Aaron Dilloway has released a new album on 〈Dais Records〉. A former member of Wolf Eyes, head of 〈Hanson Records〉, and a living legend of Midwestern U.S. noise, this is the final chapter of a trilogy following 2012’s *Modern Jester* and 2017’s *The Gag File*. It’s a bizarre masterpiece in which he transforms the various misfortunes of his life—including, as he himself admits, “mental health issues, medication, and divorce”—into an absurd soundscape that leaves you with no choice but to laugh. Arrives on a Transparent Blue vinyl pressing.

Following a recreation of John Cage’s 88-tape-loop work *Rozart Mix* and collaborations with Lucrecia Dalt, Kim Gordon, and others, this album compiles approximately a decade’s worth of solo recordings. Inspired by Alvin Lucier, Hugo Montenegro, and Andy Milligan’s trash movies, this is noise music characterized by distortion and transformation—a fusion of found sounds buried in feedback, field recordings, his own voice, and tape hiss. The album features a variety of unconventional materials, such as a drone created by rubbing two bows together on the Nepalese string instrument, the sarangi, and a collage of chopped-up readings from a book about a noisy 18th-century French religious sect. From hellish, echoing laughter to white noise that sounds as if submerged underwater, to synth-funk playing in a post-human club scene—based on music originally created for the CG animation *Supporting Actor*. A thrilling album where tragedy and comedy, destruction and farce sit at the same table. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
