Loud Ambient 2 [CD]

The Black Dog - Loud Ambient 2 [CD]

"Loud Ambient 2 picks up directly from where Loud Ambient (DUST 135LP) left off. After picking the drum machines back up, we returned to the colorfield ideas that shaped the first record. Rothko remained a key reference, along- side a strong recommendation to spend time with the work of Josef Albers. We did exactly that, and it paid off. Alongside the music, we created 50 new pieces of artwork for Loud Ambient 2. These became tools rather than decorations. Working this way felt open and rewarding, and brought a real sense of play back into the process. We already understood what a Loud Ambient track could be, so slipping back into that headspace felt natural. The tracks came together quickly, full of energy, movement and that familiar noodle quality. The creative side landed easily this time. There is something about working with colorfields that frees you up and pushes you further into abstraction. It removes hesitation and keeps the focus on instinct and response. With the drum machines and synths loaded, we kept our heads down and made the kind of music we want to hear on a dance floor. Loud Ambient 2 is the result." --The Black DogAlso available on orange color vinyl (DUST 139LP). 01. It's Like Kissing Someone Else 02. Cutting Machine 03. Subvert Control 04.
