Earthmen and Strangers’ songs are unmistakably hatched from the Arizona desert. Their sound calls to mind the solitary, cactus-strewn landscape. As soon as you press play your brain turns into the desert and the music becomes one of those sand monsters from the movie Tremors crawling in and out of your brain to a steady rhythm, filling all spaces at once.
It’s a garage experience with a more cleaned up recording than typical garage projects, and it’ll open your sonic mind. Ryan Wong (of Tokyo Electron, The Wongs, Destruction Unit, Yuma Territorial Prison Guards, and Digital Leather) is the frontman of Earthmen, and he and his bandmates have assembled an album that will be a staple for garage rock enthusiasts. Give them a listen here. And buy the album at FDH records. —Nick Jiampa
