Two years after blasting everyone’s minds to outer space with their Sub

Two years after blasting everyone’s minds to outer space with their Sub Pop debut AwE NaturalE, Seattle’s Stas Irons and Cat Harris-White are announcing the galactic return of THEESatisfaction with a new album, EarthEE, set for release on February 24. Check the debut single, a dreamy, circular, mbira-driven incantation called “Recognition,” above, featuring Black Constellation co-conspirators Shabazz Palaces and Erik Blood. The album will also feature guest spots from Porter Ray, Taylor Brown and Meshell Ndegeocello.

The title of the record may be a sly nod to “Earthseed,”a fictional religion based around the tenet that “God is Change,” created by frequent Black Constellation muse and Seattle sci-fi author Octavia Butler in her novels Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents.
