Neanderthal Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Beat me to it. They said on their FB that they restocked old shirts but there's nothing different so that bummed me out... But I am so excited for this album. They blew me away live last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkrtz Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 But I am so excited for this album. They blew me away live last year. Seeing them in June opening for Deafheaven and Pallbearer. Never heard W&R and have been wondering what to expect, so this is nice to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard W&R and have been wondering what to expect, so this is nice to read. I think myself and others would agree they're on the cusp of becoming pretty notable. They have a pretty unique sound in my opinion. And I think it's really cool Felix (the singer) rocks a midi pad, which I think is an MPC, with a guitar strap so he can jam out with it as opposed to standing still with it on a table.

jhulud Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I was prompted to check them out when I saw that they're touring w/ DFHN in June. I was hooked. I dig their sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azvd Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It's a great band, both previous albums must be checked out. Ordered along with that Mamaleek that went up along. Bummer that I didn't resist the Planning For Burial preorder a couple of weeks ago. If I had, It would have made a great Flenser batch, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Variant sounds great. I never did get around to checking out that 7", but I'm quite fond of Youth, when the mood is right. I've always assumed it was the early sound of a band dialing in an original, quality style. Very eager to hear where they go with this one.

You can also DL their first album, Black Cassette for free on bandcamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The Flenser has really become a label to watch in the last year or two. Stoked for this and Planning for Burial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderthal Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The Flenser has really become a label to watch in the last year or two. Nailed it. So far this year, I've yet to listen to an album I like more than Totem by White Suns. I might be the lone man on that one, but there's something so damn powerful about it to me.

dkrtz Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I finally listened to No Youth and I was really surprised by what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderthal Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Okay wow I find this new song to be amazing. Perfect in brevity. https://soundcloud.com/flenserrecords/wreck-reference-apollo-beneath-the-whip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azvd Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Flenser is delivering as they never did. This track is amazing and the album seems nothing but promising. W&R, HaNL and PfB are all in this years' essential records list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neanderthal Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 This is now streaming, for those interested. I don't have time to listen this evening, despite really wanting to. I listened once all the way through and probably will tomorrow. Shit. I can't wait to spin. This band is climbing my personal ranks. To sum this album up, I'd say it's as out there as can be while still being pretty accessible. In terms of song length and structure.

fuckoffleatherjacket Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 This came today, the colored record is one of the coolest I've seen in a while (the colored variant of No Youth might be my favorite one I own). Spinning it now sounds great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neanderthal Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 After many listens, top 5 AotY's for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azvd Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I wouldn't go that far, actually after a good bunch of listens, I'd say it's my least favorite W&R record. Black Cassette and No Youth are somewhat better put together, sounding bigger. Might be the hand of the almighty Colin Marston vs. Jack Shirley. Perhaps it's the pace that slows down throughout it and never recovers back. Still, it's one of the darker records of 2014, no doubts. And that's good enough.

radiatorhums Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I got half way through this before I had to head to the airport. Loved what I heard, pretty excited to get back to listen to the rest of this (and Planning for Burial). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely a slower album, no question. Maybe that's why I find it to be more powerful. I'm a big fan of slow music. It's my favorite of theirs.

dkrtz Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Haven't heard the album yet but the songs where phenomenal live. The band floored me. The way the Guy on lead used that preprogrammed instrument was so interesting, and the way the drummer goes ballistic allthewhile vocalizing a vicious, unique growling style.. I was really into it. I picked up this awesome 17x11 poster they had (for only $3!) which I thought had a blackhole in space pictured above a paragraph of lyrics.. it is actually crushed pills pressed under a CD, which in retrospect makes sense; the drummer was so bug eyed and wiggin' out whenever I met him and tried to compliment his playing style. He also looked really confused when asked to sign the back of my poster lol. They were great though. Wish I coulda picked up one of the colored Want LPs...
