Gospel of Mars’ self-titled debut album, Gospel of Mars (AMI049) was released on December 1, 2017. Gospel of Mars consists of Jef Brown, Bob Jones and Aaron Moore, musicians with long individual histories spread across two continents. Regularly playing TROOST in North Brooklyn the band have self-released two live albums digitally but their self-titled debut LP on Amish Records is a culmination of a two year-period of recording. Hundreds of recorded hours allowed ideas to develop organically and the album has a loose ecstatic improvisational feel, leaning in part on jazz, rock and long-form minimalism. From the looping rhythms of “Scarabs” to the plaintive middle-eastern influenced guitar lines of “Octopus” to the bombast of the album’s closing song “Tesla,” Gospel of Mars are a new voice to be reckoned with.

Beyond Gospel of Mars, these musicians have played in Eaters, Volcano the Bear, Evolutionary Jass Band, Micro East Collective and Jackie O’Motherfucker, among others projects.

Bright gray sheets of roaring and shimmering guitar held aloft by a delicate web of percussion. Post-rock, shoegaze, psych- rock and hints of bluesy folk, all audible and enmeshed. IlsaJ

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB. jack_thorn16
