Following last year’s Early Surf, Axis: Sova return to this politically fucked-up world with another scorching new album in Motor Earth. True to form, the album is stocked with filthy riffs and clamorous leads, pummeling haphazardly through nine tracks so chunky they get stuck in your teeth. On this one, founding member Brett Sova invites guitarist Tim Kaiser and others to craft a more band-oriented sound, with Bitchin Bajas’s Cooper Crain on the boards.
Motor Earth is out Friday, October 14, on Drag City imprint God? Records (headed by Ty Segall). Stream the entire gritty thing below, and pre-order the album here. Be sure to also check out the dates below for Axis: Sova’s North American tour, which starts in November.
