Background

Death to the Planet is the third release by the London-based group. It follows their initial EP, Prophecy (2015), and their Mercury Prize nominated debut album Channel the Spirits (2016). [3] It was released on limited edition orange vinyl for Record Store Day, with a subsequent release on black vinyl. [4] The EP was described by Record Store Day as "the sound of total planetary destruction, produced with laser-guided accuracy and aimed directly at the dancefloor" [5] and by The Leaf Label as "[documenting] a collaborative approach to composition through spontaneous improvisation". [6] The record was re-released as a limited edition of 500 by Rough Trade Records in July 2018.
