Seattle's
purveyors of monolithic minimalist rock, EARTH, have confirmed
their first live actions for 2014 and the initial murmurs of a new LP.
This
Spring, EARTH will trek into the American Midwest, centered
around this year's massive Big Ears Festival in Knoxville on March 29th
and 30th, where they share the stage with Steve Reich, Television, Jonny
Greenwood, John Cale, Stephen O'Malley, Oren Ambarchi, Tim Hecker, Low and
countless more, followed by Mission Creek Festival in Iowa City on April
2nd, sharing a bill with the likes of Philip Glass, Oneohtrix Point Never, Wolf
Eyes and many others. This is the first tour EARTH has routed
since 2012 while supporting their sprawling Angels Of Darkness, Demons
Of Light Part II LP released via Southern Lord that year.
EARTH is currently mixing
tracks in Seattle and while it remains shrouded in mystery, EARTH's
founder and lead guitarist, Dylan Carlson has publicly stated that it contains
some of the heaviest material they've written in years.
Though EARTH remained
largely dormant since 2012, Carlson has spent much of that time focused on solo
material, releasing a series of short run releases and touring across Europe
throughout the later part of 2013.
