This year has been a strong one for us in the studio. We’ve spent more time making music than at any other point since we began. Between the main studio and our own set-ups, we've been working flat out, and the support from you, our listeners and followers, has meant a lot. It keeps us moving and keeps the art honest. Nothing stays still, and that keeps the energy up. This project is a continuatio...

We always knew we would return to this project because Brutalism remains a profound part of our lives, something we cherish deeply. Inspired by the photographs we have been capturing for a new book, the music emerged effortlessly. Documenting these buildings feels instinctive; this is where we belong. Our unwavering fixation on symmetry, synchronisation, and repetition endures, but this time we be...

“Sleep Deprivation” began in 2006, during a time when our sleep patterns were drastically altered by constant travel and late-night gigs. This relentless cycle of broken sleep became a persistent part of our lives, and over time, we noticed something remarkable: our music became more emotional, raw, and vulnerable. Sleep, or the lack of it, affects every aspect of life, and its influence on our cr...

Other, Like Me by The Black Dog

Crafted to work within the imposing walls of Moore Street Substation during our ten-day residency, these brutalist hymns mark the pinnacle of our creative exploits in 2023. This industrial cathedral inspired a musical odyssey, and within these final four cuts, the profound influence of one of our favourite buildings resonates, intricately woven into the fabric of each composition. As we unveil the...

Introducing "The Being Brutal EP" - featuring three captivating tracks by The Black Dog, expertly enriching The Grey Album canon. Delving into the heart of Sheffield's vibrant music scene during the 1980s, this EP explores the wistful decline of the once-promised modernist utopia, now nostalgically viewed through rose-tinted glasses. With a tapestry of intricate emotions woven across forgotten est...

The Reproduce EP by The Black Dog

Sometimes, things "just happen". For months, we’d been working away on various projects and then, without really thinking about it, The Black EP just happened. It seemingly appeared from nowhere. We’d been talking about the old days; making music with friends and dodgy kit, renting small practice rooms and using makeshift recording studios. It was such a common thing back then, you could pick a du...

The White EP was created in Bill Drummond's kitchen, the place where all this started, and the one his wife liked to remind him could've been refitted if he hadn’t burnt the million pounds. Reaching into the past where everything seemed possible, play has now been replaced by art. We channelled pure Sheffield electronics via the beats and visuals of early Psalter Lane Art College gigs, the walls e...

"We hate to think about how much time we've spent in Airport Lounges. We didn't record on every single visit but we still ended up with over 200 hours of recordings in our archives - that’s nearly 8.5 days straight. These recordings became the backbone of the project, as we began to work them into tracks, while simultaneously sitting in airports. The circle was complete. Airport lounges are a comm...

This mix was created at Park Hill while photographing the flats for a future project. It draws upon all of the music we’ve been making about Sheffield and Brutalism, along with a few choice selections from our catalogue, creating a vibration that can never be seen. The needs and polarization of our society feed heavily into the collective consciousness, often among people who’ve never lived in soc...

Recorded in Barcelona, this live album provides a journey back through the last 18 months, taking cues from The Black Dog's Dubs, Music For Photographers and Brutalism projects. The music and the visuals of the live performance document the brutalist architecture, found at home and in the locations we visit, while also reflecting its place within the landscape and our lives. Using original photogr...

The third EP from the Brutal Minimalism series delivers three new tracks, exploring our concrete landscapes further and deeper than before. "People don’t like change, their era always was and still is the best. They no longer live on the edge of the page, they’re trapped in a nostalgic Ponzi scheme that they never asked for. Modernity traps you emotionally, locking you into a “small island” mental...

Concrete Reasoning builds on the foundations of Music For Photographers and Brutal Minimalism with three fresh reinforced cuts, all inspired by the colour work of Le Corbusier and matching the ambitious lines striking across the skyline. Let’s face it, who else in electronic music is writing about brutalism and architecture? As always, the bass is ever-present, waiting for the minimal patterns to...

Four fresh concrete cuts from a promised future that we all deserve. The Brutal Minimalism EP follows us on a journey across several sites in Yorkshire famous for their brutal architecture. The four rhythmic beat-driven tracks were all written on location while waiting for ideal lighting and the rain to stop. And let’s face it, it rains a lot in Yorkshire. The tracks evolved over a number of weeks...
