Reminds me of Silenced, but still current with their sound from their last "mellow" outing: Black Daisy Wheel. Very enjoyable
Favorite track: Cup Noodle.

Yet another solid moody ambient techno outing from TBD, just as fun a listen as I'd expect out of them. Did a full video review here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=brJedLPOusM
Favorite track: Black Smoke.

Yummy noodles. tBD'd since b4 Black Dog Towers & the Mile End times, Cup Noodle feels as good as anything from Vir2l or Bytes with added Sheffield Dust plating.
Favorite track: Cup Noodle.

No such thing as a bad Black Dog album but this is one of the best. Beautifully produced electronic music.

Limited Edition Compact Disc
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital AlbumFragments was a completely new way of working for us. We’ve always worked with an internal brief, creating documents, pictures and videos, simply because keeping an idea on track with three individuals can be difficult. It's easy for someone to be edged out of the creative process when the focus is not clearly defined.
It’s a formula we’ve used since the early 2000s, but things have changed a lot since then, particularly when we decided to dip our collective toes into supporter memberships with Patreon. It made us think about what we could do directly for our supporters rather than just the next album or project. At first, the whole thing felt odd and uncomfortable, but we decided that we’d try a few things and ask for feedback.
"Fragments" was initially a way for us to see how we could include others in an ongoing creative process. There was no over-arching concept, no defined characteristics or purpose, just the promise that there would be at least one new track for members to download every month. Consequently, we never knew what was coming next, so the old, very focused working method was irrelevant. It was difficult for us to let individual tracks go without knowing what was coming next, but this also made the project more interesting.
And then C19 hit and we were forced to continue the project remotely from our home studios. As difficult as the disruption was, it was during this period that we realised we could re-organise and remaster the individual tracks into a coherent album, capturing a specific moment in time and drawing a line under the first phase of the project.
Like our "Allegory" EPs, we’ve tried to keep everything stripped back. We used to hide many subtle elements within the layers, but not so much this time.
Fragments is our journey through many changes, both self-imposed and those imposed upon us, and it ultimately led us to create things differently. We hope you like it.
