The Black Dog - Radio Scarecrow (Soma)
Since the release of Silenced in October 2005 The Black Dog have been working delicately on its successor. 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”.
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 and with constant themes of conspiracy and the supernatural The Black Dog present more than just 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 we’ve been embedding coded messages and curses deep inside the tracks”.
