Thanks for the recommendation! Kept meaning to check these guys, really enjoy the crunchy guitars. I have gone from like 1 to now 10 pending vinyl/tape orders pending in the last 2 months.

Really good live if they ever come your way

lotta people not liking it on the Facebook boards, actually.  I think it's fine/good....  Invincible Summer and the Weight of Light are my favorites.  Wish it had more guitars, the violin-in-every-song thing just isn't what I'm looking for from them.  I still like it though!

 

I was a sobbing mess when they finally did the Trilogy in Boston.  Incredible.  Same with Sycamore. 

I believe The End of the Ocean did it to me too at Dunk! USA. 

While not post-rock, we went and saw Dying Fetus a couple weeks ago with Terror supporting, and their style of no-nonsense hardcore brought me right back to being 15/16 at VFW halls and it was a completely unexpected overwhelming flood of nostalgia. 

I’ve heard a few people complain about the strings.  I don’t get it at all.  It works so well here imo.  The mix of epic heavy guitars/electronics is balanced out perfectly with the strings.  I dunno this is just one of those albums that clicked immediately for me & keeps getting better the more I listen.

This album has blown me away early on.  I love the return to form, but amped up.  

That new Maybeshewill kicks all kinds of ass.  Exceeded all expectations.

Eat More was the best song I had heard thus far.  Can’t wait to hear the rest

I thought the same and then Chihiro dunked all over it 

EPs have been far superior to LPs this year

 

Psychonaut/Saver split

Gates

A Place to Bury Strangers

Pet Fox

Social Contract

Heaven’s Cloak

Pictures of Wildlife

Trauma Ray

 

all fantastic 

Got my tape in today.  Shocker:  it rules.

 

Cheer Up, Chihiro! is top tier

How good is that new Blankenberge?? Sheesh.  I know there isn’t much variety in their sound but Everything feels like they’ve perfected what they do.  

 

Also, Cecilia::Eyes was previously considered mostly post-rock with some shoegaze tendencies but these new songs are 100% dreamy shoegaze deliciousness.  Especially the newest one out today, “Parentheses”.

Not sure if they belong here or over in the shoegaze thread, cecilia::eyes has a new album coming out via Dunk, first single is on bandcamp and youtube. I would call it dreamgaze, but light, ethereal postrock with buried vocals would work, too. 

cecilia::eyes Missing Pieces

So stoked for this.  Was worried about them adding vocals but it works very well here.  That first song builds & builds & finishes great.

Frank did an acoustic set for PRB a few weeks back. It was super fun. Just him, his guitar and and someone (I didn't get his name) playing a mandolin.

Matt Nasir.  He’s in the full band with Frank.  

fuuuuuuuuuuuck

 

 

Saw him open for Frank Turner recently.  Great show!

I haven’t obsessed over a song like I have with Gotterdammerung in a long while.  Might already be my 2022 aoty.

New Deserta LP - 
https://deserta.bandcamp.com/album/every-moment-everything-you-need

2 Variants- both/525

Everyone here should know this band. So good.

Really dig the new song.  Sounds like a return to form & thankfully ignores the Fair Youth sound which was a giant letdown for this band.

cursetheknife going on tour with Honeymoon.  And if Honeymoon wasn’t mentioned in here, then definitely check them out.  Never heard of them before this tour announcement and if you like Narrow Head then you will like Honeymoon.

This band rules.  Became hip to them this year.  Stoked they’re coming to town next month.

I need to visit here more often LOL.

 

A: I consider myself a Tennis System junkie & legit had no clue the album was available anywhere to listen to yet.  I messaged the TS IG account a while back & Matty just said “hiccups due to covid, physical release only (no stream seevices) & that vinyl should ship October.  Didn’t buy thru BC so I never got access to listen.  Can’t believe I could have been listening the past month & a half haha.  May as well just wait for the vinyl at this point.

 

B:  That Warm EP is near the top for most disappointing release this year.  They completely stripped away the big, dark, slow, sinister sound I loved & made it almost sound like poppy shoegaze.  I also miss the dual vocals.  I wish they just rebranded under a different band name.  I had been dying for a full album that sounded like their last solo EP & the 2 split songs.  This is a total left turn from that sadly.

 

C :  I love love love that cursetheknife album.  It’s so damn good.  “In Dreams” is an amazing song.

 

D : Stoked on that Mondaze album.  Really liked their 3-song EP.

 

This may be my number 2 behind Artist frfr.  It’s the most I’ve enjoyed an album as a whole from them since then.

 

I agree a bit with Derek that some of the choruses sound a bit flaccid, but the peaks of the album carry so much weight that I can get past it.

I love this band so goddamn much.  So stoked for this.

I can see what you mean with the Ranges stuff.  I like it because I like the sound.  HOWEVER, you guys really ought to visit the new album, Cardinal Winds.  I think it's their best, by far.  The production and the songwriting, it just works.  I really, really like it. 

The TNBD album is a grower too; I never have visceral reactions like you guys where I think "omg this sucks" haha.  I don't know.  I understand the effort put into albums, so I feel like having an emotion like that is... not fair.  But that's me.  I could never throw shade like that knowing what it takes to put something out. 

 

 

Gathering Half the Deep by PSOTY?  And what's with the PG.Lost reference?  I'm a bit lost here haha. 

Gumbo, Cardinal Winds sounds like Babel, sounds like The Ascentionist…they just rewrite the same songs over & over & never add anything new.  Generic melodies, drums, builds/peaks, etc.  I give everyone of their releases a fair shot.  They are an aesthetically pleasing band & nothing more lol.  Sorry for being so harsh!

Evan, I would have been totally shocked if you liked the new Tacoma album, that's why I never recommended to you over on IG where we usually share shoegazey stuff.

Tool, Meniscus, Maserati, Isis are not bands I remember you liking or talking up .... and the SMW here and there I think Gumbo and I are hearing would not be enough to pull this record into your orbit.

Re: Ranges, I have tried tried tried too, and love what they are doing at A1KA, but it's all generic to me.

 

What I really want to do still... is take some tracks like Gathering or Desperdecio Pt 1. and be able to block the artist,  have you listen to those riffs, and tell me you don't like them!! haha  

Hahaha yeah easy pass on the pg.lost but sign me up for PSOTY & Meniscus!  I’ve always liked Tool, & have dabbled in Isis & liked what I’ve heard but I just don’t have a good reason for not revisiting them more often.

 

And I actually loved Tacoma’s last album.  It definitely fit right in with those bands.  I feel like the newest stripped away everything I loved about that album.  No atmosphere.  Nothing to wrap you up in the album.  It just came & went and felt uninspired.

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.

 

Yeah I’m surprised at the love Tacoma is getting.  I’ll have to at least give it one more chance.

 

The Driving Slow Motion coulda been my post-rock aoty if not so painfully short.  One of the guys in the band told me it was supposed to be a longer double EP but lame ass Post Recordings made them trim it down into 1 LP.  No way in hell a big epic heavy ambient album like that can only be 30 min.  The last 2 songs end before they even begin imo.  But “Leaves” & “The Fall” are incredible.
