REVIEW

Debut EP from EARTHLING, a post-rock/shoegaze band based in Machida.

Their sound blends ethereal, visual-kei–tinged vocals with intense noise guitar, creating an effect like a poisonous flower exuding a sweet fragrance—once experienced, it’s bound to overwhelm the senses. Crank the volume and immerse yourself fully.

Standout tracks include “Bidoro”, where dark, impassioned vocals crash together with ferocious noise, and “Babel”, which juxtaposes delicate, floating melodies with post-metal–level heavy riffs to create a vast, expansive atmosphere. Fans of Plastic Tree, 101A, or Kara should definitely check them out.

Note: On April 27, 2025, a remastered edition was released including the new bonus track “Astron”. With the original version removed from streaming, all links have been updated accordingly.
