The Black Dog — “Silenced” Originally formed back in 1989, The Black Dog has attained legendary status in electronic music circles. The original lineup included Ken Downie, Ed Handley and Andy Turner; Handley and Turner left TBD after just three releases to pursue their own project, Plaid. Downie was left to his own devices as the remaining member, releasing numerous works on General Production Recordings, Warp and Warner ESP with a variety of collaborators. Finally, he teamed up with the guys of Dust Science and began the latest chapter in The Black Dog’s ever-evolving music lineup. This brings us to “Silenced,” Black Dog’s first full-length release on Dust Science Records. It is classic Black Dog, with an otherworldly and entrancing vibe yet visceral delivery; a Classic in the making!
Mississippi native Donna Ladd and partner Todd Stauffer founded the Jackson Free Press in 2002 in the capital city. The heavily awarded local newspaper did many investigations heralded across the state and nation and served as a paper of record due to its diversity, inclusion, in-depth reporting and deep connection to readers and dedication to narrative change in and about Mississippi. In 2022, the nonprofit Mississippi Free Press, founded by Ladd and JFP Associate Publisher Kimberly Griffin in 2020, purchased the journalism assets and archives of the Jackson Free Press. A Google grant through AAN Publishers enabled Newspack's integration of the JFP archives into the Mississippi Free Press website to become part of a more searchable archive of recent Mississippi history and essential journalism.
