The Bug & Earth

The Bug and Earth, aka Kevin Martin and Dylan Carlson, have announced that they will release a collaborative album, titled ‘Concrete Desert’, next month. Justin Broadrick also gets in on three bonus tracks. It’s quite the noise-maker making-noise party.

“Dylan’s a master at amplifying the flavour of America, but not the side we see in this Trump climate”, says Martin of working with Carlson. “The American dream is like a nightmare under Trump [but Dylan captures the] best side of that dream, a utopian openness. I hear the writing of Cormac McCarthy in his music. His playing conjures deserts, and wide open spaces”.

The newly minted duo will be playing a few live shows in April too, hitting Heaven in London on 12 Apr and the Belgrave Music Hall in Leeds on 13 Apr.

Check out the first track to be released from the album, ‘Snakes Vs Rats’, here:
