i found my old highschool computer

aaron dilloway - since he's been gone



i didnt get a chance to grab a lot of shit off it, but i'm really glad i got this cause i totally forgot about it


ghosts of victrola favorites and lost oddities from the female pop vocals dollar bin fly around the room until they disintegrate in front of you basically

dilloway was a wolf eyes dude for a while so obviously you're gonna get some well placed mostquito screams and speaker farts, but this is occupying a much calmer but not really mellower space than a lot of wolf eyes stuff i've heard.

side a is mostly made up of lots of short, sometimes totally coherent, sometimes fairly doctored vocal samples, with instrumental snippets sometimes layering on top of each other, usually just going on to the next thing. not like a "piece", i dont think, but its at an album, and that is pretty cool , some moments of real beauty on this one

alternately spooky, hopeful, and driving

listen to it while driving down a highway in the desert while the sun is going down, or at a dinner party that is going to turn into a seance later

side b sounds like wolf eyes yknow
high frequencies, menacing vocals, squeals, crunches, death marches, pulses, slaps, loops, alien animals, whispers, some very black dicey ocean bleeps and bloops, listen to it while you're getting eaten by ghosts

this whole tape is about ghosts i think
