From the dogless white of Jesse Locke:
Barking at the moon from the heart of middle Canada, White Dog’s Chris Jacques doubles as the co-founder of Prairie Fire Tapes and its off branch Dub Ditch Picnic. This four-song c30 is the latest ear-clot from his ambient/drone project, and finds Jacques in a meditative mood while maintaining trademark murk. Following three storm and stress instrumental creepers, the clear culmination is closer “A Forest”. Here, haunted vocal samples sink into plaintive acoustic plucks, mystical wind chimes and ominous horror movie hums for a spirit animal ceremony that’s both mesmerizing and mysterious.
