‘Stray
Dog Army’ is a compilation of five Mole Harness tracks
recorded over two years. This version is the first release
on James’ own Stray Dog Army label, and also includes
a nine minute new track not on the Japanese version. The
five tracks have various different origins. ‘Stray
Dog Army’ was originally part of a live soundtrack
to Kenneth Anger’s film ‘Inauguration of the
Pleasuredome’, which was first performed in early
2003. ‘Ending too soon’ was written in 2002
for a proposed 7 inch of one minute tracks which was never
released, while ‘Ripples on underground lakes’
was completed just after the ‘All Your Memories…’
album. These three tracks are bookended by two brand new,
more minimalist pieces, and the 24 minute CD comes in a
card sleeve with cover photo by Cecilia Ek. This release
marks something of a watershed for Mole Harness, as it collects
together all remaining tracks written or begun on the sampler
which first inspired the project 3 years ago.
This EP was originally
released as a limited edition 3" CD on the Japanese
label Universal Frequencies in July 2004. Click here
