Though best known for his manifestly fried brand of noise-rap, the music of DJ Dog Dick (born Max Eisenberg) has by now evolved into a complex tangle of influence and ambition. Eisenberg has been in the game for quite some time, and as his songwriting has evolved, so has his milieu. With THE LIFE STAINS, Eisenberg runs the ragged specter of avant-pop through an aged piss-barrel of rotting youth and romantic discontent, wielding all manner of hip-hop esoterica and splayed shards from the noise/post-punk canon of musical idioms. Produced and engineered by Eisenberg and Hoss label head Brad Hurst over three years in both Baltimore and New York City, The Life Stains is a singular collision of hi-fi studio polish and lo-fi grit featuring appearances from an ensemble cast of underground all-stars including Greg Fox (Guardian Alien, ex-Liturgy) , Dustin Wong (ex-Ponytail), Joe Williams (Motion Graphics/White Williams), David Jacober (Dope Body), Peter Blasser, Margaret Chardiet (Pharmakon), Owen Gaertner (Horse Lords), Ryan Woodhall (Yellow Tears), Mick Meszaros (Dysgenix), and Jeremy Nissan (Yellow Tears).
Eisenberg has cultivated underground infamy for the last decade, coming up in the aughts noise scene as a member of Nautical Almanac. Since, he has maintained parallel lives as a top-flyte, home-brew modular synthesist (recording as Dog Synth), as one-half of Dog Leather (alongside Sewn Leather), reigning enfant terribles of the noise-rap non-scene, and, with Pictureplane, in the amped and aptly-monikered Dickpic. Most recently, Eisenberg and Hurst have contributed production to the forthcoming debut LP from NYC rap unit Ratking, SO IT GOES (due April 8 on XL Recordings). With The Life Stains, DJ Dog Dock takes his rightful place as the Right Coast's reigning slime-pop auteur mutante.
