Earth: s/d, c/d?

I'm hoping Earth will be the subjects of the cover story for the next Burning Ambulance print edition; John Fell Ryan from Excepter interviewed Dylan and Adrienne a month or so ago for that purpose. I figured he'd have the basis for an interesting conversation about long-form improv, being in a group with your SO (his wife is also in Excepter), stuff like that. Hoping to get the piece soon.

listening to Hex. it demands to be listened to. not many albums have that simple purity of requirement. it is not entirely pleasurable but it is necessary, like childbirth

How do we feel about drcarlsonalbion? I like everything I've heard so far, but not more than Earth. Anybody check out the soundtrack to the German western (???), Gold? Looks very interesting...

So this drcarlsonalbion crowdfunded film + soundtrack...soundtrack is good and in the vein of the other solo drcarlsonalbion stuff: slow, buzzy guitar riffs played with remarkable restraint and a beautiful tone. The film is...kinda silly and not great? Anyone else see it?

it demands to be watched. it is not entirely pleasurable but it is necessary, like childbirth

came here to more or less repeat what I said three years ago. every time I listen to Hex it slows time. great album to pull out every odd summer or so

Wrong thread? Hex? Are you talking about bark psychosis? That album does slow down time, indeed. It sucks the movement out of time. I am not sure but there are evenings where codename is the best album of all time. Even better than hex. But then in hindsight it does not hold up. It's such an album of the moment.

I presume he means the Earth record named 'Hex'? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex;_Or_Printing_in_the_Infernal_Method

(That Bark Psychosis album is great too, though.)

lol I've not even heard that Bark Psychosis album in full. Codename Dustsucker is great though

New Dylan Carlson solo album next month

New Earth album is out. Seems to be a Carlson/Davies duo affair, with no other contributors

First impressions are pretty great.

Really full sound. Multiple Carlson dubs

Power chord riffs

The Colour of Poison (sic: they use the British English spelling) is their most rock/"metal" piece in a long time

ah..... it's always good to see the first correct spelling of colour by a lolmerican of the day.

Given his obsession with English folklore perhaps unsurprising that he uses the British English spelling

sorry, I didn't mean that as shitty as it probably sounded!

Thought I was kinda over this band but overheard most of the new one in a record store last week and really liked what I heard. Maybe I still like Earth after all.

Yeah, the previous three albums didn't really click with me, but this new one is great

Just me and Duke - no one else? The more I listen to the new one, the more I like it. Refreshing to hear the undiluted Earth formula again.

It occurs to me that DC is an easy guy to take for granted. I mean, he invented this sound whole cloth, and it's such a distinctive, singular sound. I've been disappointed by almost everything after Hex (which I still love), including the solo stuff that I kept compulsively buying for some reason, but this new one has definitely reignited my interest in the band.

Does anyone know if he's still exclusively playing the Tele? I assumed Dylan was a Tele guy all the way but some of the guitar tones on this new album sound very thick and humbucker-y to me.

i liked primitive and howling a lot, if the new one's even better hell yeah

and deadly*

New one is good yes

wait it came out in may?!??! what have i been doing

Yeah I liked silent but deadly pretty well but have slept on this one thus far.

It didn't help that he nailed the aesthetic very early with the bees made honey and so the two angels albums were disappointing.
