Urdog – Long Shadows: 2003-2006
Urdog – Long Shadows: 2003-2006 is a compilation of the strange and ahead of its time band Urdog. In the tradition of Acid Folk and Experimental psychedelic music Urdog pushes the envelope. They use echoing electric guitars, folk instrumentation, tribal percussion and freak folk vocals. The sound is strange, otherworldly and lysergic. They share musical resonance with Espers, Fern Knight, Alison Cotton, Fursaxa, Comets On Fire, Six Organs Of Admittance, Sun Burnt Hand Of Man, Cerberus Shoal, and Tau.
This collection from Urdog puts together the best of this largely unknown band with a new mix and master for the best representation of their sound. The chanting droning vocal style with trans-personal lyrics combines with strummed acoustic instruments, fuzzed synth, heavily effected electric guitar sounds and organs striking a balance between acid folk and acid rock.
Urdog – Long Shadows: 2003-2006 is a long overdue revisiting of the obscure bands from the acid folk movement of the 2000s. During this time there was an explosion of strange and experimental drone, noise rock, art rock and acid folk. Artists were using new approaches to music that were improvisational and inspired by inner feeling and listening to the other musicians. They tied in the power of the experimental spirit of the 1960 and 1970s. Taking folk sounds and blitzing them with contemporary effects and sonic experiments. This scene was one of artist making music that was more like an abstract painting.
