Bleep

Brian Eno's Music For Airports is a blueprint for ambient music. Three decades later, The Black Dog opt for realism with their response, rejecting lush idealism for something far more liminal and haunting. Eerie drones capture the feeling of being stranded, stuck in wait mode amongst a whirlwind of bustling crowds while delays stack up. Bass powered tension runs through 'Empty Seat Calculations' with skittering microbeats like flickering halogen bulbs, while 'Business Car Park 9' leaves on a note of freedom, solemn yet hopeful chords escaping the airport timelessness.
