Minneapolis shape-shifters, IE, touch down on Quindi with Reverse Earth, a humid transmission of dubbed-out kosmische glow, dream logic, and slow-motion groove.
A five-piece fluent in the language of endlessness, they stretch songs until they shimmer, flutter, and fold into themselves like heatwaves on asphalt.
IE’s sound lives in the in-between: stoner-slowcore tension laced with lounge-lava keys and soft-focus psychedelia. The live energy—loose but locked—is palpable, each track a slow exhale built from the ground up: Meredith Gill’s drums tumble like dice, bass hums like a grounding wire, and guitars flicker in and out. Mariel Oliviera’s vocals morph from siren to storyteller, guiding us through a space where time unbuttons and slinks into the ether.
By the end of the new record, “Dark Rome” stomps in with a noir dirge that feels like Twin Peaks’ Roadhouse took a left turn into the underworld. Reverse Earth seduces and drifts off into a foreign orbit.
