Do you understand German? If so, you’ll dig hearing the Whitefield Brothers’ expound on their musical lineage in this piece on Germany’s Bunch TV. If you’re like us, and you can barely muster an “Eine milchkaffee bitte” when you’re sitting at a sidewalk cafe in Munich after finding a priced-out-of-this-world original Schiesshaus press of Can’s Monster Movie, well, you’ll at least enjoy hearing the band rock “Sol Walk.”
It’s been a long time coming – and we know you’ve been frustrated with the delays – but you can now buy the Whitefield Brothers’ monstrous follow up to their cult classic In The Raw on Stones Throw’s webstore in both CD and LP form! The CD comes packaged in a “mini LP” cardboard gatefold sleeve and comes with a fold out poster. The double LP comes packaged in a thick, cardboard “tip on” gatefold sleeve.
Earthology – an excercise in global-psychedelic-jazz that spans continents in the Brothers’ search for new sounds to be united by their trademark fierce funk – features Edan, Mr. Lif, Bajka, Percee P, MED, Quantic and members of Poets of Rhythm, Dap Kings, El Michels Affair and Antibalas.

(and don’t forget about “The Gift” – along with Oh No’s remix – available here – and in stores now as well…)
“We do this for fun/to imitate Whites/to let our children know/what others are like.” The Whitefield Brothers’ Earthology album is out in some places now, but, for the most part, we’re still figuring out where the hell the CDs and LPs are! We’ll update soon, and, in the meantime, you can groove on this.
And just when we say we don’t often post album reviews here…. two in a row. Well, it’s not like the New York Times is reviewing our music, so a glowing review from one of the biggest dailies in the UK is something to talk about, isn’t it?

Earthology will be for sale in all formats on Stones Throw’s webstore on 1.19. Available everywhere 2.2.
