Black Dice Return With First Album In Nearly A Decade

'Mod Prog Sic' is the trio's seventh full-length release

Black Dice have revealed details of their first album in almost ten years, Mod Prog Sic.

Due out in October, it’s the first release on DFA Records label head and co-founder Jonathan Galkin’s new label, FourFour Records, and comes 25 years on from Black Dice’s formation in 1997. It’s their seventh full-length record in all. You can listen to lead track ‘White Sugar’ above.

With DFA now laying dormant as a label, Jonathan Galkin has launched FourFour Records, he says, to "seamlessly continue on with the artistic, creative work I did for the past 20 years, plus sign artists who I have been eager to work and collaborate with." Black Dice’s Beaches & Canyons from 2003 was the first full-length album released on DFA, "and there could be no more appropriate band in which to launch my new label," Galkin continues.

FourFour Records will release Mod Prog Sic on October 1, 2021.
