Apocalyptic UK grime producer the Bug (aka Kevin Martin) and Olympia ambient metal pioneers Earth (the brainchild of Dylan Carlson) teamed up on an EP called Boa / Cold in 2014, and now they’re releasing a full-length album together.

Concrete Desert is out 3/24 on Ninja Tune. It will be packaged with an additional 12″ featuring collaborations with Jesu/Godflesh mastermind Justin Broadrick, appearing here as JK Flesh.
