Agriculture - The Spiritual Sound

The Spiritual Sound is a bold statement from Los Angeles collective Agriculture, rejecting the flattened, background-noise approach to modern music consumption. This album is not passive listening or playlist fodder—it’s a demand for presence, an unflinching confrontation with both beauty and suffering.

Across its two sides, the record moves through extremes: searing, sky-cracking catharsis on one side and slow-burning devotional reflection on the other. The album brings together the intertwined visions of songwriters Dan Meyer and Leah Levinson, whose distinct voices—one clawing toward the divine through ecstatic noise, the other grounding transcendence in queer history and survival—form a unified spiritual grammar.

Rooted in the Los Angeles noise and metal scene, Agriculture has evolved from chaos into clarity, refining their sound across previous releases like The Circle Chant, their 2023 self-titled LP, and Living Is Easy. On The Spiritual Sound, they push their radiant heaviness and emotional intensity further than ever.

This is not salvation—it’s immersion. A record that asks listeners to stay present in the fire, to find meaning in the unbearable, and to confront the divine in the noise itself.
