UK space/psych rock favorites
Earthling Society
return with their new album
Ascent To Godhead
, their second album of 2017.
Ascent To Godhead
is the fleetwood psychonauts' second release on Riot Season, the first being their 2014 album
England Have My Bones
(REPOSE 040LP, 2014) which got great reviews across the board. Whereas
Zen Bastard
was a re-imagining of ancient songs from the back catalog,
Ascent To Godhead
consists of brand new compositions improvised in the studio. No
Hawkwind
-esque generators are to be found, which is often found to be synonymous with the space rock genre. Instead, there is a calamitous howl more reminiscent of
Birthday Party
than
Gong
. Earthling Society's unique song writing abilities remain however; where no song starts and ends the same, constantly morphing into something new. Jazz and Eastern rhythms are at the forefront of
Ascent To Godhead
, taking inspiration from
Alice Coltrane
,
Sun Ra
,
Far East Family Band
,
Midori Takada
, amongst others. This is no hippy claptrap from the sunshine playroom, it's an album that ties your brain in knots, and oozes spiritual meaning. Also included is the long lost garage rocker "Can You Levitate?". Recorded in 2009 and only unearthed earlier in 2017,
Ascent To Godhead
proves that Earthling Society were belting this stuff out long before the current psych scene. Alice Coltrane inspired, hand-painted artwork; Blue vinyl; Edition of 400.
