mrewest Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I’m really into this new Whale Fall album. A needed break from crescendo/Dunk-core. Almost has a Do Make Say Think meets Spurv vibe. wisdom81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost has a Do Make Say Think meets Spurv vibe. Literally just came here to post this! I'm loving it. It's giving me big Wang Wen vibes, along with maybe some We Stood Like Kings. I can see the Spurv/Mono sort of thing going on too. The piano and meditative song structures give me The Seven Mile Journey vibes too. This may be album of the year for me so far. I like it a lot. https://whalefall.bandcamp.com/album/it-will-become-itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their previous one was another AOTY contender for me. It's really different for post-rock, which means you should like it. There's almost some funk elements in it, with organ and stuff. It's fantastic. Sort of like if Echoes-era Pink Floyd was merged with their post-rock sensibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vool Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Anybody willing to clear things up for me...what are you talking about when you're comparing Spotlights EP to Holy Fawn EP? Are those bands? EPs from one band? Need some new music.... 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kind of fit into several categories. Holy Fawn is more post- than Spotlights but I’d say they fit better into shoegaze. Much more ethereal. Spotlights is just ungodly heavy Deftones-esque meaty riffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omik11303 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Black Clouds was so freaking good. Just listened to both of their albums back-to-back and I'm left wondering why it's so hard for bands these days to pick up the slack.

Dusted mine off a few weekends ago as it had probably been more than a year maybe 2 since spinning them: EINGTBOK /15 TP is my listening copy and Dreamcation - Justin (Cole) sold me his in 2016.

Finally got the records maybe 6 months ago. Great stuff. Also, if you guys didn't see the A1KA Spring Sale... madness. Most shit is 33% off. Free shipping over $50 (which is basically 2 records). $5 shirts. Nuts. If you don't have Ranges, Old Solar, Appalaches, etc etc etc now is the fucking time.

Gumbo72203 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Okay so, with all this stimulus money coming in... i'm getting the urge to buy some stupid-expensive records. Do any of you have copies of "Everyone Into Position" by Oceansize? I'm just curious whether the 1st or 2nd press (180g) sounds better. Didn't wanna start a new thread, figured this was a good place.
