Aaron Dilloway returns to Dais Records with No Skill Comedy Mind Reading, his first true full-length album since 2017, a collection of characteristically jarring, absurdist material.
Marked by his signature distortions and contortions — feedback-shrouded found sounds, field recordings, and vocal improvisations — No Skill collects nearly a decade of select solo work and yet, feels distinctly in the present: a scattered product of volatility, both harsh and humorous. Few contemporary experimental artists over the past quarter-century are as prolific and revered as Dilloway, a pioneer of the American Midwest noise scene, a former member of Wolf Eyes, and the founder of the Oberlin-based label and record shop Hanson Records.
Dilloway collects sound poetry records, and while he's quick not to file what he does within the genre, the absurdity of the craft — using phonetic sounds and non-verbal noises to replace traditional semantic meaning — speaks through his work.
No Skill Comedy Mind Reading ends in a synth and organ rhythm machine piece derived from music he made for Pieter Schoolwerth and Phil Vanderhyden's film Supporting Actor, in which an avatar of Dilloway gets pulled into a portal. There, he brushes shoulders with post-human creatures in a fantastical club. The scene, somehow transferable to audio, leaves the set in an appropriately disorienting dream state.
A noise music luminary, a modern jester, dispatching from the unknown.
