    Hard to believe I posted this nearly ten years ago. Looks like Audrey Fall has gotten back together to press this on wax, at the very least. Available for pre-order here: ▶︎ Mitau | Audrey Fall (bandcamp.com).

    The new EF record is a total blast from the past. So good. Reminds me of Yndi Halda from the glory days. Anyone else hear it?

    Right on, that's not been my conception of them at all haha over the 3 times i've seen them on bills with other bands I've gone to see.  When I think Pelican, i just think "riff after riff after riff" with no reverby atmosphere or post-rock elements.  Just riffs. 

    I will revisit though!

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

    Yeah I agree I was surprised that it was just those 2 with them. I love the two songs with vocals and think the rest of the album is disjointed with no real identity. The last 3 tracks of the album are really difficult to get through because there is very little there. Putting it in perspective, the album is pretty much just 3 songs and the rest is complete filler. I loved their previous album so I was really looking forward to this but this is a definite pass for me.

    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.

    Completely unrelated but last night I had a dream that some therapist and her legal team were suing a handful of VCers for causing emotional trauma to Gumbo.  She had a history of all the shit-posting and jabbing that myself and several others have given him over the last few years.  We were expected to take the stand and defend said posts.  It was something else.

    Great list of albums. Over the years I've learned there aren't many other classic screamo/emo fans on these boards. You're better off just lurking on Discogs until a good price comes up, because the sellers market here for this music is pretty much nonexistent. Good luck!

    Yeah... I may personally opt for Tertia over WS, but otherwise that is a damn fine list.  I hate that I’m becoming the heh, they don’t make ‘em like they used to dad cliche of post-rock.  I’d always roll my eyes when my old man would scoff at newer bands and insist that nothing really competes with the classics.  I know we’re shrinking that notion down to 1 genre but I feel it so much.  Even if bands like Mogwai and Godspeed (and definitely GIAA) are not releasing albums on par with the quality they set a decade+ ago, some of those earlier albums are still timeless to me and what I consider to be the pinnacle of the genre, regardless of what those same bands are outputting today.  There’s a reason the albums have become a landmark or standard in discussions.  Every once in a while there’s a newer post-rock band or scene that does something memorable or enticing, but so, so, so much of it is Gumbocore or prime for A Thousand Arms’ distro, and it does little for me.
     
    I feel like that wave of post-rock you’re referring to... there’s not a ton out there that compares.  Slint, etc. are considered grandfathers of the genre, but as far as crescendos, quiet-loud dynamics, and other post-rock tropes that have been done to death, I think it’s a blessing to thrive in a lifetime where that all existed, was relevant for a time, and is still easily accessible.  Born too early and it’s all experimental, new-age noise.  Born too late and you’re stuck with the Dunk! Fest roster.  I’m not claiming that I was listening to Mogwai when I was 9 years old, but the genre was really exploding and pioneering new musical ground when I was a teen, at my hungriest stage of music exploration.  And for that I’ll always consider myself lucky.

    I've given up on this album way long ago. Most atrocious thing Ive heard come from Will Yip. I'd give away my copy at this point.

    Found some good, groovy post-metal. Doesn't hit you over the head with riffs, but it was interesting enough to keep me listening. Like a heavier L'Effondras.

    Black Clouds was so freaking good. Just listened to both of their albums back-to-back and I'm left wondering why it's so hard for bands these days to pick up the slack.
     
    (With all due respect to the good post-rock bands still out there -- there are plenty.)
