about

Into Earth

"There’s something about drone that seems to really suit duos. Earth, SUNN O))), OM, Nadja... The list goes on. And now we can add Thraa to the mighty canon. While you could be fooled into thinking the tracks are meticulously notated compositions of heavy minimalism, their slowly unwinding, Sisyphean meditations are in fact recorded as single-take improvisations. The four pieces here will echo through your bones like the roar of a distant giant in a mythical valley and provide the warmth of a freshly flayed sheep’s skin. When the vocals kick in on the title track, it’s as if Kim Gordon has swapped her designer sparkles for a cockroach-black hoodie and signed to the Southern Lord label." (JR Moores, author of Electric Wizards: A Tapestry of Heavy Music, 1968 to the Present)

"With an evident liking for drone and doom alike, some of you jokers out there might suggest the album title is a declaration of Thraa’s music taste, but in truth these four compositions are rarely possible to pin down that glibly. ‘Move Among Them’ echoes Bardo Pond, via Mason’s unformed vocals and a soundbed of improv guitar, but it’s a Bardo Pond with no drums or rock influence; ‘Into Earth’ the song splices cleanish chords, a staticky underlay made on god knows what, and a more intelligible, sometimes singsongy Mason. If there are vocals on ‘Elgon’, this tape at its unfriendliest, they’re fully subsumed into the guitar-wall mire, but the 17 minutes of ‘Over Warm Stones’ offers respite – vox, and the FX afforded them, spiriting us to Liz Fraser country – even while one or both of Thraa use strings and pedals to spirit us down the plughole. A fine introduction" (Noel Gardner, The Quietus)
