Earth - The Driver

[CraigTheMusicDude]

best band ever

[TomBandfield]

Holy crap... Just stunning. I have the 'Earth 2' album, that's pretty cool, but this is just something else :|

[MrAnchell]

Cowboys in slowmotion

[randypan71]

OMG!!!!!.....this is just a pearler of a track.....hope the rest of the CD is like this....any recommendations folks?

[jaretthale78]

@randypan71 not in the same vein, but earth 2 is there most intense album.

[gdyby]

@randypan71 Almost everything from Earth (especially Hibernaculum) and maybe BlueBob, a project of David Lynch & John Neff.

[BLAMMENH]

αγαπώ <3

[carlosferrao]

If you are a musician you can jam over this track using E flat minor pentatonic (Eb, Gb, Ab, Bb, Db)

[TilderWasHere]

@carlosferrao Thanks for figuring out! I've just jammed to this for like half an hour!

[carlosferrao]

@TilderWasHere No worries. Any other Earth tracks you need 'figuring out' just let me know. Except for their earlier noisier stuff, I don't think those are on any specific key so to speak!

[PisauraXTX]

Ever since I'm listening to these guys, my breathing is only half as fast as before...

[TheBadgerslayer]

The only thing that rivals the music is the album artwork itself.

[neckrochylde9]

beautiful album art

[UncleLucio]

so stoked to see them tomorrow

[manowarrior71]

Fucking mesmerizing.!!!

[blacksnor]

the link of this song should be on the #1 top comments on highdeas,,, sooooo bad,,,

[TheNeuroticBassPlay]

I've listened to this album so many times, but I still don't know all of the song titles because the album is always listened to from start to end.

[williewpg]

Does anybody know anything similar to this? (if that is possible)

[paultwomany]

@williewpg

Closest stuff I can think of is Desert Sessions Vol I & II, namely the "Cowards way out" and "Girl Boy Tom" tracks off that album.

[OmgFlim]

@williewpg Bohren & Der Club of Gore. It's noticeably softer, but you might find the mood similar.

[sociopathicregret]

@OmgFlim yeah actually thats not a bad comparison

[XenophonZolatta]

@williewpg why not just listen to earth? you really think any band "like this" is going to even be on the same planet?(no pun intended)

[howardj23475]

Listening to this song while it's raining right now.

Amazing stuff.

[zemechanism]

Of course this track features the genius of Bill Frisell!

[iceonaboy]

Thats awesome! Its like death country

[Skelic]

Great dreamy music, got this track recommended by a friend and I enjoy it much.

[MsLovermuffin]

my ex boyfriend got me this album and ive loved it ever since i even bought it on vinal

[MJMorrey]

Earth are too good. Mental album.. so is the hex album.

[scrszn1]

that's for sure one of best bands i've discovered in last year

[aeolianharmony]

Is this song supposed to stop at 4:20?

[BTenfold]

I finally got the chance to listen to this masterpiece while lifted, and I must say I found myself in space. I had my eyes open, the lights off in my friend's basement; all the little lights from devices appeared as stars, and I was one with outer space. Simply. Amazing.

[thomasthomtithom]

Fuck, i can`t explain , mind blowing, wander in other dimension, awesome!!

[thieverycorp24]

is it just me or do all their songs sound the same?

[speed0noize]

@thieverycorp24 just you

[Trgr66]

Thank you folks for introducing mre to EARTH. I had not discovered them so soon if it was'nt for those suggestions. And, EARTH is the best band i've heard this year. Last year it was sunnO))). So, i almost only listen to old SWANS, sunnO))), Earth, Thr. Gristle and Neurosis. Makes me feel calm and valiumized.

[RasOm1]

where is my mind?

[kniffenkniffen]

@MrThatoneidiotguy idk, but I was defiantly reminded of pink floyd when I listened to this.

[DEADBODYi]

DEADBODYINK

[solomaster12]

@MrThatoneidiotguy Not really, Pink Floyd creates an atmosphere just as Earth does with their music. Its a totally different atmosphere, but its still in the same universe. Get what im sayin? Now if were comparing Earth and Lil Wayne, then i understand.

[devilsmurf]

sweet

[BoyfromSevilla]

earth is some kick ass act

[W4363]

i wana take drugs right now

[theartofnotbeingseen]

i play this for my daughter when i put her to bed.she's out by the time the songs over.

thanks, earth.

