Alan Creedon and Alex Lichtenauer, once part of the influential Philadelphia punk band Control Top, have transitioned into the electronic-influenced duo known as Index. Their debut album, Vis Inertiae, is set to be released next month after being recorded with Sumerlands' Arthur Rizk at Show Me The Body's Corpus studio. Two tracks from the album, "Cellophane" and "Fractured," have already been shared.
The latest single, "Earth," offers a stark contrast to the band's previous work, evoking images of Earth's contemporaries like the Melvins. The track is characterized by its heavy, guttural sound, complemented by fuzzed-out guitar riffs and powerful drum beats. In a press release, Creedon and Lichtenauer explain that "Earth" marks a shift in the album's mode, built on repetition rather than impact.
They aim for the album to feel cohesive, rather than a collection of individual tracks. Fans can listen to "Earth" below. In addition to the music news, this week includes the most significant music stories and the least important music memes.
