Bug Vs. Earth - Concrete Desert 2LP

Ninja Tune Records
Like master painters exploring a subject over a lifetimes work, Kevin Martin and Dylan Carlson The Bug and Earth, respectively have each been mining and defining their genres for more than 20 years. Theyre united by an interest in really an obsession with heaviness. They search for, examine and break the boundaries between beautiful and ugly, minimal and maximal, light and dark but The Bug and Earth always make music that is heavy in the most thrilling of ways. Earth, and its founding member Carlson, first appeared in the early 90s, and came to prominence with their Sub Pop release "Earth 2". An exercise in SLOW distorted droning minimalist riffage, their debut was the blueprint for what Dylan coined at the time "ambient metal, a style still being pushed forward on his latest Southern Lord release "Primitive And Deadly. Kevin Martin's career spans the same timeframe. Techno Animal, Ice, God, Razor X, King Midas Sound, and of course the The Bug moniker. All of which explore(d) the fringes of experimental and heavy music. With his recently released "Angels & Devils" LP receiving high praise across the board, he once again put his sonic stamp on the here and now with his collaborators Liz Harris (of Grouper), copeland, Miss Red, Gonjasufi, Flowdan, Death Grips, Justin Broadrick (Godflesh/Jesu), and Warrior Queen. These two uncompromising outsiders met via the visual artist Simon Fowler (Angels & Devils.) Simon arranged for Dylan to come to a King Midas Sound gig, but Martins trademark use of a powerful strobe light meant that the epileptic Carlson couldnt enter the room. Undeterred, Carlson featured King Midas Sounds music in a podcast, and the pair eventually decided to collaborate around Angels & Devils.