[sircrumbum]

yea it takes a shit on pink floyds face!



[ghettochildusa]

love this album, almost as much as HEX

[uberdoouche]

Sex'd to this song.

[TheLoveslug]

OMFG!!! A USEFUL SITUATION ON YOU TUBE THAT HELPS PEOPLE NEW TO DRONE??? amazing. see what earth does?? Also Any songs like Sunn O)))'s Hunting and gathering? that's the whole reason i started listening to drone!!

[raysovthesun]

if you like this song, go on the Southern Lord Records website. They let you download certain songs (including this one ) as samples!!!. I got this, a song from the HEX album, and some sunn 0))) among other stuff.

[chronicreptile]

Its perfect.

[mikexlong]

it's important to forget about genres...sunn o)) and earth are both drone but they sound completely different.

[HenuLaine]

This sounds so American. In a good way. I feel like I'm in the book Holes.

[LadrayTheDruid]

You guys should check out older Shape of Despair. From the album Shades of...

that stuff is a totally new atmosphere.

Check out "... in the mist" by them

[MalumObscurum]

I've always felt like Sunn O))) and Earth are like a sort of... Yin & Yang of music.

[HuevosLibertad]

Earth and weed for days.

[nis163]

simply astonishing

[Sarmaisterz]

this song opened up tje world of slow music .

[Giganotabehemoth87]

Timed seems to have just stopped.Makes me feel all warm this does.

[klaunmaan]

it feels right now.. like time's catching up with me

[Sand701]

The day I started to like Earth, is the day when my mind expanded drastically.

[TheBlackCrayon77]

@Sand701

I'm right there with you mt friend...

[DEADBODYi]

@Sand701

yha if your shooting smack ......... and thats not a joke

[Galethoras]

@Sand701 I just started yesterday, I regret it took me 21 years to find them.

[DigitalBeesTV]

One of the most hypnotic albums I have ever listened to.

[DestroyEmos]

me and my buds smoked some nug last nite i put this shit on and we all just laid on the floor and zoned

[DarkFulanito]

Suuuun OOO)))) boooooooooores!

Earth kick ass! ;)

[OmarXRodriguezXLopez]

desert struggle, nuff said

[Shinobi1010]

its amazing how Earth take a riff that i would otherwise find lacking to play by myself and turn it into an entire soundscape of awe and pure sound

[Caconymic]

This makes me picture one of those swampy bayous in Louisiana, in the middle of the day, the sun beating down upon the soaked ground.

[jmatts78]

I was in a shitty mood all day, then I started listening to tracks from this album right here on the tube. Mellowed me out nicely.

[Panikdemet]

reminds me of western movies

[nilzardo]

lol. I had the same western kinda feeling when listening to this song. The landscape in my mind turned to dusty old Amercia immediately.

[TheGreatBubinga]

I love westerns... hah

[warwick487]

take a couple hits of acid, lay down on the grass in an open field (or a farm, if you can get to one) and listen to this. it's magical.

[funkmasta666]

Oh my god, I can only imagine

[MrOFoxy]

This song makes me think of being in a boat in Miami bay, early in the morning, and watching the sun slowly rise above the cranes and boatyards, the cool mist off the bay over my face, its vivid.

[stopglobalswarming]

Play "Planet Caravan," and watch a sunset.

[InBloom10]

take half an eighth of mushrooms then listen to planet caravan.

[piledriver89]

its abot the melvins

[Sinsyla]

a new add to my playlist ;))

[ozzysab]

FUCKIN MINT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VinizaoD]

i'm feel deep in Seattle.

[randoolymiester]

Reminds me of a Fastway song off the movie soundtrack for Trick or Treat, think it was 'tear down the wall's'.

[mdk9000]

Am a big fan now after hearing 3 songs of theirs. This is my kind of music - take a listen to Engine of Ruin. Never heard anything so good!!

[Masterslosey]

I can say the same thing!! Just became a fan and I really like Engine of Ruin.

[Witchfinder90]

Earth kicks ass.Best drone i ve heard.Sunn 0)) and Boris kick ass too.

[nycic]

This is pure dope. Breaking bad on your bitch ass. It makes me want to burn a damn tree right now. Sick.

