SEVEN NOISES

I know I posted two months ago a generic post about Blank Dogs but, the original idea for this blog is to talk about 7' singles and promote them so, if there's a new Blank Dogs single, which happens at least once a month, I will probably talk about it. Last week saw the edition of the magnificent new Blank Dogs LP, Under and Under, and In The Red, the label that released it, in order to celebrate it, they published this week a limited edition single as a companion to that album featuring two songs from the same sessions but not included on the record (not even the extra tracks on the vinyl version) or anywhere else. Waiting could be a hit on the hands of, let's say, Robert Smith if he had any talent left but, of course, Blank Dogs' ghost-like voice and the (lack of) production of the song will not let it happen. Splitting, the b side, made me stand up to check if I was playing the song at the right revolutions as the upbeat drum machine is kind of 80s EBM. You better run to get one copy, it's been released for three days and it's already sold out in many places.
Released 08/06/09

And yet another mysterious project of a multi-releasing guy that seems he doesn't do anything else with his life apart from recording and recording highly lo-fi stuff and publish it in any format available with the most random and unknown labels. And yet another one-man-band from Brooklyn that seems the centre of the music world these days. With a similar spirit to Wavves (DIY, noisy, fast and badly recorded) but more inspired in the sounds of the beginning of the 80s, like an impossible demo recording of an imaginary band formed by members of The Cure and New Order circa 1982 with a singer unable to achieve any change of tone or show any melody skills. In not much more than a couple of years his discography is wider than that from bands around for decades and his identity is still unknown as he has always covered his face with masks, bandages or other stuff, which we know it always adds a bit of notoriety to a project.
