Music: Rock/Pop Earth w/ Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter

  • Sweethere_large

Drone druids Boris and Sunn O))) reined in their feedback on the 2006 collaboration, "The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep)," to clear the way for Sweet Hereafter singer Jesse Sykes to emerge from the swirl of cymbals and mournful guitar and lament things lost in a half croon, half croak. It was undeniably Altar's standout track. Thus, it seems safe to conjecture that Sykes' co-headlining set with dirge-masters Earth will evoke "The Sinking Belle"'s mixture of metal suffocation and post-rock expansiveness. Since reuniting, Earth have traded their glacial drones for Morricone-style twang, and Sykes' Marianne Faithful-meets-Beth Gibbons voice couldn't make a more fitting addition.
