Earthsuit was a short-lived New Orleans-based Contemporary Christian Music band in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Earthsuit consisted of guitarist Dave Rumsey, keyboardist/vocalist Paul Meany, bassist Roy Mitchell, drummer David “Hutch” Hutchison, and vocalist Adam LaClave. Additional musicians included Adam “Admo” Wirdzek and Darren King, who both filled in on drums after Hutch left the group.
Earthsuit only had one commercial release: Kaleidoscope Superior (2000). The album’s 10 tracks managed to briefly gain some recognition. Only three other CDs are known. Two demo EPs contained early versions of some of Kaleidoscope Superior’s songs, some unreleased songs, and a live medley including a cover of “Killing Me Softly”. The other CD is The Rise of Modern Simulation which was released some time in 2003 after the band had already broken up. It was available for a short time to be purchased directly from the band’s website. This collection features five original studio songs, as well as 11 bonus tracks including a live remix of The Kaleidoscope Superior track Against the Grain and practice sessions of some of their concert material (such as the Said the Sun To the Shine Kraftwerk medley, an outro medley, and a cover of the Talking Heads’ “Once in a Lifetime”). It also features several concert videos and Live Recordings from a Concert (at the http://murgopenair.ch) in Frauenfeld.
Earthsuit seemed to have genuinely appreciated music, and created music with an original compositional and arrangement style. They drew from Rapcore (they often used a melodic chorus/rap verse pattern), funk, New Orleans Jazz, and sampling. Reggae is an obvious influence from a percussive rhythmical approach, as well from the vocal style. This unique blend was virtually nonexistent elsewhere.
Members Paul Meany and Roy Mitchell are now in the band Mute Math, which is experiencing growing success in the mainstream music scene in the US.
Adam LaClave had a side project Macrosick while Earthsuit was still around. Now Adam LaClave is doing a side project of Macrosick’s, called the Club of the Sons.
