Black Past
"Pitch Black" LP (edition of 300)
DA 001
Release Date: 7/24/12
Black Past is the musical solo vision of Cleveland based musician
Gregory Boyd and "Pitch Black" is his debut statement and Dangerous Age
001.
Alternatively titled "A Soundtrack for a Deranged Motorcyclist", "Pitch
Black" is a bleak narrative pulling no punches. Utilizing an array of
drums, percussion, synthesizers, guitars, and other various sound making
devices, Boyd creates a damaged repertoire of haunted motorik songs and
ghosted void stasis. There is an intensity and mystery buried in these
tracks that keep you hooked throughout and coming back for more as you
peel back each hidden layer to find new messages and meanings not
obvious upon your first encounter.
"Blown Out Mind" kicks the record off with it's repetitive drum clatter
on the fringes of disaster and in-the-red synth leads. The track snow
balls and collapses into "Brain Trouble", a blitzing and disarming
hypnotic grey cloud. "EG&S" (Mood Ring) will launch you into the
heart of the "Pitch Black" concept while "A Dark Ride Into the Sun"
rounds out the record with heavy analog riffing and dusty light waves.
Bizzare fidelities resonate throughout which perplex with old school,
truly D.I.Y., private basement session sound.
DA 001 is housed in a thick reverse matte finish jacket on 150 gram vinyl in a limited edition of 300 copies.
