Ahahahah

Also, this is an early album of the year contender for me. It's so good and so addictive. 

Enjoying this:

Really hope the UK shop gets some copies. Shipping from the US sucks.

Got a shipping notification from mine yesterday (Kings Road EU). Should be here by Friday!

I’m barely ever here anymore so I’ve missed some discussion but dang am I the only one that absolutely HATED that Tacoma album?  One listen through & it sounded more generic than a Ranges album.  I was unbelievably disappointed in that.  Have had no desire to revisit.

You're not the only one. I also found it very forgettable unfortunately.

Agree with Ranges as well. Very generic and nothing really memorable on there.  I loved their first couple of albums but haven't been able to get into the last few.

Also a bit disappointed with the new Blak album.

Fortunately the new Driving Slow Motion and the new Shy Low (which I've had a chance to listen to) are very good and saving the year in terms of Post Rock releases along with Bruit, Mogwai and Baulta.

Also missed it. Would anyone be able to help out with a DM?

Edit: Sorted!

This is also new & really good.

Secret Gardens

Pictures of Wild Life is quite interesting indeed.

Not a ton of new stuff has been grabbing my interest in the post world this year (not counting the classics Godspeed, Mogwai and God is an Astronaut).

Just been listening mostly to the new Bruit. 

New Baulta is growing on me and just found this other band that is sounding quite interesting and giving them a shot (especially the track Wading In):

Got mine today! It was a good surprise. Will try to give a spin tonight.

Bump

Not picky on the variant. If you have one and want to sell, send me a PM

I have a feeling this is going to be their best release yet.

I still don’t have my shipping notification for the gold (shipping from UK), should I contact TJ or is anybody else still waiting as well?

Still waiting for the same. No notification yet.

Is that a reliable source? 

The band and Evil Greed posted on their Instagram stories.

Evil Greed will the EU/UK version up on Friday it seems.

A /200 and /300 indie version

It's not up anywhere yet though or is it? If so where?

Hopefully Evil Greed will have this up for those in the EU/UK. Don't see it up yet.

Super hot take: Sleepmakeswaves haven't released a consistently good album – that holds up as something worth revisiting – since 2008.

Debatable.

And So We Destroyed Everything and Love of Cartography are extremely solid albums in my opinion.

I agree with that.  It’s annoying.

 

Speaking of 3 EPs, the new Sleepmakeswaves is so bad & I’m glad I never ordered that.  They should never use vocals again.  Ever.  Please.

Agreed. Sleepmakeswaves and Of the Vine are the 2 biggest disappointments of the year so far.

30 pounds for the record plus 20 to ship to Ireland from the UK. Insane.

Caspian - On Circles

O'Brother - You and I

Whale Fall - It Will Become Itself

Barrens - Penumbra

Hum - Inlet

Khruangbin - Mordechai

A.A. Williams - Forever Blue

Coldbones - The Cataclysm

Elder - Omens

Run the Jewels - IV

Getting back on topic:

This album is so good.

Which e-mail did you used  ?

The shop one and Robin's (they're both on the website). I don't have any other email addresses. I've now contacted Paul and Dennis on Facebook as per the advice of @solitaryreign

Are they located in Germany? Last I knew they weren't accepting mail to the US (if that's where you reside). All international mail is super slow or suspended. I've been waiting 5 weeks for a package from Japan.

Not sure how German post works these days, but from Poland I can only send economy (surface) to US, which takes ages (and I mean, ages!) to be delivered.

I personally even gave up sending  to US until airmail is back to save myself and receiver some nerves..

I'm in Ireland and I've gotten at least 2 deliveries from Germany since. That's why I think it's strange. I have another delivery stuck in Russia now for almost 2 months. Things are messy over there.

Yes, they're located in Berlin.

For those who don't reach them via E-Mail I'd suggest their social media accounts, or directly Paul or Dennis. They usually respond pretty fast.

I've tried email (to the shop and to Robin), Instagram and Facebook. No reply, not even read. I'll try Paul or Dennis directly.

Is anyone else having issues with delays with Pelagic? 

I ordered a record mid last month (not a pre-order) and still haven't received it. I usually get this within a week from them. I know there might be delays due to the current situation but it's been a month. I've tried emailing them and contacting them on social media and no answer. Weird.
