radiatorhums Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 How many openers did they have? It was just Silent Land Time Machine, which (unless I'm mistaken) is a solo project of one of the TWDY members. We had a little trouble getting our group together and showed up just as his set was ending, so I can't give any opinion in it sadly. I've never seen TWDY live - would love to one day (with my Etymotics). I'm really glad I brought mine, it was pretty loud with them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrewest Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Re-read the entire thread to avoid another boneheaded double-post, but I gotta give love to this new Tides of Man album. This is freaking superb. I saw a blurb from Don about this going into his "good but have enough of this" category but this is reeeeally hitting the spot for me. I feel like I do hear elements of a lot of bands I like but it all culminates perfectly. Give it a listen if you haven't yet. http://tidesofman.bandcamp.com Looks like there is some vinyl coming out soon (there's a thread started already, which led me to check this out.) http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/90877-tides-of-man-young-and-courageous-stream-inside-ffo-instrumental-music-post-rock/#entry1832639 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Unless it soars like the mighty Caspian or Giants, my tastes seem to be gravitating to heavier side of things in the post-_______ realm. But there are also groups like Beware of Safety or (sadly defunct for now) Gifts From Enola, who manage to create a new sound with each release that happens to be in a direction which tickles my ears. Love it when that happens. Admittedly, sad when it doesn't but shouldn't be. I love The Mercury Program (recording last year ? when will release), early Maserati, Signal Hill, and BoS Leaves and Scars (also recorded new album recently) -- but I think I can say, my vinyl bin is 98% full of this jazzy feeling subgenre. Maybe For the record, as to how far behind I am, I still own no Mogwai on vinyl (or EiTS). Other things keep maxing out the budget and I know it will be there anytime. "Jim Morrison" is just dope and that's not on the heavy side at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abovetheearth Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Croquill just signed these fellas. looking like their picking up steam for some future great releases. The Grasshopper Lies Heavy http://thegrasshopperliesheavy.bandcamp.com/album/every-man-for-homself-and-god-against-all (they are the first two songs on the split, which you can get here): http://texasisfunnyrecords.bigcartel.com/product/the-grasshopper-lies-heavy-god-townes-split-7-in-love Crowquill and TGLH are currently working on a vinyl re-issue of their 2010 album "Every Man for Himself, and God Against All", due out early this summer. We've had the record re-mixed by Aaron Coker (Sisters of.) and it is currently being remastered by James Plotkin who's done work for Sunn O))), Earth, Pelican, ISIS, and many others.

drds89 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Forgive me repeating myself, it deserves an all the way through for those who like TPSQ -- postrock (light, medium, heavy) and metal with excellent strings, especially that cello. Sleepstream: "They Flew In Censored Skies" https://sleepstream-music.bandcamp.com/album/they-flew-in-censored-skies I should have delved deeper into Fluttery Records before now, since The Seven Mile Journey are one of my favorites (patience music), but the time has come - my next big project to tackle. Only thing I don't if they do vinyl yet? I will buy all TSMJ back cat in a minute. And for the very last time: Pet Slimmers new release made it to... VINYL, but...it's way too expensive. If they do ever press their 1st two, I will likely buy all 3 at once, but were looking at $32 just for the wax on this new 2xLP (which is a bit more mellow, but still very good), then ship from UK. http://www.plastichead.com/catalogue.asp?ex=fitem&verb=F&target=BOBV398LP That's all for now. After checking Jared's band out, I'll be in Fluttery for a while, but peeping in to see if Mitau or Sisters Of... gets the wax treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Has anyone brought this up yet? Grails+Slint= http://temporaryresidence.com/artists/watter Apparently Tony Levin from King Crimson is playing bass? https://soundcloud.com/temporary-residence-ltd-1/watter-rustic-fog There's a thread in the big forum (edit here: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/99431-coming-in-may-watter-this-world-slint-grails/?hl=watter )- really stoked for this - when TRL tweeted the article about Papa Bear playing on a track, I bumped the thread out of major enthusiasm. Spiderland was 10 years after Discipline, and I realize Louisville, KY is pretty well cut off from civlization, the Slint kids were just teens, and that album revived *ahem* decent music, spurned new ideas, etc, but I took a lot of flak from the postrock community about Slint and Godspeed etc being influenced by progressive music scene. They wanted quotes and personal testimonials and documentaries like Danny Carey with Tool pulling out his Discipline CD during a live interview (on Youtube) to prove this 'new' rock music with Classical instruments, longer tracks, odd time signatures, and not conforming necessarily to intro, verse , chorus, verse, ...etc. connecting them to groups like KC, ELP, Yes, JT, etc. Like "poof", here's Godspeed, never anything even close to it before - really they were saying this- and most were UK kids at that who said they liked Starless and Bible Black?! I think this inclusion of Tony Levin is as close as a testimonial you're going to get for the indebtedness Slint owes to KC, et. al. and also, I give Slint and Albini major props for building upon + starting something new and very spesh - in a different direction from the 2nd generation progressive (rock and metal) scene. I'm definitely on the Watter, 100%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 New Collapse Under the Empire is up for preorder (sadly no vinyl). Love how these guys put out new stuff every year. http://collapseundertheempire.com/shop/pre-order/ I just did a Revolvermann order to replace the copy of Fragments Of A Prayer of mine you got in trade before I'd even spun it! Colaris / Ampersphere split in the /100 (Robotics has the /400 for $12.99. I do recommend this release, even the vocals of Ampersphere) and Ef Mourning Golden Morning as well. Christoph is just great to work with on shipping rates and making deals for those of us outside Germany. Will definitely look forward to listening to this when I get through some more Fluttery bands. Periodically C.U.t.E will offer free d/l's on their material. Talented duo, love their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Anyone check this out yet? This Will Destroy You's Christopher King solo project Symbol: http://holodeckrecords.com/2014/02/24/announcing-symbols-debut-online-architecture-out-4814/ maybe more fitting for the ambient/experimental thread but with the TWDY connection I felt it might fit in here as well.

drds89 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Sleeping Bear http://sbear.bandcamp.com/album/sleeping-bear Good call, Cholly! They run the spectrum from soft to heavy, predictable (but good) to unpredictable. Enjoyed very much!. What is it with postrock and bears? lots of bears. And birds on album art, too. My hours in Fluttery land didn't turn up any major finds, but did enjoy hunting around their roster. Maybe one postmetal band (I their 'token' metal) was decent/ need to re-listen some more. 7's,9's and 10's or something like that. And Sisters Of... been re-visiting them every so often, and a couple of tracks have some great hooks that I catch myself earworming - the opener with the driving 4/4 syncopated/off-beat section that drops into Tool-esque bridge picking. That's a good one; and Circle 9 keeps beckoning me back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Saw ITTCT and Cloudkicker tonight. Yep. Too much badassery on one stage. Cloudkicker was next level epic shit tonight. Blew the debut show out of the water. It would be a tragedy if this is the one & only Cloudkicker tour. drds89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Don't think I've seen this band posted yet. My brother pointed them out to me today, & I think it's damn good. I think fans of ITTCT, Sleepmakeswaves & Collapse Under the Empire will dig it. And if this was posted at some point, I apologize. I'm losing track of everything that's been posted. Band is called Watered...and they're from Germany. http://watered.bandcamp.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
