fugazi Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 New LP: "Self Portrait" is the latest album from Loma Prieta. A ten song masterwork recorded by engineer Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden Recording Studio (Deafheaven). Opener "Love" layers unorthodox melodies amid a tangle of pensive, despondent vocals. These humanly complex qualities loudly bleed into every aspect of the album. Driven by feedback drenched guitar work "Black Square", "Roadside Cross", "Net Gain", and "More Perfect" all effortlessly veer from one post everything sub-genre to the next. Leading to the beautifully skewed "Nostalgia", a song that creeps from the haze with dark harmonic leanings. "Never Remember", "Merciless", and "Rings" venture down a similar crash and bang path before closer "Satellite" takes flight. An emotional epic that delves deep into introspection before finding total sonic obliteration. New EP: Loma Prieta's "Love" EP features "Love" from their "Self Portrait" album, as well as the exclusive B-Side, "Trilogy 0 (Debris)". Both songs were recorded during the "Self Portrait" sessions with engineer Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden Recording Studio (Deafheaven, etc).

fugazi Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Kinda sad that the vinyl is not out before November but nethertheless I'm super stoked for some new Loma. Will pre-order the shit out of this. That cover also kinda screams for a nice little die-cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvv Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I.V. was awesome so I expect this to be just as great and even better, 3 years i've been patient for this, every band that records with Jack Shirley puts out amazing stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarcX Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I saw that this band had toured with PBtT and was on Deathwish, but I still never listened to them... I just checked out some of I.V., and.... Jesus. This is really good. Ughhh I shouldn't drop any money right now, but I do get paid this Friday, and Deathwish's prices are pretty solid.

JRHews Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Can't wait for this album. This and Suis La Lune highest anticipated screamo for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Passing on the 7", I think, but couldn't be more eager to hear that full length. I.V. feels like forever ago, and that Raein split has done little to whet my appetite since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 These guys have been quiet for so long. They were one of the first hardcore bands I got really into. Can't wait for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchorlessbodies Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 YES! 2015 is the year of screamo for sure, so many great releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzielaskowski Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 New records are definetely a must buy. But what really turns me on is a fact that I will see them live in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Looking forward to this. I. V. is one very solid record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericfitforbattle Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 YES! 2015 is the year of screamo for sure, so many great releases. Kinda missed most stuff of the year so far so what 2015 screamo releases would you recommend? I'll pick up the new Loma for sure and have the new Maths EP already, but apart from that it's been a slow year for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pick up the new Loma for sure and have the new Maths EP already, but apart from that it's been a slow year for me. For me these were the most important and enjoyable releases, I might missed some stuff though: Raein - Perpetuum, Via Fondo - Efter, Utan Under, Shizune - Le Voyageur Imprudent, Careless - I Wish You Away, Envy - Atheist's Cornea, Ephemera - S/T, Ghost Of A Dead Hummingbird - Sin forma, No Omega - Occupants, OsoLuna - S/T, Pastel - L'acchiappanuvole, Cavalcades - Lights Begin To Dance, Ostraca - Deathless. And there are still a few to be released, like this new Loma stuff, Foxes - Organic Vessels, Eyelet - Nervewrecker, Suis La Lune - Distance/CLosure, Dawn Ray'd - A Thorn A Blight and maybe a new The Saddest Landscape stuff, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mootloot Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Excited for this one! I missed them play with Pianos become the teeth a few months ago so hopefully they will tour again for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poweredbytrust Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 seeing them thursday in Germany, hopefully they will already have the new 7" singles with them. Brian confirmed to me on IG that they were hoping for them to arrive in time for the euro tour. No surprise I'd be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also from Germany I probably can't make it to one of their shows so this would be awesome! Would cover all costs of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
