Vinyl only reissue of the first Blank Dogs full-length from 2008, originally released on Troubleman Unlimited. ''Blank Dogs is a one-man enterprise that within the space of approximately one year has somehow managed to release a dozen or so releases; On Two Sides has previously done the rounds thanks to physical releases on Fuck It Tapes and Troubleman, suggesting this Brooklynite is hanging out in all the right crowds. As for the music itself, it's all very much conceived in a lo-fi dungeon, piling on the no-def fuzz and drum machine beats in a manner that's likely to register favourably on the barometer of hipness. At its best the record delivers wafer-thin new wave jams like 'Meltdown Cloud' (like an emaciated Jay Reatard record) or Cure-style pop like 'Blaring Speeches', and it's certainly worth your while ploughing through all that grime and distortion to get to all this jagged excitement.'' - Boomkat Originally Released: 2008 Tracklisting: A1 Ants A2 Blaring Speeches A3 The Station A4 Twenty Two A5 Calico Hands A6 RCD Song B1 Epic Moves B2 Meltdown Cloud B3 The Lines B4 Pieces B5 The Crystal Ladies B6 Three Window Room |
