about

‘Nothing prepares you for the standout track, “Jerusalem”, which provides the missing evolutionary link between Barry McGuire’s “Eve Of Destruction” and Nick Cave in best biblical mode.’

- Uncut Magazine

'A black-magical Devendra Banhart in a different time/place long before this freakfolk thing hit, the English bard Simon Finn released Pass The Distance, a sprawling, fractured, dense brew of dark acid-folk... The album’s centerpiece is “Jerusalem”, a six-minute, shiver-inducing crucifixion-of-Jesus exorcism that anticipates Current 93 as well as a bevy of lesser apocalyptic folkies. By its ecstatic, organ smashed final strains, you can’t but help imagining Finn sweaty and in a trance,
his guitar splintered and speaking different six-string languages.”

- Pitchfork

Hex; Or Printing In The Infernal Method
by Earth

supported by 5 fans who also own “Pass the Distance”

A partir de quand a germé dans l'esprit de Earth l'idée d'un album dans le style de Hex; Or Printing In The Infernal Method ? Neuf ans séparent cet album de Pentastar: In The Style of Demons mais il est d'une telle simplicité qu'on le croirait créé dans l'instant. Earth joue un drone simple infusé d'influences western : les titres sont cinématographiques, les arpèges à la guitare et la batterie se perdent dans de vastes et espaces. Simple... mais le voyage méditatif est immédiat et sans retour. Jordan Vauvert
