I don't know if these guys count for post-whatever, but I say they do because of their post-rock peaks, but do you guys like The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die? I just discovered these guys on a lark, and holy cow.... this is some quite impressive stuff. Plus, judging from my comparisons on their wikipedia page in regards to song-lengths and their live session videos, it seems they do in fact improvise a little bit and jam into songs. Very cool. Loving this right now. I've tried getting into these guys but I find them more on the emo spectrum than post-rock. Kind of like Prawn (but I dig Prawn). TWIABP has their moments but overall I just can't get into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some good songs, but I find most really boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 I know this band was posted at some point early on in this thread, but because of an IG suggestion, I finally gave it a listen. Holy shit this album is good. http://lauraisnotaband.bandcamp.com/album/radio-swan-is-down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post #FF that I had listened to Radio Swan Is Down at least 3 times this week and was going to recommend folks here revisiting that album (or for those who had not heard of Laura)! Album definitely worth of wax and I would buy in a heartbeat. mrewest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I love so many AUS and NZ bands...so, since Evan most astutely pointed folks to Laura, here's another oldie to revisit - it has so many varied textures in the universe of postrock. My favorite track is Kip Keino, I think because of the samples, and I was a youngster when that was going down / nostalgia factor. It's a cool story to check out if you like track and field. Having the Olympics right now makes it a timely listen as well. hazards of swimming naked - our lines are down Dumbsaint is another AUS postrock/metal band (instrumental trio) that started off with an ISIS flavor to my ears, but they combine cinematics with all of their releases. They have a bit of a dark or 'disturbing' edge to their pscyhe, even moreso than Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving. Their latest is really quite a piece of work that I got a Test Press for. But here is a popular video from Dumbsaint's first in 2012. Dumbsaint - Don't Forget To Bring The Sky Down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Mylene Sheath will have preorders soon http://noisey.vice.com/blog/mustard-gas-and-roses-interview-premiere I liked that track, it reminded me a lot of "In The Absence of Truth" -era Isis. The vocals are different, probably going to take some getting used to. But I liked that song, really want to hear more from this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 More music discoveries: Temples, a post-rock band from Utah. What I'm finding I like about these guys is that they play fast. A lot of their material is in the higher energy spectrum. They remind me of Caspian at times, the way they groove and the way the guitars are just so thick and soupy. They're not quite so melodically rich as Caspian, though. https://templesmusic1.bandcamp.com/track/frostwork https://templesmusic1.bandcamp.com/track/youth-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, and "Owl" from Youth seem to be my favorites so far. Edited August 24, 2016 by Gumbo72203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizio59 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It seems that Caspian played a new song called Castles High, Marble Bright last night in Hannover.

D&D OPENER? And then the trinity? AND SAD HEART OF MINE!?! fucking hell, man. I hope they keep this setlist for the fall here. Glad to see Halls of the Summer and Fire Made Flesh taking a seat finally. Fantastic, amazing songs of course. But it's time to let some other stuff shine.

Realistically, just add Malacoda in there and I'm good. I'd really also want Moksha and Loft, but then we're getting a little ridiculous. But I'm telling you though.... these guys should start doing true headline shows where they do 2 sets. Take a 15-20 minute break... rest up.... and then come back and slay again. It would give the audience the chance to really hear everything. Because all of their songs are stage-worthy, and it would truly place them at the peak of the post-rock world. If Sigur Ros can do it now, Caspian can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could keep it in rotation! And still have room for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
