With the cassette release of House of Mighty, Minneapolis label Moon Glyph adds Deep Earth to its eclectic platter of audio delights. An entrancing specimen of the cybersonic, this Chicago trio calls to mind Implog, Pink Floyd and Richie Hawtin all at once. In the sample track Speak My Language distant voices emerge from ethereal synths as chthonic rhythms forge new streams through the back of your mind. For those open to the experience, Deep Earth engages to enlighten.
From Moon Glyph:
On a crest of rising action, Deep Earth's "House of Mighty" is indeed a structure built with substantial materials. Based in Chicago, the trio engage synthesized soundscapes which expand and expound over a syncopated groove. With guitar and live drum fortification the band realizes a cinematic heaviness that goes beyond the slight elettronico leanings. Subverting the ear, the band never builds to a climax of bombast or decoration, opting instead for sophisticated maneuvers above an adamant percussion that achieve an ascending tension.
