“Two Dogs’, the first single off Arno Carstens’ new album, Atari Gala and it really sets the tempo for this landmark 10th studio album for South African rocker.

“I wrote ‘Two Dogs’ in Johannesburg last year. I was on tour with Springbok Nude Girls at the time, we had just gotten back to SA from London, recording and touring ‘Apes with Shades’. ‘Two Dogs’, and the whole album in fact, deals with the beauty and intricacies of life; triumphs of spirit and turbulence of everyday living” says the award-winning singer-songwriter.

The album art was designed by the internationally acclaimed & award winning executive creative director Rob McLennan (Network BBDO).

The title Atari Gala is a Japanese translation that implies a warning cry or celebration.“I painted the Japanese word “Atari” on a recent artwork to mimic a bird singing a message of warning.  That got me thinking that it could be a great name for a piece of music.  Because this is my 10th studio album, I wanted to emphasise a kind of celebration, not only of the 12 tracks on this particular album, but of the whole creative process that has brought me thus far.  Every song is an event or a tale, a celebration or a warning cry, that stems from life’s experiences” – says Arno Carstens.

ATARI GALA releases nationwide on the 10th of September.
