The great news this morning is that a brand new album, Full Upon Her Burning Lips is set for release on May 24th. Earth are Dylan Carlson on guitar and bass and Adrienne Davies on drums and percussion, Here’s the first taste of the album with the track … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Earth – Cats On The Briar

With each album over the last decade … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Earth – Primitive and Deadly
I was lucky enough to witness Earth live in concert in Sydney last night and it was a totally absorbing and sonically hypnotic experience with the Dylan Carlson-led trio playing a cross-section of music from across the second incarnation of the band’s existence. A few new songs were aired which sounded as good as anything else they’ve done. The new album Primitive and Deadly is out … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Earth | From The Zodiacal Light

Listening to both these records over the weekend I sensed a real connection and some common threads running between the two of them. Made from two different environments and perspectives but sharing some of the same sonic aesthetics, they are disparate personalites travelling on opposite sides of the same road, with the same destination. Earth is a band that revolves around Dylan Carlson, the one … Continue reading REVIEW: EARTH vs BRIGHTBLACK MORNING LIGHT
