Their old stuff has a singer and is VERY influenced by Cult of Luna, but I love it. 12 hours ago, mrewest said: Shit I’ll buy just about anything for that price. I’ve never even listened to this album. Thanks Gumbo! You’re always trying to spend my money & finally succeeded Nicely done! I mean, it's $13 haha. I love Crimea. If you like Cult of Luna, you're going to dig this. Heavy, building post-metal. It's got their old singer, the same as on The Quietest Place on Earth before he took his own life. 3 hours ago, mrewest said: New Pillars track is solid http://pillarstheband.bandcamp.com/track/dissolution I'll see that and raise you the new Immanu El song! New album from Blankenberge is up on Bandcamp also! What a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Listening to the new Blankenberge and really enjoying it thus far, for what it’s worth. Not exactly “post-“ but enough of us are into their sound, and for good reason. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW. Their previous album was good, but I felt it copied bands a bit too egregiously - I heard Caspian riffs, the theme from "Not My Blood" by Gates was used in a song, and other stuff.... but good fucking lord, this new song. NOW I'm really fucking pumped to see them at Dunk. This crushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a slight step up but I’ll need to hear more first. But I also really liked that album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend is playing Mono on our TV right now so I can't totally check but I'm almost 100% positive that it's the title track from the album. I'll get you a timestamp tomorrow. Also my girlfriend likes Mono. Life is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I'll have one Blankenberge More Deluxe to go please! (light on the noodles track 6). Hope Phil /Elusive Sound can do this at some point. They seem to continue to explore musical territory where PSUB left off and moved in another direction. Both good, win:win. I like WLST (and similarly YONL) as instrumental bands > with vocals.

zaoza Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Hi guys, this is my first time posting in this thread. Just wanna share about this band Often The Thinker. Not sure whether they've been mentioned before, but it's FFO Do Make Say Think, The Six Parts Seven and the likes. I love the last album Better Part of Vice, and Drew (the head honcho) was really nice in shipping the CD to me in Malaysia. They're currently in the midst of releasing a new album, and looking out for interested parties to collaborate and to press it on vinyl. https://oftenthethinker.bandcamp.com/ deafening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely had my attention at DMST and T6P7. Already queued it up to kick off work for tomorrow – I'll let you know what I think and hopefully join you on the vinyl crusade shortly after.

They randomly followed me on IG and commented on a photo of DMST's LP that I posted, and when I gave a listen, was immediately hooked. Just noticed you've changed to the cover of MYT. Instantly made me recall Mogwai Fear Satan in a live setting. Glorious. Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instantly made me recall Mogwai Fear Satan in a live setting. Glorious. Of the 3 times I’ve caught Mogwai, I only got to witness Mogwai Fear Satan once... but it’s stuck with me closely, despite occurring 5 years ago. Probably the best wall of sound I’ve ever been enveloped by, at a show. Really sparked a newfound appreciation of that track for me. Regarding Often the Thinker; I really enjoyed BPOV. The DMST comparisons are right on the money – it’s the same caliber of “wholesome” post-rock with colorful instrumentation and just a hint of jazzy influence. No monster riffs or breakdowns or anything, but it’s the same caliber of enjoyment that I get out of listening to DMST or even Old Canes. I’m very much on board for a vinyl pressing at this point, if it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a regional release that's not available in Germany...if you're looking for anything limited to Europe, give me a shot and we'll work something out! Hey you still down for this if I get one? Definitely still want Glass Animals if you find it. I don’t know yet if my store is getting Pelican but I should know tomorrow.

Derek™ Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I’ve always attested that PSOTY are more or less Isis with cleaner, more accessible vocals. I would take anything from them on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
