For all of that - the album sounds like a field recording from another world: dark tones reverberate, metals echo and clatter and electricity crackles, blooms of feedback emerge held in suspension - half floating, half driving through a dense nocturnal atmosphere. Though there is hardly a musical gesture to be found on the album - over its nine pieces and nearly 80 minute duration it courses with an undeniably organic, human energy; it develops and sustains with a sort of terrifying beauty that evokes elation and dread, a tension and ease that transports the listener to another sort of dimension that few, if any, artists have ever been able to reach.

Thin Wrist is ecstatic to present Surface of the Earth for the first time ever in its complete form, newly restored and remastered from the original tapes and presented in a deluxe tip-on gatefold 2LP edition with black pigment ink foil stamping on pure black tactile reef paper.
