Just hope isn't on Mylene Sheath Yeah, don’t quote me on that Tertia news or get your hopes too high unless the band makes the album art their Facebook photo, or something. They’ve got their plate full if they’re recording a new album this year like they’ve claimed they’ll be. Dunk! do pre-orders, right? I know that FF remaster drops in March. I assume we’ll have the option to order before then, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Saw this band posted on IG today. Pretty cookie cutter post-metal but the last track on this album slays pretty hard imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Anyone as keen on that From Fathoms as I am want to text me? I’ve seen some Dunk! variants go quick and I’d be bummed to miss out on it. Will return the favor since I plan to scout for it until it drops. Also @Gumbo72203, since you seem to be in the loop with Elusive releases more than most... when are we getting that Earthcult pressed?

pemulis Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Oh hell yeah. Russian circles and We Lost the Sea in Sydney! New material for both. April can't get here fast enough. Might go to Melbourne to see the line up twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: Caspian - i know the band served TMS with legal papers some months ago, so I think it's fair to assume that the label is toast, completely. Re: TRNA - It's coming soon. Looks like Ravena is next, then another one (maybe Bruit) and THEN TRNA. It's being worked on, that's all I know. It's coming though, don't worry. I'd guess probably late spring?

Derek™ Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Late Spring of... 2020? Or Australia’s Spring? It seems like they take their time with releases – not a complaint since the quality is great – so I’d be impressed to 3 knocked out in just a few months if we’re already halfway through January.

They all have other full-time lives besides this, and one of the dudes is finishing his college studies.... it's coming haha. Don't worry. But seriously.... RAVENA ON VINYL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great start to the year for those guys. I didn’t hate their last couple of releases or anything, but that new album is way more solid. Maserati should be done recording their latest album. I have to admit that even with the weird vocoder stuff they’ve been doing on their last few albums, I come back to them quite a bit and enjoy what I hear. Instant order from TRL when they decide to drop it. Cant' wait to hear the new Mono. I just get the shipping notification. And I have big expectations for Maserati !

mrewest Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Wow that End of the Ocean was very very disappointing first time through. Just about every song sounded exactly the same to me. The only song that even had me remotely excited was “foresaken”. Other than that the tempo rarely changes & every song is basically structured the same way. They’re lucky they’re so incredible live because my goodness they’re hard to listen to outside of that. Maybe more listens will change my mind but I’m not even excited to listen again.

Derek™ Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Now I’m especially eager to hear it because I feel like my modern taste in post-rock is just about polar opposite from Gumbo and mrewest. But at least we’ll always have Russian Circles and Caspian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I actually was not extra impressed either, but a few of the songs are not too shabby. I sort of fell off the post-rock train because a lot of it is "not too bad, but not too great," and the excitement waned tremendously. Going to try and make 2019 the year I find exciting post-rock again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s easily their best release but even so it all sounds so watered down overall. Their recorded stuff just sounds so muted compared to their live show. ’-aire’ is definitely louder this time around but most it just blends together. It’s more generic post-metal and less “signature TEOTO” sound imo. Although “foresaken” is real legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to try and make 2019 the year I find exciting post-rock again. That’s how I’ve felt about the genre for the last few years especially. It gets misinterpreted as disdain for the genre when in truth there’s more meh than animosity (animehsity?) It takes something notable or fresh to really captivate my attention with new releases and yet I feel there are a handful of artists who can still seem to do no wrong. Fortunately a handful of them are releasing material for 2019, so that’s exciting. I’ll make sure I weigh in on a first impression of -aire. Can’t be more forgettable than that last Patch of Sky album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Also had the chance to listen to TEOTO this morning. First impressions give it a 6-7/10 for me. For whatever reason, I want to compare it to If These Trees Could Talk's latest, because it checks all the boxes, musically, but there's not enough there to get me excited. One of those releases that I'll put on my Discogs wantlist and snag if a cheap copy rolls around, but won't be itching to buy otherwise. I agree that "Forsaken" is a jam; everything else just kind of ebbs and flows without delivering any standout moments. I'll return to this, though.

Derek™ Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Completely echo the 6-7 rating. The album doesn’t do anything to turn the genre on its head but I didn’t find myself rolling my eyes at any point, any nothing was offensively generic enough to be used in a commercial. Wasn’t paying attention to track titles but glanced at my phone to note that the climax of Redemption was pretty nice. On initial pass a lot of it does sort of pass by but I did hear enough of a contrast in slower / calmer moments compared to the heavy ones... though it still could’ve benefited from a bit more variety. Will probably form a more solidified opinion after a few more listens later on, but as it stands I was expecting a lot worse based off some comments here.

mrewest Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Just got back from the Tides & End of the Ocean show. Both were top notch. Tides are killer live & definitely have the far superior songs. But they are no match for the titans of live post-rock. TEOTO played mostly new stuff, and some was pretty dull still yet they sound so perfect & full live that even the dull songs sound great in person. However “redemption”, “foresaken”, “desires” were all awesome. Definitely my favorites of the new stuff. As they always do, they closed with “We Always Think There’s Going to be More Time” & if I had to put together a Mt. Rushmore of live post-rock songs that would be up there next to Sycamore.
