White Dog Family Band – Escape the Mystery II
June 13, 2011
The last time we heard from White Dog, it was all doom and gloom apocalyptic noise. So pretty much anything Chris Jaques could follow that up with would be some form of respite. On Escape the Mystery II, Jaques introduces us to his Family Band and ups the weirdo factor quite a bit. There is, of course, the heavy drone we have come to expect from the Dog, but this time he’s throwing all sorts of surprises into the mix. There’s the spoken word vocals of his 7-year-old son (in something of a breakthrough role), some old dub samples, and even a few insane noise breakdowns. All in all, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more awesome and batty release this summer. Essential.
