Neither/Neither

Although their Warp Records peers—Aphex Twin, Autechre, LFO—are regarded as the vanguard of "intelligent dance music," the Black Dog were as equally deft, playful, and rambunctious through the early half of the '90s. Since rescuscitating the name in 2005, they've issued a slew of releases, and as Neither/ Neither reveals, they've gotten far darker and more negative with time.

Sheffield's The Black Dog are as politically "fucking furious" as ever, the track titles on their 12th album doubling as a hit list.
