In the North [CD]

Sheffield's The Black Dog have always tested their tracks on the M1, the road they know best. In the North is their album made for that drive: every piece was worked on in the studio by day, then taken out on the motorway in different traffic, weather and light, and revised until it suited the journey. The track titles come from thoughts jotted down along the way, and the album captures the strange calm of travelling alone among hundreds of others, junctions coming and going on a road known by heart.

On CD from Dust Science.
