Earthling Society – Ascent To Godhead (2017) [Bandcamp FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

Earthling Society are the UK’s leading Pagan Psychedelic / Krautrock band. Formed in the North West Of England in 2005, E-Society have released 6 acclaimed albums in as many years and have been championed by the likes of Julian Cope & Stuart Maconie as well as playing alongside such great acts as Damo Suzuki, The Groundhogs & Hawkwind. “Ascent to Godhead” consists of brand new compositions improvised in the studio. No Hawkwind-esque generators are to be found which are synonymous with the space rock genre. Instead band’s provided a calamitous howl more reminiscent to the Birthday Party than to 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, Tidori 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 this year. Proving that earthling Society were belting this stuff out long before the current psych scene with it Elevators’ call to arms and Butthole Surfers splashdown.
