There was enough to revisit for sure. Just didn’t immediately grab me like those others. It kept reminding me of someone else. Maybe GIAA a bit?

Listened to Barrens earlier & it was solid, not great imo. All 3 of these releases are far better to my ears.

This is $15 shipped on their Bandcamp rn if anyone is interested.

Someone find & bump that “ring” vinyl thread because that was incredible.

Checked this out earlier & dug it. Solid instrumental prog-metal. I really liked “Mini Boss”.

Both bands aren’t even really post-rock. They kind of fit into several categories. Holy Fawn is more post- than Spotlights but I’d say they fit better into shoegaze. Much more ethereal. Spotlights is just ungodly heavy Deftones-esque meaty riffs.

Damn I assumed you were hip to all the new hotness 😉

Don’t get me wrong that Holy Fawn EP is fantastic in itself. I was just saying that’s how much I like Spotlights to say it’s better than that.

I love it. Gets better with each listen imo.

Spotlights EP > Holy Fawn EP

Looks like we’re in agreement! I need to start digging into their other albums now.

Haha yeah that’s what I was thinking too.

Ugh that cotton candy variant is beautiful. And first pass through Cotton Candy Clouds was probably my fav. But I should be responsible & not buy vinyl rn!

Dang I absolutely love this new Ringo Deathstarr.

Sweet thanks!

I’m really into this new Whale Fall album. A needed break from crescendo/Dunk-core. Almost has a Do Make Say Think meets Spurv vibe.

I can’t actually find it streaming anywhere.

This band has always been weird about funding stuff. Haven’t cared for anything since This Is What Happens unfortunately. I’ll shell out $40 if that gets pressed. Album is incredible.

I should probably do a better job of listening to people. Because I totally slept on Barrows. But holy shit. This band is ruthless.

I’m also looking for The Teskey Brothers live album which is UK only.

Nevermind I actually messaged the band. It’s because of that huge pressing plant fire. Turns out the UK vinyl won’t be released either. Coming in May apparently.

UK only 🤮. ISO if anyone can hook it up!

How tf is Tennis System UK only? That’s dumb as hell. Well, ISO for sure.

Love this band but not too crazy about the singles so far. Gonna hold off on ordering the album til I can hear it all.
