Enemy Earth - Bardo

Enemy Earth’s second full length release for Eat Concrete continues where their sold out debut 'Interstellar Commute' ended, taking their psychedelic sound to a much deeper and emotive level by using live piano, guitar and bass onto layers of effects and lo-fi sampling. It offers eight songs with recurring themes and instruments, all mixed into two big sessions, each filling one side of the LP. The result is very obscure yet beautiful and enigmatic, sounding like a '70's psych-rock / ambient jam session where Bibio, Fripp and Eno all play along with Buddhist chants and drums. 'Bardo' is a journey into the unknown, or, as the artists themselves describe: 'for a state of mind or transition in or from one’s life'. Subtle use of random conversational samples enhances the transporting, mind bending effect of the music. If groups like Solar Bears and Seahawks represent some kind of glowing peak in the lysergic experience, Enemy Earth are the twitching end to the trip hours later.
