Since the release of Silenced in October 2005 The
Black Dog have been working delicately on its
successor. Two years in the making and the first
album to be completed in their new Sheffield Lab.
Radio Scarecrow has been over two years in the
making, constantly developing and building,
culminating in a masterpiece work that flows
delightfully and hits hard. A true progression on
Silenced, the trio are keen to note "the beats are
faster and the bass is much heavier - so much so
that it was making us ill working with the low
frequencies for hours on end, we could only do 3
hours at a time on some parts".
Tracks like Floods v3.9 and Beep are testament to
this. With throbbing basslines strong enough to
make an impact on the Richter scale these tracks
are best played out on a big sound system.
Radio Scarecrow unfolds gracefully. Barely
skipping a beat between tracks the act have
created an album that demands to be listened to in
its entirety. With elements blending between
tracks (the same kick drum being used to very
different means in "Short Wave Lies and Siiiipher
for example) and with constant themes of
conspiracy and the supernatural The Black Dog
present more than a collection of
tracks.Influenced heavily by their interest in
Magick, Numbers Stations and Electronic Voice
Phenomenon (EVP) the act have hidden examples of
these within their work. "These transmissions and
recordings (and people's interpretations of them)
had a strong influence on many of the final
concepts and compositions, to the point where
weÆve been embedding coded messages and curses
deep inside the tracksö. EVP Echoes notably takes
examples of this phenomenon creating a haunting
work of art from it.
