- Concrete Desert pairs Kevin Martin with drone metal royalty Dylan Carlson.
The Bug VS. Earth are releasing an album.
Concrete Desert is the second release from Kevin Martin and Dylan Carlson, and will be available in digital and vinyl formats via Ninja Tune from May 5th. Carlson played a crucial part in slowing metal down to a heavy, glacial pace in the early '90s as the leader of Earth, making him a fitting if unlikely collaborator for Martin, another practitioner of bass-heavy minimalism.
The duo have been playing live together in recent times (they recently performed at Berlin's CTM Festival) and released an EP together back in 2014. Concrete Desert was recorded in LA on the occasion of Ninja Tune's 25th anniversary and comes with bonus tracks featuring serial-Martin collaborator JK Flesh.
Listen to "Snakes Vs Rats."
