Gumbo72203 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Maybe we all can do a Spurv group buy at some point. Would totally do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Stuff that's more on the post-side of post-rock is always good too, but I tend to gravitate first towards shit that kicks ass, like ITTCT or Caspian. The more post oriented post rock is called postpost rock. Cmonnnnnn, man. Get with the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Have you ever checked out Not to Reason Why? They're the pinnacle of piano post-rock in my opinion. Also you can pick up their 2xLP for $15 shipped from their Bandcamp, which is a nice treat. I have not. I'll be checking them out tomorrow! Not To Reason Why and Maybeshewill are my top picks for piano-driven post-rock. (Minus that last Maybeshewill record, which was mediocre at best.) It's probably heresy, but I've only listened to The Book of Hours by NTRW... and those 3 songs at 31 minutes have cemented my stance on them being kings of the piano in post-rock. Criminally underrated. I think I'll be throwing that on, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there even INSTRUMENTS? Haha. Also, I need some advice on international shipping from you guys. I have a couple people interested in records from Switzerland and Belgium, but my post office quoted me at fucking $21.95 for a record, and you can't do tracking with that option. Feel free to PM so as not to clog up the board here, but I'm just curious what you guys have all done in the past with regards to international shipping. Would UPS be cheaper? Fedex? This is uncharted territory for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is uncharted territory for me. And this is why we have group buys, cause we are all painfully aware of oversea shipping costs. $22 is the norm for USPS.

mrewest Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 FedEx or UPS will never come close to the $22 shipping overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Man oh man. I am falling hard for that 3rd song on the Spurv album((Lyden av lov som biter seg fast til sin egen kropp). The thing that brings it all together is that single, underlying bass note that just thumps throughout the whole song. It's exactly what I love about Cecilia::Eyes' song "Default Descent". It brings a sense of impending doom to the wall of sound that's happening there. And it's one of the songs that give me a Shy, Low guitar tone sense. Is there any other place besides Bandcamp to get that vinyl? I priced out 5-7 copies earlier, and after the redistribution once it hits the US, you are only saving $2 per person.

mrewest Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 I gave one of the Not To Reason Why albums a way-too-casual listen, but dug some of what I heard. I need to give it some more dedicated time though. I was too eager to relisten to Spurv again. And then I got back in a Cecilia::Eyes mood, so I started listening to Here Dead We Lie again. If anyone STILL hasn't checked them out yet, that album is a damn masterpiece. And to piggy back on the piano driven stuff, I forgot about the few songs on this album that are piano heavy mixed with their post-rock/shoegaze style, and it's pretty incredible. Especially The Departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing what I know, I can't imagine you'd be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck yeah dude, that 3rd song is totally fucking epic. That's gotta be my favorite too. I kind of wish that it developed further into another section, but it's still awesome on it's own as that one main ideal, dissolving into nothingness.

I'm curious, have you ever once listened to a post rock song and thought to yourself "I love it just the way it is". It seems you always say how good a song is, but you wish it did X and Y instead. I love this song, but...I wish it was 3 hours longer. This song is epic, but...they need to change everything. When I played this song I was thrown back in my seat,... I just wish they re-recorded the whole album differently. TheGhostOfRandySavage and GhostTrail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pnumekin Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Figured I would throw out some bands on here since I haven't done that in a while. Some new, some old, some you might have heard of, some you might haven't heard of. Happy listening.

Gumbo72203 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Finally picked up Jakob - Solace on vinyl yesterday for $40. It was the repress but still it feels pretty good. Where in the ever-living fuck did you buy that from?!?!? I'm genuinely interested. Hmmmmmm, this one will be very, very tough. Arcs of Command was the first thing that came to my mind, though. So much post-rock to cull from for this, I'll definitely have to get back to you about this. "They Speak With Knives" is up there, too. Probably "Quiet" and/or "The World Is Our ___" by This Will Destroy You. And if we're counting post-metal, "Dim" by Cult of Luna for sure, even though that's really their version of "Weight" by Isis haha. But yeah, let me think on this. Probably a bunch of old Joy Wants Eternity stuff, too. Just got their ENTIRE back catalog from this dude on Discogs. As well as a bunch of Sunlight Ascending CDs!!!! I now have "All The Memories, All At Once," "The Appointment EP", and "You Don't Belong Here". So. Fucking. Good. I'm curious, have you ever once listened to a post rock song and thought to yourself "I love it just the way it is". It seems you always say how good a song is, but you wish it did X and Y instead. My thing with that track was that I kept waiting for it to change to a new section. It has that one TREMENDOUS fucking groove, and I just kept waiting and waiting for it to burst into a new section with a new chord or something, so that they could then maybe COME BACK to that killer fucking main A section. Also, spinning "Young Mountain" by This Will Destroy You right now. Good lord, I forgot how fucking tremendous this album was. The first side is unfuckwithable. I have the green pressing with the weird shitty non-jacket and the awful text font that's super hard to read, but this pressing sounds fantastic.

All of their releases look super cool with the paper stock jackets. And you suck for owning Solace. They just went for $50 and $80 on Discogs last week, and I regret not pulling the trigger on one of them. Damn, post-rock vinyl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 A little late with all the Toundra love over the past two weeks, but does anyone need their Nordeste 7"? Trying to purge my 7"s and I'd like to see it go to a good home or Toundra completist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
