Background notes
Archive material and source history
Small Black is an electronic trio from Brooklyn formed by Josh Kolen, Jordan Minkoff, and Juan Pieczanski. They started with a self-titled EP in 2010 that had a dreamy, experimental quality to it. The following year's 'New Chain' was their first full album, mixing ambient textures with more straightforward songwriting.
Their 2013 album 'Limits of Desire' leaned into introspective themes, while 2015's 'Best Blues' took a turn toward dance-oriented sounds. By 2018's 'Cheap Dreams,' they'd circled back to atmospheric production. Songs like 'Boys Life' and 'Despicable Dogs' show their knack for wrapping melancholic melodies in warm synth layers.
Their music has always floated between genres, part ambient electronica, part indie rock, which has made them hard to pin down. They've kept a consistent lineup and a fairly steady output, working mostly within a hazy, textured electronic palette that feels both intimate and slightly detached.
