Paw Tracks Years
After their contract with DFA/Fat Cat was over, Black Dice took the remaining DFA material in 2007 and released it as Load Blown on the Animal Collective label Paw Tracks. The band made their first music video, a visual mash up of images culled from television and the Internet featuring the single “Kokomo” off the album. In 2009 the band released their fifth studio album Repo.
Visual art has been a key counterpart to the music, with all record-sleeve design made by band members. Artists Ara Peterson and Danny Perez have made videos for songs, and Mr. Perez has contributed a live video mix to the band's live set since fall of 2005, Perez would later direct ODDSAC with Animal Collective supplying the music. Animal Collective member Noah Lennox said about Black Dice in an interview with The Milk Factory in 2005: " I feel like the wisest things I’ve learned about being in a band I learned by watching them." In early 2009, he confirmed in an interview with Magic that he looks to Black Dice "as a model for a band. I feel like as a band, I can't speak for the other guys, but certainly for myself, like I modelled the way I approach to everything with the band watching the way Black Dice did it."

“And I cannot find the place
Where his paw is the snare!
Little One! Oh, Little One!
I am searching everywhere!”

“Mee of these
Nor skilld nor studious, higher Argument
Remaines, sufficient of it self to raise
That name, unless an age too late, or cold
Climat, or Years damp my intended wing
Deprest, and much they may, if all be mine,
Not Hers who brings it nightly to my Ear.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
