Map Collection, the Oakland, California-based duo of Fletcher Pratt (Midori Records, Dub Sessions, Mind Gunk, etc.) and Curt Brown (RCN, Black Unicorn, Baingan Bharta, etc.), returns with their fourth album — the full-length cassette release ‘Salad Dog in Moon Shell’ — out September 2019 on Rubber City Noise as a limited edition of 50 tapes. Recorded throughout 2018 and 2019 at Life Changing Ministries in Oakland, ‘Salad Dog’ finds the pair collecting a range of sounds and textures across a myriad blend of rhythmic subtlety and noisy excursions via synthesizers, drum machines, samples, and electro-acoustics. Across 10 tracks and clocking in at just over an hour, MapCol is in full conceptual mode here in terrain that asks, “Who is Salad Dog?” and “What is Moon Shell?” and “What is that Funny Feeling?”
