More than 20 years after recording their last record, Cough, Black Eyes returns with
Hostile Design. The album is comprised of six all-new songs, written directly in the wake of the band’s April 2023 reunion shows.
Hostile Design was recorded at Tonal Park studios over three days, with Ian MacKaye
resuming his role as producer and Don Godwin engineering.
The instrumentation returns to Cough’s two drums, bass, guitar and sax lineup, but
adds some fresh elements. Live multichannel dubbing, now a standard of their
shows, has been integrated into the performances, as have electronic drum triggers
and samples as well as the occasional bass clarinet passage.
In the years since their initial dissolution, each member has pursued their own
creative paths, including drone rock, avant techno, ambient, sonic collage, visual art,
video work and more. In coming back together,
