mrewest Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Wait...Caspian is in town??!?? They played in Pittsburgh tonight. Made the drive with my brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Holy shit Caspian annihilated tonight. That new song "Arcs of Command" is INSANELY heavy. Incredible. Got to chat with Phil after the show & told me they have that song & another recorded so far (he described it as a more intense Hymn... *drool*). Such a down to earth guy. When I told him how awesome the new song was, he genuinely appreciated it. He said they hadn't gotten any feedback on the song so he said hearing that "made his night". I can't believe no one had bothered to tell them how incredible Arcs is. He also said that the band so far is having the most fun they've ever had making a new record. God I can't wait to hear it.

Derek™ Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Nice, man. That's great to hear. Did he hint at an ETA for it? 2015 I'd assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Sounds like an incredible show. Caspian never disappoints. They were in Cleveland sometime mid-last year and they killed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Nice, man. That's great to hear. Did he hint at an ETA for it? 2015 I'd assume? Yeah he said sometime next year it'll be out. He said this was basically their last show for probably a year or so & they'll be working on the album & getting it done before touring again.

drds89 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Seas of Years so yummy. gonna check it after I get some chicken wings... and thisquietarmy's "Rebirths" finishes (bandcamp, also ordered the #/44 vinyl from Eric's site, unique art for each one). Anyone who hasn't dabbled within the drone megalopolis, this may surprise you as quite engaging, as well as Nadja's Queller. kingofthegutters! As soon as my Stargazer order ships (yesterday) with Terraformer's The Sea Shaper x 2, lookie what's in the Stargazer shop? cecilia::eyes Disappearance: @17 euros for the single LP (scratching head at the price for an LP). http://thestargazerstore.com/collections/vinyl/products/cecilia-eyes-disappearance-lp edit: I recognize that album art on Seas of Years. I used to jot down notes of everything I listened to, but stopped last year just trying to keep the tradelist up to date. That track Harbour simply kills...but all 4 tracks are really good. Yummy is a good word! (waiting for those wings btw ) edit #2: Now I remember, it's my dear friend Nat from UK that recommended this to me via Youtube, who also sent me Owel, sleepmakeswaves, MovMou on LP and Anathallo and Mutemath on CD. If you're lurking here, shine thyself as calling this one months prior, girl, where are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only listened once...someone else here might know more about them.

Youinreverse Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I went on vacation the past couple weeks and hit a few record stores along the way. I found this gem for $4 in the bargain bin at Mississippi Records in Portland. It's the tour copy /100, and the inner sleeve is signed by Andrew Barnes and Tim Skirven. I was shocked to find this! batman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely qualifies for the coveted 'You S*ck' award! (a highest compliment in another collectibles arena, and I believe has to be at least a 500% instant profit to qualify, which yours EASILY does). That's just sick, $4. Someone sold that for $1 or $2 prob. to get some money for smokes). Grand slam out of the park home run, and that jacket looks pristine from the pictures. You know how LONG people be lookin' for that variant?? Congrats dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 You know I'd be all over that Cecilia Eyes if it wasn't for one little fact. The frickin vinyl is missing Loretta & Isolated Shower. I just can't justify the hefty Euro price + shipping for an album that's missing the two songs I'd most want (well, 2 of the 3...Default Descent is on there at least). If it ever shows up on a US distro somewhere then I'd probably still get it, but I'd never be able to enjoy it for the cost right now. But good looking out nonetheless! And a GFE tour press for $4?!?!?!? That's insanity right there. Kudos on that find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 For those who like Silent Whale Becomes A Dream: Canopy - I received this message on discogs: "Very soon, reissue of "Canopy" in LP (vinyl) only. Look website :arbouserecordings.com and a "Canopy remixs" by Benoit Pioulard, Witxes, Melodium and Loscil" from the owner of the label I presume. May be up for a group buy depending upon prices/ shipping / # pressed and my situation when he actually puts them up for sale edit: looks like they recorded a live album in May that is planned to be released in November as well but nothing on Canopy on the site. http://www.arbouserecordings.com/news.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked to find this! nice score. nice nice nice. i miss those guys....a lot. i liked the direction they were heading. A Healthy Fear is my favorite..which is rare since i tend to like earlier to latter. heres a band i dig when doing renders or mundane photoshop crap. very safe post rock so it might not blow your socks off but it works for me. -free album Astralia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The Evpatoria Report showed up on FB as some of the brothers and sisters here know, asking about interest in vinyl pressings? Let them hear you if you're interested, plz https://www.facebook.com/theevpatoriareport?fref=nf Don't know but I wonder if the Forbenator somehow made contact? You know, Evpatoria and all thinges ET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Don't know but I wonder if the Forbenator somehow made contact? You know, Evpatoria and all thinges ET I was thinking this myself. Especially since you brought up Evpatoria in this thread, where Forbs was gathering ideas and interest... only to have the band bring up vinyl pressings - literally for the first time ever, out of the blue - roughly 10 days letter. The dots connect quite nicely. That's all I'm saying. drds89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was strangely ecstatic around my house last night about midnight checking the FB news feed and seeing what seemed legit Evpatoria Extra-Terrestrial activity. I know the die hard postrock family will buy the heck out of anything that they can press - not sure about us 'muricans as much - but the Europeans will go bonkers. The old ATPR site - I miss it.

You know, Evpatoria and all thinges ET I know I mentioned it before, but I'll mention it again: The Evpatoria Report is one of my all-time fav instrumental bands. Just everything they put out was top tier, and Golevka was the pinnacle. I've gone so far as to see how much it would cost to get myself a one-off 2xLP cut of it, but nothing ever came of it. I'd be over the moon if anything was ever pressed. The dots connect quite nicely. That's all I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm going to have to give Evpatoria Report some more listens. I've checked them out before, remember liking what I heard but haven't revisited it enough yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm losing track of who may have posted what already so I apologize if this may be a duplicate. Sora Shima sorashima.bandcamp.com -Really solid ambient/shoegaze mix. Just randomly found this on spotify today. Man Is Not a Bird manisnotabird.bandcamp.com/album/restlessness-ep -Just a four song EP, not super polished, and nothing groundbreaking at all, but for some reason I enjoyed it.

stillused Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I've been digging these two releases recently: http://widekmusic.bandcamp.com (progressive instrumental metal with ambient bits) http://alphamaleteaparty.bandcamp.com (heavier version at ASIWYFA) If anyone is interested in alpha male tea party and wants to go in on their vinyl let me know. I can work out buying and shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I can't seem to find much information on them at all, but I've been really digging this Russian post-metal album lately and thought I'd share it - http://escadre.bandcamp.com/album/ambitum A lot like Watered, and a little like If These Trees Could Talk.
