EARTH - The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull
Finally fully morphed into a lumbering psych-twang beast, Earth step further sideways from their disciples (and label boss) in Sunn O))), continuing in the direction initiated on their previous Hex full-length. With an even bigger sound than before that bluesily lopes along like an instrumental Rex or Brightblack Morning Light without the Rhodes and woozy vox, your head is less likely to bang as much as bob along to the widescreen organ-and-pedal punctuations that slowly slam into Dylan Carlson's Telecaster in Bees' best moments. Featuring a cameo from Bill Frisell, even (not that odd a coupling, actually).
