jhulud Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 In case it hasn’t been posted before. Just stumbled upon Temple of Angels. They’re out of Austin, TX and have this nice blend of fuzzy & crunchy guitars with the ethereal & dreamy sound of classic 4AD bands. They have a couple of tapes out...one of which you can hear below. They’ll have a new 7” from Funeral Party out soon. Video & track premiere on 6/14. Mars and drds89 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Had not heard of them, thanks for posting @jhulud They seem to fit best here, though not tagged as such - lots of reverb on the guitars, great vocals. Reminded me to post Be Forest's Audiotree Live session if anyone missed it. Ethereal dreamgaze from Italy, I like their latest even better than Cold. I can't believe how good the minimalism sounds and the guitarist is playing a Squire! Don't know if that's a touring decision to mitigate any potential losses, but it sounds just like the studio. He keeps the same effects pretty much throughout, so you know rather quickly if it's your cuppa.

I definitely get that sentiment, but I dunno I can’t get enough of that sound so I’m perfectly fine with the lack of variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a knock, just an observation. Eager to hear where the whole thing goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This is fairly nice, especially as more of a background jam. Totally getting True Widow x Nothing vibes. @drds89 please confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally getting True Widow x Nothing vibes. @drds89 please confirm. I can agree on the Nothing vibes but way more slowed down overall & a lot moodier imo. I also get Deftones vibes. Especially in that opener. Edited June 6, 2019 by mrewest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally getting True Widow x Nothing vibes. @drds89 please confirm. I heard this at the same time as Holy Fawn back in the fall last year, and thought @deafening had recommended it, but it was @scott_c on this thread page 77. I actually PO'ed a CS if you can believe that, ordered early September and arrived late November. I didn't hype them, being more obsessed with HF at the time, and smaller darkgaze bands I like don't seem to get a lot of traction with my friends. Until you mentioned Nothing and TW, I had sectioned them in with Keep, Threading, KW/Miserable and few noise bands -- so I had to give it another run through after paperwork. I would definitely agree with vocals being consistent with Nicky from earlier Nothing -- i.e. male, soft, throaty and buried. Doesn't change through this album. They are downtempo - but I don't have to adjust my whole brain to listen to Grivo vs. TW s l o w g a z e - whom I enjoy immensely. Track 2 has a riff that sounds like TW, and a slightly longer section of track 4 that also definitely hearkens TW chord progressions. That's all I heard of TW. (for TW, check out 1990's band Should: Feed Like Fishes album. Should be on vinyl) The guitars, except for the intro on Track 1, drumming, and overall song writing / composition seems significantly different that if Nothing and TW aren't your cuppa, but you like darkgaze, I'd give these guys a listen. There are longer tracks and agreed not a lot of variety as mentioned above, but it still grabs me enough to distract from being background music. Most likely will get this on vinyl, pleasantly surprised it actually got the vinyl treatment. wisdom81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Just randomly came across this band on Bandcamp. Just Mustard. Weird mix of noise/goth/post-punk but oddly catchy. Digging this one. http://justmustard.bandcamp.com/album/wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad people are starting to get into this band. They’ve been trudging it out in So. Cal. for about 10 years. Seen them soooo many times.

Derek™ Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 No news on album details of even a proper 2019 release, but it feels inevitable to me. Would love to see a PO thread pop up soon but I’ll post one if I spy the details first. Sounds like [PIAS] will be their label of choice again.

jrodan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) new newmoon song is super meh to me on first listen. space was an incredible album, so i am hoping either the song eventually hits with me, or the rest of the album is much more interesting.
