Goldstar Artists Roster

Blank Dogs

Blank Dogs

“For all the musicians crafting grimy, lo-fi electro-rock, the man behind Blank Dogs takes it to another level, because it feels like he means it." The Wire

“The music of Blank Dogs is all mid-tempo drum beats, discarded Cure basslines and vocals that sound as if they were sung through a tape recorder submerged at the bottom of a frozen pond”. Fader

For the past several years a slew of 12”s, cassettes and 7”s have been dropped by the mysterious Brooklyn artist known as Blank Dogs. Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks or bedspreads, but that's fine. The sound is like Joy Division vocal lines with the Cure's synth and guitar melodies filtered through ancient submerged keyboards and eroded recording equipment. And that voice? All the feedback in the world can't hide his knack for melody. Blank Dogs have been making plenty of rumbles in the noisier and more secretive outposts of the underground. All of their records were pressed in limited editions, sold out quickly and, without fail, wound up fetching big bucks with collectors on ebay

Under And Under is Blank Dogs latest and most massive release to date. The CD has 15 tracks, the LP an additional 5 which do not feature on the CD version - ‘Finding Out Again’, ‘Second Time’, ‘The New Things’, ‘Landmarks’, ‘Wrong Then’ - showcasing his pop chops to a greater extent than any of his previous releases. Also, for the first time, Blank Dogs has incorporated the assistance of outside musicians to lend a hand. Various members of the Brooklyn music scene, such as members of the Crystal Stilts and Vivian Girls, contributed this time around, though the sound remains as dusted and strange as anything Blank Dogs have done before.
