Latest album: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (2022)

Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (2022)

I was familiar with Earthless, from their Rhythms from a Cosmic Sky album, which I heard not long after release (2007). If there's a style of music that I need less of, it's the kind Earthless peddle - that of the long form space rock jam. But if you're going to do it, you might as well do it right, and Earthless most certainly does. There are 3 long jams here, with the first being broken up into 2 parts. The last track 'Death to the Red Sun' is something special, with the kind of rave-up one rarely hears from modern bands who seem content to go along with image and sound, but little else. 52 years on from Guru Guru's UFO, and bands are still plowing that field looking for yields. Earthless takes the core of that sound and stretches it out. I really appreciate the energy the band brings to this recording. So yes, highly recommended, though I really didn't need another example. But this will likely outlast many others that are similar.
