Agriculture - The Spiritual Sound

'The Spiritual Sound' traces a narrative arc through extremes: searing, sky-cracking catharsis on side A; a slow-burning, devotional undercurrent on side B. The album is largely a fusing of the visions of its two principal songwriters, Dan Meyer and Leah Levinson: distinct voices, deeply complementary.

What began as a loose collaboration between Kern Haug and Dan Meyer in the Los Angeles noise scene evolved into a shared pursuit of the sublime through heavy music. With the additions of Richard Chowenhill and Leah Levinson, the project solidified into the band’s current form. The ecstatic black metal foundation was laid on 2022’s 'The Circle Chant', expanded into something more precise and far-reaching on their 2023 self-titled full-length, and deepened further with 2024’s 'Living Is Easy': a record that embraced devotional intensity and radiant heaviness in equal measure.
