The Earth - Primitive And Deadly - VINYL LP

Once called InchAmerica's Best Krautrock Band,Inch Møtrik has long since outgrown the boundaries of geography and imitation. On EARTH, their fourth full-length album, the Portland-based quintet sheds genre pastiche and boldly steps into their own orbit-less homage, more evolution.Where early sci-fi like Astounding Stories imagined futures grounded in scientific plausibility, EARTH occupies a realm where machinery hums with feeling and cosmic logic collides with soul. Here, synths shimmer with stardust, rhythms churn like solar flares, and vocals drift like signals from a lost planet. From the gravity-defying pulse of InchWeightlessInch to the tidal reckoning of InchUltimate Drive,Inch Møtrik charts a course through disorientation, beauty, and the sublime unknown.This isn't retro-futurism-it's the future, now. No tin-cone breastplates, no cartoon ladybots, no techbro rockets. Just fully realized sonic transmissions where science meets magic, and krautrock becomes something galactic.Møtrik aren't just referencing the genre-they're rewriting it. Thirteen years in, it's time to upgrade the superlative. Call them what they are the galaxy's best krautrock band. Album Tracks 1. Ultimate Drive 2. Weightless 3. Flood Tide 4. Blaupunkt 5. Contact 6. Still Life 7. Road Sound 8. Mask 9. Køan

Vinyl LP pressing. Brooklyn, NY's Primitive Weapons embody that moment where hardcore opens it's fists and embraces the grandeur of rock - where feral rage joins with melody and texture to transform into something even more enthralling. The band carries forth the tradition of the original post-hardcore spirit but does so in a thoroughly forward-charging way, bearing no shred of retro-glorification. Primitive Weapons is a modern-day beast, a hybrid of soaring wings and gnashing teeth. Sophomore album The Future of Death is an eight-song thrill ride, full of tribal thunder, hard grooves, dire screams, luminous guitars, and massive, mournful choruses that haunt for days. The Future of Death was recorded and mixed by Dean Baltulonis (Madball, Modern Life Is War) at The Wild Arctic, and mastered by Dave Gardner (Black Lips, Rocket from the Crypt) at Magneto Mastering. Primitive Weapons enters 2016, re-centered, recharged and ready to roll with The Future of Death, an album equally rabid and majestic, owning that space where aggression, melody, and texture join to create something new and timelessly powerful. Album Tracks 1. Ashes or Paradise 2. The Electric Drama 3. Panopticon Blues 4. Night Eyes 5. Whistle Past the Graveyard 6. Age of Denial 7. Old Miami 8. Widow Rehearsal

Earth's third album, 1996's Pentastar In the Style of Demons, is a classic of languid riff-worship, oozing with a thick, fuzzed-out goop that melts together Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Hendrix, drone, and ambient music. The result feels like a long, lonely drive through the desert, with inner and/or outer space as the only destination. Arguably the band's most rock-oriented album, Pentastar In the Style of Demons features the enduring InchhitInch single, InchTallahassee.InchThis 30th anniversary edition is on green-and-black mashup vinyl, and features a limited-edition wraparound art print with a reinterpretation of the album cover by contemporary artists Matt McCormick. Album Tracks 1. Introduction 2. High Command 3. Crooked Axis for String Quartet 4. Tallahassee 5. Charloteer (Temple Song) 6. Peace in Mississippi 7. Sonar and Depth Charge 8. Coda Maestoso in F (Flat) Minor
