Sub Pop signed Wolf Eyes the same reason any label signs bands: they thought they'd sell a lot of albums. Obvious but needs to be said. I highly doubt they did that though -- sorry, no doubts, I KNOW they didn't do that. Which may explain why Wolf Eyes doesn't seem to be releasing any more albums through them. There's no way they'd sign them in 2008, assuming they hadn't signed them all those years ago. Either way, it was cool/crazy to see a Wolf Eyes cd in a local record store here (that usually doesn't carry anything even remotely resembling that type of music).
But yeah if you remember to a few years back, noise was supposedly some new, cool thing, with misinformed SPIN articles (which mentioned the Mars Volta amongst Hair Police, Lightning Bolt, and Wolf Eyes; eh?), Lollapalooza touring that never happened, and of course opening for Sonic Youth and shit. I heard Wolf Eyes got $100,000 for signing with 'em. That's amazing. Shrug.
