Completely smitten by her vocals. Stepping back there is nothing different or new about the music, but they do seem to have put a lot of time and effort into perfecting each track. I enjoyed reading their backstory and inspiration, and never would have thought the psyche scene of London and then returning to the northern hinterlands of England would have inspired a superethereal dreampop album. Don't know if I will get the vinyl yet, but definitely going to visit this again.
And agreed, that Mondaze wall of noise is pure bliss.

I'm not sure if it's been discussed before here or not but the album Day by Day by White Flowers is fantastic.  Ordered the blue from overseas and finally had a chance to listen to it this last weekend.   Highly recommended.

Okay, I lied.  Thinking about it a little more… 3-4.

Evan hates everything pg.lost, even Key 😲 and even though every album is different. It’s just a long-standing joke that he will never like any pg.lost. Period. 😂

Need this on vinyl!!

Yeah the rigidity is something that people complain about but I don’t mind one bit. But I know they’re capable of being more fluid, too. I caught a show of theirs in 2011 or so where Mike had an issue with his guitar and so he’d walk over to the PA booth. This happened during the drum intro to Harper Lewis so Dave just kept playing over and over and adding little changes here and there. Once everything was fixed they picked up where they left off and it was almost seamless. 

Yeah, them Godspeed and Mogwai (who I've still yet to see) are all within a few days/weeks of each other. I'm mega stoked. Gonna have to stock up on THC seltzer for all those shows  
 

New WARM EP

Cathy?? She looks like she got rode hard and put away wet.

Does she still get kind of drunk and tweet?  I always thought those were fun / entertaining to read.

I caught that tour as well. It was actually my first encounter with Emma. What a rabbit hole its been. 

Yes dude, I caught a Marriages and Russian Circles show in like 2013 where Dave from RC played drums for both bands, it was so cool and a great show. I regularly wear my Marriages tee. 

Yes, I wasn’t into that album when it came out but rediscovered it after her release with Thou. Great album.

NICE!!!!
 
And just want to say that my life could use another Marriages album. 

Sorry for your loss 🤕

Yeah the new album is an absolute banger.  They've been supplying my Isis fix for a long time, along with Pet Slimmers. 

It's selling well, too, so I would pick up your copy before its too late! 

New Tacoma Narrows is very solid. Reminds me a lot of the early Pelican LPs.

Nice!  Was trying to keep an eye on the venue page.  Rather just eat the service charges than miss out again.  Will say Mamiffer and Helms Alee are much more appealing openers for me, so that's kind of a bonus.

No regrets on this purchase, a real box for a box set - now to spin the vinyl hopefully tomorrow and next week.
 It's after midnight here, but I'm going to watch that old 30's Vampyr B&W movie synced up to the YONL soundtrack.

Man I really hope these are not like $45 each or something. Because as much as I’d like to say I’d have an internal debate and look like that .gif of Larry David in front of the Palestinian chicken place, I’ll know that I’m going to buy them just like I bought that recent Nothing album that I’m still not even sure what it is lol

I was excited with how they came out. I found a friend who wanted my copy of Nord, still looking to get rid of Tocsin and Ausserwelt. I haven't had the chance to spin them yet (I've been buying so many records lately with little to no time to spin anything). The one thing I noticed with the boxset copy of Tocsin was it didn't include the poster. Aside from audio quality that seems to be the only real difference I've found. That and the new artwork is pretty glossy over the matt printed covers of the older versions.

Gotcha!

^Indeed, I found this EP some time ago and really liked it -  those tracks give me hope that Giants are not over yet!
@drds89 yes Don, it's beautiful and still have a special place in my collection

god i hope so.  That and losing out on two Dunk! festivals hurts so much, especially given that Dunk moved their fucking location away from the forests and fields of Zottegem.
