LIVE@THE_BLACK_BOX_07262024

DOGTOOTH is an album reclaiming the black African macabre as a utopian space, where pain, joy, paranoia and pleasure can be explored with equal and seamless ferocity. This album is a brother’s Grimm style collection of vignettes set in this world, starring Nigerian musician and filmmaker LINTD, as the titular creature DOGTOOTH. An impossible creature of paranoia, lust and anxiety, who must overcome its very nature to survive.

This work is act 2 of LINTD’s The Black Impossible, a collaboration with Sheffield born producer Porter Brook, where the 2 explore the extremities of black sound as utopian technology. When asked about this project LINTD expands, saying “ the work exists as 3 distinct acts of music, representing the black utopias that manifest on the sonic extremes of our current anti-black reality. In order, they are Act 1 SMOOCH Soundsystem, Act 2 Dogtooth, Act 3 Funeral Rites on Planet Saturn. They are speculative interpretations of real life black underground realities springing utopian, innovative life into western society without the much-needed support or even credit they need to sustain themselves.” LINTD extends the black macabre in DOGTOOTH as a place for the validation of black anxiety with lessons of solitude and the power of God and love.

LINTD adds when questioned about the title, “it is about a character who eats dog teeth for lunch. Something about that image haunted me, there is little or no nutritional value to dogs, and he doesn’t even eat the meant, yet he persists out of pure pleasure. It is sickening and that experience is how paranoia feels. Sharp but also somehow slippery, a warning and a curse. The extreme of what it can feel like to navigate the paranoia of white society as n African migrant. Nauseating but also I’m hoping, kinda cute.”
