iTunes Review

A combination of two Texans and two Brits, this international quartet creates baroque pop that’s impatient and maddening, explosive and impossible to pigeonhole. Taking a page from the Flaming Lips playbook and injecting a manic scenery change at every pause, the Earlies transcend the bucolic haze of their debut album — a collection of EPs named These Were the Earlies — and dive into a studio experimentalism that will leave your head swimming. The title track trudges along to a slow, driving beat, slightly staggered harmonies and the sound of synthesizers and phase shifters programmed into overdrive. If it’s possible to crossfade the quirky adventurism of the Soft Machine with the synthesized stillness of Talk Talk, this might be where you’d arrive. “The Ground We Walk On” is a static ballad that could be a singer-songwriter hijacked by a computer programming team, as the song’s plaintive melody is augmented by the sound of space travel. The eerie sturm und drang of “Bad Is As Bad Does” makes a strong case that they’re chipping away at the clichés with an expert hand.

If you want something truly different from the norm this and "These Were" are albums to check out.

With half its members residing in Texas (Brandon Carr and J.M. Lapham) and the other half (Christian Madden and Giles Hatton) in northern England, the Earlies bridge the geographical gap with the wonders of technology and the group's shared love of prog, psychedelic, country, and electronica. The band's "musical pen pals" approach started in the late '90s, when Lapham met Madden at a sound recording class in Manchester, and also met Carr at a record store in Texas. Acting as the link between the...
