Resistance

New White Dog tape - Resistance  - you can check samples here

Here's what the label sez about it:

One of the last White Dog releases for a while. Academia has a stranglehold on our dog and making creepy crawl death drones is the last thing on this dude’s mind. Sad but true, there is but one last recording to be released after this and then the midnight howls will cease.

Resistance is the second part of the Resistance, Revolution, Retribution series. On Resistance, White Dog explores the history of Quebec via the FLQ and October Crisis of 1970. Side A combines Whitey’s usual dronage with some squealing feedback and source recording of the FLQ manifesto. Side B offers a sound companion to the psychological and social unrest of the October Crisis with “1970”.

Here's some nice words from Zen Effects:

Although White Dog is easing up on recording for a while, the project is showing no signs of softening up. On Resistance, supposedly the dog’s penultimate release, Chris Jaques offers some of the most desolate and monolithic drones we’ve heard from him yet – complete with some truly horrifying harsh noise and feedback echoing throughout. Gone are the dreary, moody atmospherics from last year’s essential self-titled tape (also released on Prairie Fire)- replaced here with pure, immersive darkness. There are some spoken word samples drowning among the murk, but the human presence is hardly comforting. This is end-of-the-world drone at its most captivating and consuming. Totally awesome.
