These days the underground is awash with bands who hark back to the plethora of obscure, druggy psychedelic bands of the 70s. These bands are often united by a tendency to pass a combination of motorik beats and echo-and-fuzz drenched guitar off as works of daring ambition. It all functions well as head music, but can anyone really get excited by it? This tendency is at best lazy, at its worst strangely reactionary in its unimaginative aping of the radical sounds of the past. 
Although Earthling Society occupy this scene in a superficial, stylistic sense, they definitely bring something new to the table. A good indication of this might be the cover art, which is spectacularly lacking in taste and might lead you to expect some kind of psychogeographical folk-metal rather than the brain-bludgeoning space rock encased within, and a welcome change from the washed-out visuals employed by most contemporary psych acts.
Essentially the music is heavy space rock played with a Commune sensibility; by which I mean the no-holds-barred, egalitarian approach engendered by bands such as Amon Duul II and Ash Ra Temple in Krautrock's golden age and carried into the 21st century by the likes of Hills and Goat. Despite this, there's a fearlessness here; an audacity that allows Earthling Society to stretch beyond the limitations usually imposed by rooting a bands style in a vintage aesthetic. Their sound may have a base in the churning repetitions and endless, everyone-soloing at-once improvisations of seventies freak-rock collectives but they also move into jazz, ambient, noise and stark neofolk in ways that are both convincing and delightfully unexpected... - Danny Riley, The Quietus
