Michigan's Wolf Eyes are an institution within the American experimental music underground, constantly exploring new paths and pushing the boundaries of music and sound art. While most commonly categorized as a noise band, their always uncompromising work has ranged from rhythmic bangers approximating mutated industrial and broken electro to free-form improvisation sessions rooted in avant-garde jazz and modern composition. The impossibly prolific, fiercely D.I.Y. unit has released countless handmade recordings on their own imprints, but they've reached more listeners with well-distributed releases like 2004's Burned Mind. The group collaborated with major avant-garde figures like Anthony Braxton, Merzbow, and Richard Pinhas, and released one of their defining statements with 2013's No Answer: Lower Floors. I Am a Problem: Mind in Pieces (2015) touched on psychedelic rock influences, and 2023's Dreams in Splattered Lines offered short, dense collages of horns, electronics, and spoken word.
