD, 2005, PACREC/TRONIKS RECORDS, USA
It's an Aaron Dilloway double-header today, and Bad Dreams certainly lives up to its name, with the noise fodder you've come to love from this guy/demon. 4 untitled tracks and plenty of cassette garbles, metal scrapes and all around electric kool-aid acid fuckery. Deviously home-recorded, and not a moment to catch your breath on this one. It's a full on sick-sickle from start to finish. It might as well be a field-recording of a death factory, with bone-grinding evil machinery doing all of the dirty work. Enough of me talking, I'll let the album take the reins on this one. Bad dreams? You bet your sorry ass they are.SPINE SCAVENGER - PIGS, CASSETTE TAPE, 2008, CHONDRITIC SOUND, USA
Exquisite analog wanking from ex-Wolf Eyes member, Aaron Dilloway, under a heinous moniker: Spine Scavenger. Side A is mostly made up of the title-track Pigs, which during its 14 minute runtime, Aaron takes a simple synth-scrapped blueprint and builds a chaos castle of whooshing atmospherics that gradually evolves in it's own serpentine way, down to the bellows of hell. Dilloway is the king of fusing the grotesque negativity he's been known for, into this bite-sized lo-fi morsel, with plenty of oomph, zest and straight-up ear crunching. Ambiance takes on a different meaning when treading the playgrounds of his warped sonic fun-zone, and Aaron finishes Side A with a great vacuum sucking track complete with indecipherable vocal warblings intricately placed. Side B takes an even more abstract turn for the worst, and it's the side that eases the fear a tad and lets the mind drift into the outskirts of bubbly, fragmented death-noise. Pigs, on the whole, is a delightful fright-nugget for the harsher consumer, and with the twisted finisher, The Embryo, it would make anyone want to climb back into their mother's womb for sheer bloody comfort. Kudos noise-kins!
