Black EP – Out 2nd September 2022

Posted on 1st September 2022 in Releases

Celebrating the musical history of the West Bar district in Sheffield and complimenting the launch of Martin Dust’s new photographic book “Little Sheffield”, this special EP drops with two unique tracks.

“On November the 11th at 23:23 PM 2021 The Black Dog held an evocation ritual at the site of Workshop Studios and within the moonlight shadow (33 degrees) of Monumental Pictures Studios.

Sigils were drawn, incense drenched the air as a picture of Bob Last was burnt while the Stele Of Revealing was recited and recorded. Samples from the site have been used to build the following recordings.

The site has now been professionally backfilled to hide the exact location from future use, please do not attempt without permission from The O.T.O and Temple Ov Psychick Youth.”

Dubs: Volume 4 – Suburbia – Out 01.07.22

Posted on 27th June 2022 in Releases

The fourth EP in the limited edition Dubs series is nearly here, available once again as a very special limited edition package containing a 12″ vinyl record, full-colour sleeve, 28-page booklet, pin badge, postcard and free downloads. Pre-orders are available now ready for release on the 1st July 2022.

“I don’t know what it is about textures and the mundane of late, but it has become an obsession. I’m not sure if it’s me trying to hold onto the past or document things that would only interest a few people – it’s puzzling.

That said, there is a certain beauty to the proximity of history hiding in plain sight, the visual documentation of ideas past and present just waiting to be seen. Perhaps I stand alone with this interest? So much of our history is lost, knocked down and then backfilled, waiting to be found again. The only trouble is that history is already lost and then left to the best guess of what was what, seems odd in this day and age that should be the case but I’m finding that often it is.

The future pushes on to the next page and the words are lost in the reach for something else.”

This is the 4th part of the limited edition series, each one containing:

• Ultra Limited, 100 Copies Only
• 12″ Heavyweight 180g Vinyl
• Hand Numbered Full Colour Sleeve
• 28 Page Colour Booklet of Photographs and Text – Signed and Numbered

Live In Barcelona 25/03/2022 – Out Now

Posted on 2nd June 2022 in Releases

Recorded live in Barcelona, this album provides a journey through our work from the last 18 months, taking cues from the Dubs, Music For Photographers and Brutalism projects. The music and the visuals of the live performance document the brutalist architecture, found at home and in the locations we visit, while also reflecting its place within the landscape and our lives.

Using original photography, this live AV show developed the visuals using artificial intelligence and neural networks to create new constructions, worlds and visions for a version of a future just over the page.

The Black Dog and Amoeba Design are working together to realise a series of art projects for live events and gallery installations, all under the banner of My Brutal Life, an ongoing series of projects encompassing music, photography, books, exhibitions, 360 audio-visual events and live performances.

This live performance marks the end of the first year in developing this body of work.

Fighting Modernism EP – Out 6th May 2022

Posted on 5th May 2022 in Releases

“Fighting Modernism” features three new tracks to continue the Brutal EP series and expand on the concepts of the well-received Music For Photographers album.

“People don’t like change, their era always was and still is the best. They no longer live on the edge of the page, they’re trapped in a nostalgic Ponzi scheme that they never asked for.

Modernity traps you emotionally, locking you into a “small island” mentally, but who the hell dreams of going back to the bronze age? The romantic in you died when you moved to the city, you gave up the right to be so judgemental.

Fight back, grey over green. Don’t let them convince you that they know better: they’ll ply you with platitudes while planning you out of existence.”

Brutal Minimalism EP – Coming Soon

Posted on 24th January 2022 in Releases

Four fresh concrete cuts from a promised future that we all deserve.

The Brutal Minimalism EP follows us on a journey across several sites in Yorkshire famous for their brutal architecture. The four rhythmic beat-driven tracks were all written on location while waiting for ideal lighting and the rain to stop. And let’s face it, it rains a lot in Yorkshire.

The tracks evolved over a number of weeks, produced within the architecture of the car parks, streets and nearby green spaces, all to find the distinct vibrations of the place. Sound samples were captured from the environment and banks of percussion, pads and tones were created for use throughout the pieces. Working within this architecture influenced the process and ultimately shaped the evolution of the tracks.

Here we present four slices from those sessions where we ask you to embrace the grey over the green.

Pre-Orders available now, downloads available from 28th January 2022:
