about

"…the music is a surreal experience. Sirens wail in the distance, drawing nearer, screaming. Thunder rolls. A solitary bass line leads the way, accompanied by simple piano keys, and they get their druggy hooks in. Xylophone-like tones ring in mysterious and inviting accents. GOLLEHON’s piercing trumpet moans, wails, and writhes. It sounds languid and lascivious, carnal, and post-coital, but also menacing and unsettling. The effect is thrilling—and haunting." - No Clean Singing

"The title track, along with its music video, [...] takes its inspiration from mob films (in a grainy, B-movie type of way), and it stars and features direction by someone who knows a thing or two about mob films: Vincent Pastore, aka Big Pussy from The Sopranos." - BrooklynVegan

“…pairs a chaotic noise element with noir jazz, reminiscent at times of John Zorn’s Naked City project, or Bohren And Der Club Of Gore with even more cacophony. GOLLEHON previously shared ‘The End Is The Beginning’ and ‘Bronx Motor Inn,’ each of which showcases different aspects of the project, drawing on the likes of noise rock and Angelo Badalamenti-style cinematic jazz alike.” - Treble

"The feel is ominous. Violence isn’t at the forefront but stalks around behind the scenes. The threat is palpable." - Burning Ambulance

"It’s time to stop what you’re doing and immerse yourself with the legendary New York based trumpeter MAC GOLLEHON as today, we’re elated to bring you his latest video for ‘Dead Protégé.’ The track is a near five-minute potent mix of experimental free jazz and blues…" - The Sleeping Shaman

"If you’ve got a choice between brass horror or woodwind horror, go with the former. Such is the lesson of ‘Enigma,’ the disquieting new video from world-renowned trumpeter MAC GOLLEHON, who has performed with everyone from David Bowie, Buddy Rich and Billy Ocean to Onyx, Blondie and Madonna. The song and video manage to bring the sonic wildness of his recent avant-jazz/film noir solo record The End Is the Beginning to vivid, visceral life." - Rue Morgue

All I can really say is THANK YOU Dylan & co. for bringing new,amazing,dense,deep and interesting music into my life.I first heard about Earth through listening to Mark Lanegan 's book "Sing Backwards and Weep",the mention from Mark and also learning of he and Dylan's closely honed friendship and brotherhood of many years peaked my interest and I knew eventually I'd be embarking on this journey of interdimensional sound."Primitive and Deadly" is a masterpiece!!!!! monobri73
