This is an arresting album that doesn't let go of your attention.
-
His most interesting work since Teenager of the Year, Dog in the Sand sounds like a slightly slower, rootsier version of that album.
-
Dog In The Sand' is unquestionably Frank Black's finest solo album.
-
Strangely enough, it seems the further Black distances himself from his heroic work in The Pixies, the better he gets.
-
His third record with the Catholics, "Dog In The Sand," furthers the ex-Pixies frontman's recent explorations into bare-bones rock'n'roll.
-
Having traded in affected spooky vocals and idiosyncratic song structures for straight-ahead rock, however, Black seems to suffer a crisis of confidence on "Dog in the Sand."
-
By and large, the disc is made up of ambitious but misguided attempts to elevate mundane rock 'n' roll to some kind of higher art form.
