Industrial, energetic bouts of noise influenced sounds
Wolf Eyes showcase their musical growth through the otherworldly sounds broadcasted on Dreams In Splattered Lines. This project is dark, unnerving and complex. Each arrangement seems to differ and feature an even weirder noise than the previous. This project is excellent for those who wish to experience an entirely different level of music, a level in which one may feel dissociated yet strangely connected to the artists producing these tracks.
“Car Wash Two w/ Short Hands” acts as an ominous introduction to the album, featuring multiple levels of white noise that combine and allude to a feeling of overall ascension. One may feel like they are in a specific familiar location while listening to this, or a location they had never been to. This versatility is what makes Dreams In Splattered Lines a must listen. Everyone has the ability to take away their own completely individual experience from engaging with this project and the results are beautifully unexpected.
The abstract abilities of Wolf Eyes continue on the next track “Radio Box (excerpt),” which once again feels like something that could be presented in a museum. The music leads to nowhere yet everywhere at the same time. Things start to heat up as the album progresses, featuring slight song structure and ambient vocals on tracks such as “Plus Warning” and “Engaged Withdrawal.”
Melodies and concrete rhythms begin to form alongside continuous streams of white noise as the pace picks up. “My Whole Life” is the closest this album reaches to a typical song, with semi-solidified vocals and structure. While this song has more content than others in Dreams In Splattered Lines, the general mood is still extremely mysterious and conceptual. “The Museums We Carry” features an interesting arrangement of horns combined with violent, sharp bursts of white noise.
Overall, this album yearns to teach the listener something, or at least take them to an unprecedented place. Dreams In Splattered Lines is loose, theoretical and noisy. It is perfect for listeners who strive to uncover a completely different level of sound and ultimately transcend into new territory.
