Modern Jester

Originally released as a Double LP in Gatefold Sleeve. "…in terms of scope and ambition, Modern Jester is Dilloway's War and Peace. It covers practically all of his sonic obsessions, stretching them to lengths at which he can explore every detail and tangent." Marc Masters, Pitchfork.com pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16330-modern-jester/ "There is a specific production approach to this record that works perfectly on pulling the listener in it. It has the power to transfer and guide the mind through a journey."--- Jackie Farrow, Sonic Escape sonicescape.tumblr.com/post/18498847494/aaron-dilloway-modern-jes... "Those that leave the green lungs you, raise the temperature to improbable degrees and hallucinate your death." Bartolome Delmar Huerta, Afterpop (Babel Fish Translation from Spanish) afterpop.tv/2012/02/aaron-dilloway-modern-jester/ "Modern Jester" is quite possibly the culmination of everything we've heard from Dilloway that's come before it. A hyper-focused monolithic double LP that distills all past phases of inspiration into a harrowing, but strangely beautiful journey." -- Fred Thomas, All Music Guide fredthomas.blogspot.com/2011/10/modern-jester.html "From short bursts to long-form, hallucinatory epics, it's a sprawling collection that highlights every facet of Dilloway's considerable arsenal. One of the album's two side-long attacks, Look Over Your Shoulder is a lurid, subtly shifting piece with disembodied vocals and a barrage of extra-terrestrial tones that slithers into your cerebral cortex atop a funeral rhythm." -- Jeff Conklin, East Villiage Radio www.eastvillageradio.com/content/content.php?id=2643 -------------------------------------- Recorded 2008 - 2011 Finalized July 2011 at Tarker Mills, Oberlin, Ohio Aaron Dilloway on Tape Loops, Percussion, Synthesizer, Metal, Voice, Tape FX. with Erika Hoffmann - Voice Source: Tremors, After The Showers Lobo - Voice Source: Body Chaos The Nevari Butchers (Dilloway, Wyatt Howland, Mick Travis) - Electronic Source: Shatter All Organized Activities Infinite Psychic Assistance from Twig Harper and Nate Young Psychotic Dissection Assistance from Tom Darksmith and John Mannion Mastered By Peter Swanson.

THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BEGIN TALKING, IN A NEW VOICE, OUT OF THE BLUE, ABOUT DEATH AND WEIRD SHIT LIKE THAT." -- K.W.

Six years after leaving Wolf Eyes, Aaron Dilloway releases a collection that feels like a major statement, even if it's made of wordless, sometimes harsh noise.
