4 ZERO RECORDS – RELEASE SHEET
EARTHLING SOCIETY – BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
Neo space rockers, Earthling Society, fuse West Coast psychedelia, acid folk, and Krautrock in an angst ridden homage to faeries and vampires

 

Notes from the Underworld by Fred Laird

 

Like the Morlocks from H.G Well’s “The Time Machine”, Earthling Society has made the ascent from dark to light with our new album “Beauty and the Beast”.

 

A farewell to our more obvious space rock leanings, instead we have drunk deep from the well of visionaries such as Syd Barrett, Todd Rundgren, Kevin Ayers and John Cale. Not to mention our increasing obsession with the seven classic Utopian albums that the Moody Blues created from ’67 – 72.

 

Twelve string acoustics replace the heavy monotonous riffs that are associated with modern day psychedelia. Autoharps, harmonies and mellotrons weave in and out of concise kosmiche hymns. Whilst the seriously over recorded space jam has had its dick well and truly kicked in the dirt.

 

Still hell-bent on recording in every warehouse, kitchen and toilet; armed only with our trusty 24 track porta-studio; retaining our DIY ideology, dignity and our macrocosmic inward thinking, Earthling Society has created a psychedelic sound that reflects the other side of the mirror or a playroom steeped in summers dusk.

 

 

 

 

“Earthling Society makes what must be described as ‘traditional’ underground music shot through with a genuinely psilocybin novelty made by peaceniks of the ecstatic refusenik variety”.

Julian Cope

 

“Earthling Society are a shining light among today’s contemporary psych/space rock bands”.

Aural Innovations

 

 

 

Earthling Society will be playing indie festivals in the UK and Europe throughout the Summer, and the occasional gig in between. “Beauty and the Beast” is their fourth album, their first on 4 Zero Records.
