The Earth is a Man

Hey man fans,

Just wanted to keep you posted on a few things.

We have started a promotional campaign with http://bantermm.com/ and it has been going very well thus far.

Here are some of the things people have been saying about us:

“There are times when a guitar solo can say something more than words, so when an entire song feels like a series of intricate and amazing guitar solos that create an overall positive sound, there’s a good chance it’s worth hearing.” - 1000x/minute

“They create an extremely melodic and rhythmic mix with mathy guitar lines, prog-rock’s expansive experimentalism and a classic video game soundtrack’s winding interplay for an inventive album so engaging you won’t even notice that there are no vocals!” -  Atlas and the Anchor

“Intensely layered and rewarding in a new way after every listen, these guys have a great ear for a complex but inviting melody and play off each other in a way that does justice to every instrument. Lead and backup guitars interweave and wind up and down in broad emotive strokes, with the bass and drums forming a strong anchor that hums along, endlessly urging the songs forward.” - Listen Before You Buy

“The Earth Is A Man have released a very fine album of inventive post-rock packed full of melodic hooks and dynamic structure.” - Proper Songs

Thank you all for supporting us! We love our man-fans.

Grouper — A I A

Liturgy — Aesthethica

Peaking Lights — 936

Ponytail — Do Whatever You Want All The Time

The Psychic Paramount — II

Dearest ManFans,

We got some news for you: we’re playing a concert - our first proper gig of the year - at Reggie’s Rock Club on April 17th. Get more info at the facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=117520438324657

If you pre-order a ticket, you get a discount!

Also, check out these amazing guitarists. Yes, they may have been trained in shady ways, probably involving sleep hypnosis or something, but wow wow we-wowww - this is a shred-fest of unbridled childish glory. We should liberate them from their north-of-the-DMZ shackles and re-shape their minds in the kindlier molds of math of prog rock - then start a supergroup, preferably with Ian Williams on eighth guitar:
