Mega confused by your first comment. The Fire in Our Throats... is about three times as atmospheric as this new Tacoma album ("Last Day of Winter" and "Aurora Borealis"?) I mean, I'll agree that it's not a perfect comparison, but the riffing on "The World Inside" and "Apocryphal" sounds straight off of Australasia, albeit not as layered or complex.

New Tacoma Narrows is very solid. Reminds me a lot of the early Pelican LPs.

New YONL might be my new favorite of theirs. It's that good. That bass tone is deadly. I wasn't as blown away by the new Amenra but I'll give it a few more listens. I thought the closer was awesome but everything else felt a bit monotonous.

There were several pre-release reviews of this that were absolutely glowing, and I'm left wondering if they just listened to a totally different album. Gonna try to give it a few more listens but it feels, I don't know... unfinished?

Album is out today. I think it's good, but it's gonna take several spins to digest. I wasn't blown away by my first two listens -- mostly I was caught off guard by the fact that the only two tracks with vocals were the singles!

Awesome band, this should be great. However, there's no chance I'm going in for a $71 2xLP lol. Hopefully a US distro picks up some copies down the line.

BIG news: new L'Effondras album this summer! Their last album was one of my favorites from that year.

Gumbo got to it already, but I finally checked out the new YONL track yesterday and it bangs. Can't wait for the new album. Also, new Bossk and Amenra upcoming? Crazy good year for post-metal, with those three.

Totally agree. Hoping this is another great addition to an already flawless discography.

Somehow missed this news yesterday. So ready for this.

Well, you got me there. Part of my excitement was that, with few exceptions, the LYSF style has been only imitated, never replicated. And here the intention fairly clearly was to try and replicate it. I like the Silhouettes album a lot but by no means do I think it's actually in the same league as Godspeed.

Posting to make sure everyone heard the new Godspeed album that got released a few weeks ago: https://goldenhymns.bandcamp.com/album/the-great-dystopian-songbook-i-songs-for-the-setting-rising-sun And, more urgently, please listen to this immediately for probably the closest thing to Lift Your Skinny Fists I've heard: https://theirsilhouetteslooming.bandcamp.com/album/death-is-rich-when-life-is-poor

That would be a hell of a meet-up, just wish it weren't in a court room!

Seconded. Good to see you're still around, Don!

Bumping for anyone that hasn't listened to this yet. Fix that. This might be my AOTY.
