01 Walk Through Me 02 Routser 03 Ream Flash Pull
Cat: STRAY040 Duration: 11 min Released: 2011 |
Stray Dog City Spitemask STRAY040
SpiteMask is the third EP from Stray Dog City since operations restarted. Once again, they fuse their ongoing obsessions with weighty bass
end, minimalism, skewed song structures and noise.
Ever wondered what a song sounds like from 'the other side'? A song 'seen from behind'. When you buy the full EP you get a recording
of 'the other side' of Routser free.

01 What You Up To? 02 New Work 03 Working on a New Story
Cat: STRAY038 Duration: 14 min Released: 2011 |
Stray Dog City Dabeno STRAY038
Second release on SR from Stray Dog City, this EP again showcases their penchant for dark, bass-driven soundscaping.
Always celebrating the atonal, they bring their melodies to the fore, only to let that aesthetic fall apart, to expose the minimal,
dub underbelly.
Excruciatingly catchy, we defy you to not nod along.

01 The Waterworks 02 Allitis 03 Sofall
Cat: STRAY037 Duration: 20 min Released: 2011 |
Stray Dog City Ziff STRAY037
First release on SR from post-punk dubsters Stray Dog City and their first release since 1997.
Back with with their trademark dark atmospherics and off-kilter beats, SDC pick up where they left off, melding aching melody and heavy
manners with ease. Driving bass pushes against the beat, while washes of guitar noise build panoramic soundscapes, folding in on themselves,
constantly shifting the perspective.
Dark dubs for dark times.

Formed in 1996 after Ade Bordicott answered an advert in Future Music. Milk was looking for someone to work with who was inspired
by the likes of PiL, Autechre and the Cocteau Twins. Stray Dog City immediately became a hotbed of creativity, based on loosely structured
improvisation, a love of sound, pushing conventional instrumentation, and using the studio as an instrument. Tying it all together was the
unspoken 'rule' that being able to play the material live was crucial. SDC wasn't actually restricted by rules, but used various basic
approaches instead.
Going into hiatus by 1998, Stray Dog City has since become the sort of project that is re-ignited when the members feel the moment is right.
