Even on this record, there are moments when it’s more
psyched-out, but we’ve always been really big fans of classic
rock stuff like ZZ TOP, JAMES GANG, ALLMAN BROTHERS
- and of course, CREAM. There would be no EARTHLESS
if it wasn’t for CREAM. They’re like the great-grandfathers
of power trios. So some of those simpler influences have
leaked through on this record. To me, [album opener] ‘Gifted
By The Wind’ has a more JAMES GANG or ZZ TOP vibe
than FLOWER TRAVELLIN’ BAND or any of the krautrock
stuff. With all the vocals and harmonies, that’s definitely a
different direction for us.”[info sheet from distr.]
