deafening Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Listening to *shels now. I don't know why I've always put this band on the back burner. drds89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Which *shels album, may I ask? I quite like their second album, though there's nothing wrong with the first, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Plains of the Purple Buffalo. I haven't heard anything else by them. I've listened to Plains a couple of times throughout the past couple of years, but I don't know why I didn't keep listening. I'm thoroughly enjoying it right now.

Derek™ Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Aye, that's the one. Good stuff. I can see where you're coming from, though; it's sort of a situational listen for me. I appreciate the album for what it is, but it just scratches all the right itches when the time is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Seeing these guys in an hour and a half, at a super small cafe. Tickets are $5 and I've heard great things about their live show. Especially from friends who've caught them when they toured with Gifts From Enola, for a while there. Also, I don't think I saw mention of these guys in this thread... but Not To Reason Why are entirely worth your time. Looks like their album finally sold out, but I'm sure it'd still be easy to track down for cheap. Amazing stuff. The Book of Hours is a phenomenal listen.

Have a great show, wear flannel and let us know how it goes! Thx for the rec,too. I get to see ITTCT for free on Saturday And then Russian Circles on Monday! Jelly on you as well, never seen ITTCT, and they're one of my completist bands! RC killed us this past Monday! and the place was packed well for a Monday, probably 3 times as many people as last time there. And you get to see Cloudkicker and Intronaut, too ! jjjjelly!

mrewest Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Haha...well living 20 min from ITTCT's hometown of Akron, Ohio is very convenient for me. And Cloudkicker is Columbus so that's less than 2 hours from me. OHIO RULES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abovetheearth Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 < 1 month until their new album drops, too. Have you heard the new singles? Yeah. They're included on my links too. I just found out about Tycho tonight, after that other thread Derek posted them in. Wow. Lowercase Noises did a cover. I'm in love. Thanks deaf, I can't believe I'm so late.

radiatorhums Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Tycho and Boards of Canada are my favorite things to start my day with. I'm a little clunky when I wake up and listening to either of them helps make my transition to a functional adult a little smoother. I mentioned Four Tet in the other thread similar to this, but I'll mention him again. I think his early stuff is excellent, reminds me a lot of what Tycho. soundofsilver and drds89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I figure this place is as good as any to post this : My daughter will love this! She does Rachel's, Balmorhea, and some Godspeed piano interps (can't get her to let me film her but for a few seconds though), but Cloudkicker interludes, I don't think she'd ever even though of doing that. This is really nice. Confession: *shels was new to me - hey we all have gaps, cut me some slack - enjoying the EPs and LPs with gusto. Can't remember if I mentioned here before, probably not because not a *5.0* (so disclaimer is made), and they are all over the post-spectrum from heavy to ultralight: http://sleeplady.bandcamp.com/ you never know where they are going to be from one minute to the next. As memory serves, the earliest release was a bit heavier, and the latest getting ready to come out has lighter leanings, but they are still new to me - and I've been absorbing a lot recently.

mrewest Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 ITTCT destroyed last night. Played a couple oldies which was cool, too. They are a band I could watch play the exact same setlist every time & it would never get old. Also, one of the guitarists has a brother who plays in this two piece "spaz-core" (as they call it) instrumental band called The Decoy. They usually open for ITTCT, and they are ridiculous. It's very destructive sounding, & not really something you can truly appreciate unless you see them face-punch you in a live setting, but they have a free 4-song EP on Bandcamp. thedecoy1.bandcamp.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's financially prohibitive or other's have made plans for you that can't be changed, seeing RC live is one of the best birthday presents to give yourself!
