The Black Dog – Loud Ambient (Red Vinyl LP)
Making this album was an absolute joy. We used Rothko’s artwork as a major
influence. His use of colour fields, blending, mood and scale really helped us build an
album of tracks that could stand on their own and also work together as a coherent
whole across all the tones we had been working with. It was also a chance to fall back
in love with our 909, 808 and 707.
While working on music for several other projects, the “Rothko” project got renamed
Loud Ambient because it did not really sit right with the My Brutal Life series. We
often talked about what people make of The Black Dog and whether they think we
only make ambient music. We do not. Over the last year or so, one of us would be
working on something and someone else would say, “That is a Loud Ambient track.”
The name stuck. We liked the funny side of it.
With Loud Ambient, everything just fell into place creatively. Surprisingly for us, the
tracklisting never changed, just small tweaks here and there. That rarely happens. It
marks a first for us as a band. All the stars aligned and the confidence in this album is
the strongest we have ever had.
Loud Ambient was made to dance to, something we have not done in a while. We
welcome the return to the dancefloor with both hands. Will you join us?
