Dylan Carlson's Earth return to Dublin on monday march 5, as part of an excellent triple bill, with Mt Eerie & Ô Paon as special guests.Earth's line up for this performance is guitarist Dylan Carlson and drummer Adrienne Davies, cellist Lori Goldston (Nirvana, David Byrne, Black Cat Orchestra, etc.) and bassist Karl Blau (K Records, Laura Veirs, Microphones, etc.). Earth"The second half of the Angels of Darkness/Demons of Light is at hand and earth are ready to unveil it on the highways and byways of the UK and EU. Recorded in the same 2 week session as produced the first part, Angels of Darkness/Demons of Light II carries on in the freely improvised/folkloric vein of the title track from the last release. Tape was rolled and spontaneous composition occurred. The line-up again consists of Adrienne Davies on drums and percussion(on this release there is more percussion of all sorts), Lori Goldston returns on cello, and Karl Blau plays bass. This marks the first time the band on the record has toured outside of the US west coast in preparation for the album. It again has amazing artwork by Stacey Rozich. Many reviewers have found this half more hopeful and less dark and death oriented than previous work. Song titles include 'sigil of brass', 'his teeth did brightly shine', 'multiplicity of doors' (a waltz!), 'the corascene dog', and 'the rakehell' ( a completely unanticipated direction for earth on this album). The next year will see much touring from earth and some startling solo endeavours from Dylan Carlson."Heavy, lush and melodic, it draws inspiration from folk-rock bands like the Pentangle and Fairport Convention, and the North African Tuareg band Tinariwen. It is deeply textured, interlaced with fluid, nuanced improvisation. Angels acknowledges Earth’s jazz-infused Americana of 2008’s The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull as well as their singular, epic, glacial heavinessMount EerieMount Eerie represents the latest evolution of Phil Elverum’s musical vision. Formerly known as The Microphones, Phil changed his project’s name to Mount Eerie while maintaining his subtle, lo-fi, and lyrically dense fuzz-folk aesthetic. Elverum explained this change in an 2003 interview with Discoder, asserting that “Mount Eerie is a new project. The Microphones was completed, or at least at a good stopping point. I did it because I am ready for new things. I am new.”
