Black Dog

from Age of Anxiety by Rodney Cromwell

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    "Sounds like liquid gold. Age of Anxiety has renewed my faith in the digital age of electro pop" Malcolm Holmes (OMD)

    “Rodney Cromwell’s music belongs to the future. This quirky synth-pop is the sound of industrious robots and the modified toy orchestra hanging out at Argos, and songs like Barry was an Arms Dealer see Cromwell’s offbeat wit shine brightly” NME

    “Rodders joyous debut album, ‘Age of Anxiety,’... choice cuts include the frantic mode Mode-like ‘One Two Seven’ the magnificent, early New Order-ish ‘Black Dog’ and the Kraftwerkian ‘Barry Was An Arms Dealer’, not that Dusseldorf’s finest ever had a song title that good” Electronic Sound Magazine

    “A genuinely excellent album. It’s clever, it’s full of songs that instantly burrow into your head and, like all good pop albums, the majority of songs here could be singles in their own right” 8/10 XS Noize

    Comes shrink wrapped in an environmentally friendly plastic-saving cardboard sleeve designed by Matt Ashton with a free Happy Robots badge.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Age of Anxiety via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Well I don’t know when,
This Black Dog descended upon my home,
And followed me there on.
For there must have been,
Some switch, inside that got flicked
And turned this dog on.

Black Dog, this is not your home
Black Dog, leave me alone
Black Dog, this is not your home
Black Dog, leave me alone

It could be anywhere,
A bus a plane or in your home,
And then she jumps and bites you.

All this anxiety, can’t be that good for me.

And if a Black and Decker
Drilled a hole into my head,
Would it let this dog out?

Black Dog, this is not your home
Black Dog, leave me alone
Black Dog, this is not your home
Black Dog, leave me alone
Black Dog, this is not your home
Black Dog, leave me alone
Black Dog, this is not your home
Black Dog, leave me alone
