mrewest Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Starting to lose track of what has gotten mentioned, but I don't think this band has been brought up yet. Just checked them out after seeing them get love on Arctic Drones. Really damn good album after only listening through it once. Very crescendo-driven, but they do an excellent job of keeping your interest throughout the entire song. Heavy yet beautiful, with a song that even sounded like a post-rock mid-90s Radiohead song. Oh Hiroshima - In Silence We Yearn "Ruach" & "Drones" are #thejamz. I can't stop listening to this album. Every song is great. Hope someday it gets vinyl treatment!

Gumbo72203 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE Okay, please listen to this song, guys. It's by a band called We.Own.The.Sky and it's called "Raindrops and Oceans" The early part of the track recalls the lower-register darker grooves of Jakob, and some of the later guitar work recalls a bit of ITTCT use of delay rhythms, but man... the middle build bridge of this song is just to die for. The pay off riff isn't totally what I was hoping for, but holy good lord, those chill grooves are so delicious. Check it out, guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Can someone recommend me some albums that would be along the lines of Gregor Samsa - Rest and 55:12? Would love to find some more stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 If it's kosher to talk about soundtracks, might I drop in to remind everyone that The Fountain OST is amazing, as is the OST for Red Dead Redemption. That is all. One of the few OSTs I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Here's another new discovery for me last night that I'm really digging. Leech https://leechofficial.bandcamp.com/album/if-we-get-there-one-day-would-you-please-open-the-gates My favorite track is "October" and the band still has some nice looking vinyl available for a good price. Will probably pick this up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably pick this up They were earlier pretty much new prog and then converted over to proggy-postrock on the latest (October is probably my favorite track too but I remember someone liking Amazing Hog, ?Evan, it's in a PM somewhere). "A Stolen View" is my favorite, and their Long Distance Calling Split/Collab or whatever is good too iirc. "The Man With The Hammer" - well named track. I remember snagging a CD sealed of Zerotinine Days, more as a collectible thinking I had gotten an import for a steal, since it was in a dollar bin (around 2010). I have all their stuff on mp3 and don't even know if they have vinyl. But more German postrock, Never can be too much, since several of my faves disbanded.

Would love to find some more stuff like that. You probably already know Ef (Sweden), their first two are more slowcore to my ears with the male/female vocals - but I really like Mourning Golden Morning when it picks up on the back side. Kwoon (France) also has some slowcore stuff from a while back, but they are on indefinite hiatus per twitter from last year. My favorite track of theirs is not slowcore like Gregor Samsa, and it's one of those that just cuts off like Waking Season, and you think the download messed up or something and didn't get it all. Think I tried 3 times before I realized it was another one of those abrupt endings, Evpatoria Report has one, too. The song you have to listen to is an anagram: "Ayron Norya" So good. Other than those I can't really think of any postrock in the slowcore family, ...and we are diverging from the thread because there are VOCALS!!!

I've listened to them off and on for a few years. Some tracks that slay, some that are just flat out boring as hell. Overall, they suffer from some of the issues that Sleepmakewaves & Wess Meets West have suffered from in the past. Songs that drag on for far too long. Luckily both of the latter bands mentioned have remedied that with their latest outputs. If Leech can solve that problem, then they'll be a force.

I know that is sacrilege to some, including my daughter, they just haven't clicked enough to pull the vinyl trigger, though was close with Robotic Empire had them for 9.99 on Cyber Monday. They got snapped up rather quickly. This is a really nice album and I enjoyed Aria the most but the whole thing is solid. Go Sweden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he perfectly sets the mood of each song. Kind of a raspy whisper that is there when it needs to be and not there when it shouldn't be. This has turned into one of those albums where each time through I pick a new song as my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very high on my top post rock albums. The Pressing is a beauty. 180g light purple marble with a 180g lime green marble 7". Sounds fantastic too.

mrewest Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 I've only given Kokomo one casual listen in my life. Didn't grab me right away but I'll revisit. I did just drop some fat coin on the new Obsidian Kingdom PO. Unsure if anyone's listened to them, but their first album "Mantis" was this epic post-metal/black metal opera-esque album. I haven't brought them up here because there are a bunch of vocals (clean & screams/growls), but those into heavier post-metal stuff should check them out. obsidiankingdom.bandcamp.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