[ArwenApathy]

I feel this song vibrating throughout my whole body.

[Larz898989]

This Rules.

[ltftw]

Sounds like an epic build up to a climax. But nothing happens.

[DieChavScum]

That's what drone is... the same repetitive crap all over and over again.

But then again, i listen to speed metal, so it's 2 different worlds.

[harveydeadman]

but at least with earth there is an underlying beat, as opposed to just powerchord, powerchord, powerchord, oddtime, powerchord........

[torrentANONYMOUScodc]

loli hope that's not a jab at Sleep.

[NuclearGuru350]

Atmosphere, bro.

[Kilgorin10]

Fair enough. Drone isn't for everyone.

[W0lframTarant]

New Earth has a much lusher sound than other drone metal. The drones, rather than feeling oppressive or monochromatic, tower over the mix, creating a deep atmosphere. How you can not listen to this and be transported by it is beyond me.

[TheSilentAstronaut]

@W0lframTarant try fuck buttons, they are drone electro, and they have nice tunes.

[W0lframTarant]

@TheSilentAstronaut Wow, I just found Fuck Buttons a week ago.

Forest Swords is nice too, very similar to hex-era earth with a bit of dub and such added

[TheSilentAstronaut]

@W0lframTarant nice liking them. since we are in th drone subject, also check out lichens. that guy is awesome

[ACDC666SatrianiVai]

all my mates think im wierd cus i lyk this song...... i think its frickin epic

[doomreaperambient]

this music isn't for everyone, I consider special the people who like drone music, so far I haven't meet anyone who likes to sit a hear to teeth of lions rule the divine complete, exept for me, I have a dream that someday I will meet a girl with an earth t-shirt, and she will be mi wife

[harveydeadman]

I could sit and listen to teeh of lions rule the divine with you brotha. I think its just sunn 0))) that I cant really get into. more time maybe.

[punxtr18]

Yeah, still trying to get into Sunn. Most tell me it only works when seen live. Damn.

[ozzysab]

I saw them live in barcalona- it is the most epic thing i have ever seen in my life, it was nuts....

[stopglobalswarming]

re: get into Sunn. Try watching the sped up version, then it makes sense.

[punxtr18]

Still doesn't... at all. In fact, I like it less. I going to see them live. That's what I'm going to do.

[stopglobalswarming]

Drink some Jagermiester, straight, out of the coldest spot in your fridge, then try listening to old Black Sabbath albums. Come back to this song then.

[mixmastermikepwt]

if you have to drink to appriciate a band/song, then they are doing something wrong

[Shinobi1010]

yeah i totally agree with all of y'all. sunn o))) takes time. i ended up starting out with burning witch haha but yeah i've never come across a girl with an earth t-shirt although one of my ladyfriends likes sunn o)))'s music its kinda cool haha

doom on brothers

[DarkFulanito]

pretty mystical in my opinion

[LordOfThisWorld74]

Man this is great

[WitchKvltToday]

God, this song rules so much! Perfect toking music. I should make a video-photo slideshow of my pictures from Utah and have this song as the music. It would fit perfectly! It's drone with a country twist.

[deadsurfkiss]

This definitely reminds me of soundtrack music to Deadman, I would use this for like a gritty western, like 3:10 to Yuma

[radioamor]

Where every other post-rock band goes for those histrionic, uplifting, Godspeed-esque crescendos, Earth just kind of plateaus...I think their restraint is what makes them so great (among other things).

[baconmanager]

dylan carson still impresses me to this day! I agree only way to jam this lp is on vinyl!

[TheBeatlesAreBack1]

There's only one way to listen to this album, and it's on vinyl

[cardboarddalek]

while high?

[Onestepmoreyoudie]

So true.

Love the Bible-bound packaging.

[ImOutOfCigs]

Nothing could be better when listening to this completely stoned.

[fastville]

awesome. these guys should score a film.

[mmarconato]

rent Deadman with Johnny Depp and listen to the soundtrack. Neil Young did an amazing job. sounds a lot like this music.

[effeilensucre]

This song reminded me of Dead man too, the first time I was listening to it...

[rubengrappig]

Great song, great album!!

[438MillionBC]

This could only be better if I were high. Great shit!

[analfrost]

entering drone trance....whoaa!

lush track.
