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.

Do you like Elude at all? Not all gloomgaze clicks with me, but for whatever reason, those Muses never tire of that one on my TT.

100 emoji. They are the real deal live as well. It looks like on IG post, the brothers are still there (guitar/vocalist and drummer) but bassist has changed. And he was the real friendly one at the show to talk with. Same show with Twin Drugs and Slow Crush right before COVID. I know I have to keep rubbing that in haha. 50 people crammed in like sardines at this kitsch horror dive in RVA. Slow Crush are coming back in April and locals Shy, Low will be playing as well! hoping Twin Drugs can get on and play some of their new material (I have not heard any of it yet).

Thanks for posting, great news!

Mono - Scarlet Holliday /1000 Silver Metallic for $20 + $4 ship in the US 3 tracks

VMP in on the game

I like the old stuff, start from the beginning and take your time.

Stargazer Lilies is some really nice psychegaze

The only variant I have listened to is Cream, no problems

Constants hardly ever get talked about. At one time during the Sheath pinnacle, I had all 3 pressings of this album, now just the /300 Cream. Will Benoit is one seriously talented individual, multi-instrumentalist and Radar Recording Studio owner. Got to meet him when he was playing bass for Rosetta on the Utopioid tour. Will's vocals (to my ears) sound like 3 different singers for the first 3 albums, and maybe a 4th on Pasiflora. I must confess in a pinch, I will listen to the 3rd record, The Ascension, when I don't have time for the whole album. Probably 6 or 7 times I've done that. Parts 1 and 2 are excellent , but Abraxis I through ...Passage would be my recommendation if you want to check them out but don't have time for a triple LP. Passage may be my favorite track, perfectly placed on the journey. And yes, I would buy Nostalgia on vinyl in a heartbeat!

Ol' boomer gen Z here was miraculously able to snag one, they were gone somewhere between 2 and 3 minutes. Yep, if you weren't russian, or did any Stalin.... ba doom ching

Ooh, completely missed that. 2 awesome tracks, another no brainer for the growing tape collection!

Hope you're doing well, Jon and have great holiday season!

All 3 Nadja/Vampillia collaborations are going to be released on cassette in a box set - $35 + $9 shipping limited to 100. AB said a few would be on their site but recommended ordering from badmoonrising at Bandcamp On mobile today - hope this link works. Imperfection and Perfect World are always in rotation. Nadja/Vampillia Trilogy Box set

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.

Yes, let Blankenberge keep on doing their thing! (vs PSUB which kinda lost me when they moved to LA) New Fleeting Joys album for PO. Don't know how many they pressed? I wish they would press Occult Radiance. You can still get Despondent Transponder RP as well -- I can't believe those are still around. And the discogs prices for Speeding Away... oy. Fleeting Joys -- All Lost Eyes And Glitter

They can do no wrong with opener selection, but during the tour with Junius in 2013, when they opened with Of Foam And Wave in Chapel Hill NC, I was literally brought to tears. Have had & still have plenty of goosebump /ASMR reactions to music, some tracks every time, but tears... a rare occurrence.

Congrats, Matt!

I know there's a few cassette collectors here, 1 more left on their bandcamp page: Orange (Green sold out). Blankenberge: Everything

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

Welcome to the Hotel California 😉

It's getting to be that season... love them. Perfect for cassettes too.

Late to the party but never too late I guess (except for vinyl under $50 ppd to US). Athens, Greece. Post rock with some psych, some grit, some soft, some prog, something for everyone. Their Methlab: The Last Second Their S/T from 2013 is a kicker, too. Really not smitten with the recent pandemic EP tracks tho, may be need a few more listens, but some will like the BM vocals.

Preorder at Denovali Assuming the usual: /150 Limited (Clear) /350 Black Price is 18 euro and great shipping price to USA

Still have cassette on my Wantlist, but went ahead and got a Purple & Blue Swirl. Significant Hum homage as the record develops. Seems like a theme this week with bands here and on the gaze thread (Hum). No complaints.
