Aids Wolf
Ma Vie Banale Avant-garde
Recorded at Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, WA and originally
released in 2011 as a double LP, the corpus of songs found on AIDS Wolf's final album were written over the course of a
year as the band shifted from its more formal work to a sound focused on polyrhythm and flowing, elastic tempos. On
further listens, fields of dissonant guitar and demented, lurching tempos, give way to pixelated pop forms - albeit with
a detuned loner dinosaur in its spotlight.
Here, the starting point of AIDS Wolf's compositional approach was to "learn its mistakes", composing songs by studying
improvised passages off blown out cassette tapes recorded on a trusty GE tape portable device. Aiming to dampen the
repetition endemic in most music, the band added elements of chance and non-repetitive phrasing, evolving the songs
organically for their final resting place. In this frame and to the very end, AIDS Wolf remained devoted to forwarding
and refining their musical vision; seeking new challenges for themselves and their audience.
