4th single out today, AOTY contender for me just on these tracks. Man I love this band. Sorry RC and HF, love your albums,... but this is just moving beyond words.

After folks get through their 10th listen to Gnosis, look forward to hearing your thoughts, including the vinyl quality.

Mine got delivered to my old address and I think got returned to sender but I can’t get Poison City to answer me.   

Dang!😑

The Flyying Colours EP's Comp sounds really good, I'm pleased to have this as a listening copy. 

I had to make the Mandarin Orange variant on 'scogs,  so Poison City must have a tonne of these and the Vanilla flavor still in their shoppe. 

If you like Ride: "Seagull" but pushed up a notch in loudness and tempo, you will like at least half of Flyying Colours. They have some jangliness along with the tremolo and loud guitars and noise as well.

Ride  has always sounded to me as more on the pop end of the spectrum (Stadium BritPop) at least partly due to Andy's rather common guitar solos.

I never have time to listen to any of the new albums recommended by WherePostRockDwells. However, last night I was on the youtube while doing paperwork, and it rolled into the next queued up piece which was a rec by them: Distance - Everything In Exchange For Nothing (NZ).

RIYL: Meniscus, early Keretta,  with a hint of Jakob atmosphere in some tracks. 

It's only 30 minutes and not as complex as the bands above, but I enjoyed the riffage. The closing track is a curve ball,  not bad, just standard fare postrock.

Distance - EIEFN

Haven't done a PSA in a while for 'old' albums that slip out of rotation and need to be dusted off...

Get Watter's two albums out for the weekend!

Ordered without hesitation yesterday! Don't really care too much about variants anymore, so went with SH since I have an account with them and can pay with bitcoin (j/k about the bitcoin).

Recently preordered Russian Circles, so another $8 Media mail fee. Wish more of the $ going to the artists vs Hell Merch, even with the vinyl-flation going on as well.

I'm especially excited for the Rachel Davies track - if you peeps haven't listened to Esben and the Witch. . . do yourself a favour! 😍 

If money and space were no object, I would have their whole discography.  I don't think they needed Albini to do A New Nature. Mucho excite for this track with Nadja!

Thanks for posting Jonathan! 

I already got mine today from Napalm US.  For labels who don't like to deal with "Where's my record?" this is the way to do it. Order a number you know you will sell through, get them in, see what color they actually are, announce one week ahead of time. Get orders and ship out within 2 to 3 days.

I got the Gold, and it's about as "gold" as the solid gold gets - way up from the puke green of Station (or yellow and orange from other releases).

45 RPM - the production will please bass lovers, no thinness here. I'm only 1 time through with the reworked tracks - I have never seen them live, but watched many a youtube video, so the changes or 'reworkings' don't seem that drastic. Since they are top 10 or at least top 20 postrock for me, this is a pleasing addition.

I guess because the news of this was a Friday (7/15)? or maybe I should have just tagged onto the Epitaph thread, as not really worthy of its own thread?

There is a Black variant, CD, merch, etc. celebrating 20 years of "The End Of The Beginning" and how to songs have evolved through the decades of live performances.

In 2022, with 20 years and a strong collection of masterful, acclaimed albums to their name, Irish post-rock maestros GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT come full circle with their live studio output, The Beginning Of The End. Recorded at Windmill Lane Recording Studio in Dublin, Ireland on October 3, 2021, the album features modern transformations of all of the songs from their debut album, 2002’s The End Of The Beginning, encompassing each track’s evolutionary changes throughout the band’s years of live performances while allowing the original melodies and songwriting to shine through.

Stage classics such as "From Dust to the Beyond" and "Route 666" can be heard in a new light, with clear, transformative variations originally heard during the band’s captivating live performances now incorporated. Plus, in addition to these live expansions, technical advances have been applied to each track. Originally limited to just a keyboard sequencer and an Akai S3000 sampler on The End Of The Beginning, 20 years later on The Beginning Of The End, the band seizes the opportunity to breathe new life into these live versions, allowing them to bring more feeling, experience and expression to the music and songs. In addition to audible advancements in musicality, the release of The Beginning Of The End could not be more relevant than in these current dark times. War themes are strikingly evident on tracks such as the aforementioned "From Dust to the Beyond", as well as "The End of the Beginning" – named after a quote credited to Prime Minister Winston Churchill during the WWII era. Influenced by the chaos and futility of war, these themes are also reflected on the album’s cover, created by the band in collaboration with returning artist David Rooney. Featuring a war-torn concert hall and a piano, the art is a defiant message reflecting that the power of music transcends war and time.

GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT’s upcoming release, The Beginning Of The End, provides a sonic snapshot of the evolution of the Irish post-rock band over two decades. Made enthralling and memorable with live momentum, The Beginning Of The End belongs in every well-curated post-rock record collection!

The Shy, Low S/T sounds great - very happy with that preorder/purchase. 

Stoked for that last minute rally to fund this! if anyone else here pre-ordered: gracias and I know you are looking forward to this as well.

Autobuy, even with vinylflation to $27.99 LP and $8 media mail shipping.

This is a great album, especially enjoy the first two tracks, and the perfect length for a single 12"  -- 20 minutes each side, 4 tracks, ~10 minutes each.

For the life of me I can not figure out how to check out on that website...

yeah it seems rather dead doesn't it? - I just saw add to cart like when I bought this early on and they had ample supply forever. Tried the ask a question form and "not configured." Will poke around social media.

this is really nice, i like it.

Now someone sell me a copy of Grivo - "Elude"

You can still get vinyl $19 and cassette $8 from Holodeck. Elude is just gloomy perfection. Never thought I would like something like it, but it's very visceral for me. I had the vinyl and picked up a couple cassettes at their show with Slow Crush (and Twin Drugs for @mrewestjeje) right before the pandemic.

Buy Grivo Here --->

New Tan Cologne song is out.  Great spacey psychedelic dream pop/gaze.  This kinda music has been my jam lately.

 

 

That's really nice. I never tire of that sound. It can even drift into the doom & metal / psych arena and I'm down for it.

Messa, Deathbell, Octopus all have new releases that I've been digging.

https://messa666.bandcamp.com/album/feast-for-water

If you weren't lucky enough to score Messa's new one "Close" on Bullmoose for $25, the label is doing a repress.  Their previous label, Aural Music has RP Belfry 2xLP D side etched, and still some copies of Feast For Water LP. ( I know, $hipping)

Messa: Close bandcamp

Close on Svart Records

Messa: Belfry RP and Feast For Water LP

How did you pay on PayPal? If it was a credit card you can probably dispute the charge.

Agree. I hardly ever use CC via PayPal, but this is that one instance where you will have recourse for receiving a wrong item or one not as described, and win. That may be why PP sided with the seller (PP does not like you using CC as primary).

Since it was "delivered" it's your word against the seller's and there are plenty of scammers out there saying they didn't receive an item or damaged, etc. and getting free records.

Good luck.

Will wait for the 12" on this one. I had the 3x10" RSD back in the day and they were cool, but I picked up the LP later and that is what I have listened to since. I don't mind 10" if it's something I will keep in rotation, like Lush's Spooky - just this week.

following....wake me up when vinyl orders go live

Grivo scratches that itch of gloom/ doom that comes into my life or resurfaces every now and again.  Not an every day band for sure. They're not as downtempo as True Widow....(is any other band, as in s l o w w w w?) but there's some intersection in the music to my ears. Different vocal styles of course.
