Son
of Earth began life in early 2000 as Son of Earth-Flesh
on Bone Trio. Aaron Rosenblum, Matt Krefting, and
John Shaw, inspired by many spirited late-night
experimenting sessions, began to play out using
wild arrays of sound-making devices. As the years
have gone on, the group has chisled away at the
number of instruments used and brought their once
maximalist and varied sound creation down to a whisper,
a murmer, a sound that hints at and flirts with
texture and atmosphere; a music made from almost
nothing. Seven full years into their life-span,
Son of Earth offer their first full-length LP, Pet.
The record represents a culmination of sorts of
a certain arc in the Son of Earth sound, one where
simple electronics and oddly-played instruments
are combined to create a music that walks a tight-rope
between easily definable atmospheres and emotions.
The results are so delicate that at times the music
seems to cease to exist at all.
