Dylan Carlson is an American guitarist and singer, founder and central figure of the band Earth, known for pioneering drone/doom-inflected guitar music and for solo releases including Conquistador.

Founder of Earth (formed 1989). Earth are associated with the Olympia/Seattle scene. Conquistador (2018) is a solo instrumental album released on Sargent House. The band Earth officially reunited in 2003.

A mixed but knowledgeable take on Dylan Carlson's solo work and legacy. Carlson is presented as a key figure linking doom, drone and post-rock. The Conquistador record is described as abrasive, instrumental, and uncompromising.

For:Fans of drone/doom, experimental guitar, post-rock and instrumental heavy music

 The Earth from Olympia, Washington were undoubtedly among the less typical bands of the ultimate "indie" label, Sub Pop Records, yet also one of the leading groups of that experience in the first half of the nineties, considered a true cult object both then and now.
