Jeffrey Alexander has always been into the cool, the weird, and the darkness.

He has apparently been heavily dabbling in what the band’s bio describes as “the higher dimensions of cosmic free-rock” since I last hung out with him. I consider him a kind of scholar of outsider and avant-garde music; over the years, he’s run Secret Eye Records, been a member of Jackie O’ Motherfucker, Black Forest Black Sea, and managed to find a way to always remain genuinely excited about creating and performing music—which is not always the case with artists who keep at it for multiple decades.

Recorded in Oakland, CA during a two day stretch, "Grow Towards the Light" is Dire Wolves’ 4th official full-length album (not including the fifteen or so minor releases, bootlegs, and tapes they’ve put out over the years), and it’s the first without Lau Nau on main vocals. Taking over that role is the mystical Georgia Carbone, singing in her own invented language. Regarding the album title: you can really hear the sun pulsating through the space clouds, if you know what I mean. Jeffrey plays guitar and moog here, joined by Brian Lucas on bass, Sheila Bosco (from Faun Fables) on drums and piano, Arjun Mendiratta (Village of Spaces) on violin, and Taralie Peterson (Spires that in the Sunset Rise) on saxophone.

“Every Step Is Birth” features a dark, plodding groove. It sounds like the soundtrack to a sinister after-party in a place you suspect might actually be purgatory. I happen to know that Jeffrey Alexander followed the Dead around for the better part of the 1980s, and you can hear that influence here, but also shades of musical styles from all over the globe. “Every Step,” with its shrieking violin and Georgia’s haunting vocals, builds into a trance-like, cinematic climax. All of this becomes all the more impressive when you realize that every note of this recording was improvised.

Jeffrey tells me the album thematically tries to express the “interconnectedness of all things,” which makes perfect sense given even during some of the more unsettling jams and eerie melodies, this album always feels like a cohesive whole.

Stylistically this is really a broad, painterly album that comes together in a beautiful, unexpected way. I hope you enjoy "Grow Towards the Light." - By Marissa Nadler

Great Product for Hard Water
Style: Shampoo
We have hard water and just after a week of using this I can already tell a difference, not only that but I've been using it on my upper arms, shoulders and neck and my keratosis pilaris is clearing up and my skin is smooth. Great product, happy I found it.

Not bad... but not great either.
Style: Shampoo
Let me make one thing perfectly clear at the get go: I am spoiled when it comes to shampoo & conditioners. My wife has super fine hair so she buys the expensive Biolage stuff and I use it too because I only need a tiny little dollop for my hair. So I know how my hair feels after pricey shampoo and this.. well.. this isn't it. Mind you, it's not bad. If I wasn't so used to to Biolage, I'm sure this would feel fine. However, this definitely made my hair feel like I had just washed with something like Salon Selectives. It just felt different. Maybe it's the aloe in there but my hair just didn't feel as nice as usual when I tried it. So, if you're used to low-to-mid range store bought shampoos, you might like this a lot. Jeez that sounds pretentious! LOL, sorry! Again, it's not like my hair fell out or anything weird, but I've had the good stuff and I'll stick with the good stuff. I'm still giving this 4 stars out of fairness for a perfectly fine shampoo. It still lathered up nicely and my hair was perfectly clean, but just don't expect a high-end feel.
