Earth's music is nearly all instrumental, and can be divided into two distinct stages. Their early work is characterized by heavy distorted droning, minimalist, lengthy, and repetitive structures; it is recognized as pioneering the genre of drone doom — an experimental offshoot of doom metal . Following a break due to Carlson's personal problems, Earth reappeared around 2005 with a markedly different sound. Their music was still drone based, slow-paced and lengthy, but now with a drummer and featuring strong elements of country music, jazz, and English folk rock, including Fairport Convention.
