Andrew Nolan - Black Dogs - BRAND NEW CASSETTE TAPE

Andrew Nolan invokes ill omen on Black Dogs

Folk-horror inspired industrial dub featuring JK FLESH, Metalheadz artist Gremlinz + more

No stranger to the world of industrial noise, Toronto-based Andrew Nolan has been especially prolific lately, producing a slew of notable solo work alongside collaborations with artists like Refused, Full of Hell and The Body.

With a restrained minimalism, effective use of rich, analog synths, spatial mixing and expert pacing across its runtime, Black Dogs touches on industrial dub, hip-hop, drum & bass and downtempo electronic with assistance from Justin K Broadrick (GODFLESH) as JK FLESH, Metalheadz artist Gremlinz, and Sectra.

Drawing inspiration from Nolan's obsession with north English folklore, the album is named for the vicious spectral hounds that are believed to be the spirits of unbaptized babies. A menacing crescendo of dread, beat, and bass-heavy tracks, Black Dogs uses animal sounds, junk metal, and feedback as sonic building blocks to create its grim, menacing soundscapes.

"A reckless invocation of ill omen. All due respects paid to spectral hounds. Man is still the animal." - Andrew Nolan

Andrew Nolan's Black Dogs (mastered by Justin K Broadrick) releases Friday, October 9th on limited CD, cassette, and digital from GIVE/TAKE and Avalanche Rec
