Earth, The Bees Made Honey in the Lions’ Skull – Music Review

Posted on 01. May, 2008 by Administrator in Music

Long, winding dusty psychedelic jams without the annoying whining. The figurehead of Earth and ole buddy of Kurt Cobain, Dylan Carlson has done it all, from drone ambience to the industrial madness of Sunn 0))) to the dark metal of Sleep, and here he’s taken his music to yet another realm. It’s a band driven album, with organ, bass, drums, and his winding guitar seemingly doing guided jazz improvisations in the vein of Ennio Morricone and Brian Eno. It’s dark and moody and most pleasing like a peyote fudge cake with nuts.

Good For: Indian sweat tents, film noirs that end on red clay plateaus, alien abductions.
Bad For: Group Therapy, Jerry Spinger post-show parties, anyone who buys US Weekly.
