In the ’90s Dylan Carson’s Earth played glacially slow metal under the influence of Sabbath, holy minimalism and, if we’re honest, heroin. In the noughties, a rehabilitated Carson refitted a still unflinchingly slow Earth with classy strings and early Fairport folk rock flavours.
Alone with distorted electric guitar as Drcarsonablbion, now he’s staked out sunblind in the desert to soundtrack a supposed Western with expansively frazzled bluesey instrumentals.
Fans of Neil Young’s Dead Man score will recognise the recipe, but Carlson’s spaghetti is thicker and heavier.
