Floating Being is the 2019 debut album by psych rock two-piece Earth Tongue — the brainchild of guitarist Gussie Larkin (Mermaidens) and drummer Ezra Simons (Soft Bait).

Sometimes music is supposed to feel weird and indescribable. It’s the moments of clarity within the dense, sonic mess that often feels the most satisfying. That’s the space that Earth Tongue occupy. At times, their songs are shrill and disorientating, other times their reverb textures and instantly familiar hooks can wrap you in a warm, loving embrace.

The ascent of Earth Tongue is testament to their dedication and hard work. They've toured relentlessly across Europe and scored support slots for acts like IDLES and Ty Segall.

9/10

‘It’s a loud, heavy album but with tuneful as well as full-on screaming vocals. The fuzzed-up guitar sounds and complex yet primitive drumming reminds me of L7 and their brand of Ramones meets Black Sabbath genius but the female vocals have the feel of Stereolab.’ – Louder Than War
