edgedestroys Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Charlie, I know you'll be the go to dude on this. If anyone else wants to throw out any ideas, that would be cool. I'm thinking a simple one tone (white ink) of the Dust & Disquiet cover on black canvas. Charlie, Brian and I should all just thinktank a collab on something haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 So I listened to some more Doomina, and kind of pinpointed why it doesn't click with me. First, I don't like the guitar and drum sounds. Perhaps if they had better gear or it was recorded better, I would be hooked more, but the guitar sounds like a not-great solid-state amp distortion and I just don't like the sound :\ 2nd, the songwriting. They have some good riffs and ideas, but they don't build or go anywhere for me. Its just like "Okay, here's our riffs!!!" Lots of decent content, but no context. If they were better arrangers, it might make a world of difference. "Gizmo" is the one track that ever did anything for me, the last 2-3 minutes were really good. That's awesome that you guys are into it, but.... they're just not my bag. That said, THIS album has been consistently blowing me away with their songwriting lately: Very dream, energetic, well-written post-rock. These songs fucking kill it. Also, listening to "Waking Season" on vinyl rules. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 So any of you guys like Exxasens? Just finally checked their stuff out after seeing their name on Youtube all the time. Got hooked by the track "Milk Stars" which is on a post-rock comp playlist someone uploaded that I play back regularly. Listening to their "Polaris" album right now, and this is very much hitting the spot. I love how they use the double bass pedal in the drums to give things a quasi-metal vibe. They're of the more energized half-metal post-rock, the way I conceptualize Sleepmakeswaves, Caspian, ITTCT, etc. Can never get enough of this sound when done right!

drds89 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Dang Gumbo this is getting spooky. I think I started a thread for Exxasens PO for his new album. His earlier work sounded very "space" to me like GIAA or parts of instrumental Rosetta with all the delay and reverb. I like Polaris a lot, got the CD from Jason's distro when Charlie so graciously traded Vasudeva Life in Cycles splatter for my black copy. (Thanks again AtE!!) I remember listening to some of his rough takes from his home studio. He's come a long way. A UK friend gifted me Eleven Miles on vinyl, which was still in that same vein, but his new one is more gritty sounding now that he formed a touring band. Same direction pg.lost went but he doesn't quite achieve glory I like it pretty well so far and it was cheap from Spain as a po - delayed delayed delayed. (Aloud Music, also pressed Atlas by Astralia, need their ST pressed) I haven't been talking it up because like Toundra Kitsune, it has some very good moments but no home runs. The wax does look awesome though, the Exxasens and Astralia - but I think Atlas is OOP or on 2nd press. Didn't buy Toundra on wax. Reviewer shared it with me and after > 5 listens I dumped it.

Gumbo72203 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I've actually been playing the new Exxasens on youtube all day and it fucking rules. Everything this band does is awesome. So the previous albums were all just one dude? Listening to "Beyond The Universe" and the break into this major key section in "Sky In Red" is fucking sweeeeeeeeet!!!!

mrewest Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 anybody else getting tickets for the Maybeshewill gig? I want to so bad. But I just don't think I can make the trip. It's 21+ which means my P.I.C. brother can't go, plus it's like a 10 hour drive for me. And now I'm already making an NYC road trip for Adele! Wooo! Haha. If I was rich and could just afford flights like it was nothing I'd probably find a way to go and then come right back. I kind of want that shirt on their pledge page. It's badass.

mrewest Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 can we post^2 metal in here? I want to talk about Rosetta but I have nowhere to do so I say do it. I know there are a handful of Rosetta fans here. Maybe I should change the thread name to "Post-VC: Official post-genre discussion; now with vocals!" Some of these instrumental bands are including vocals more and more anyways (Caspian, Wess Meets West, etc) and this can open up the VC darlings Athletics to get heavy discussion here as well.

abovetheearth Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 In between growing out the mustache and sketching down Matt's Caspian ideas, I created this little banner that will represent my submissions. I have sub-genre stamps (to the left) that I'll put in place if one is more industrial or one is more traditional post-rocky. its going to get tweaked and redone a bit but i was wanting to test it tonight. thanks to some help on the image hyperlinking (T3 and deafening) it should work. just something new i guess. i just realized that that will totally void out the search function in this thread...meh, Gumbo never used it anyhow. edgedestroys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentin31 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 First post in this thread I think for me. I don't think these guys have ever been mentionned in here. Winter Dust is "post-rock/emo/wtf band from Italy". They have released a few months ago their latest EP called Thresholds talking about the "foggy morning light". Enjoy. https://winter-dust.bandcamp.com/album/thresholds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, I'm impressed. That's a super clean looking design. If this thing takes off, no doubt this thread will reach new levels of (deserved) sophistication. Maybe different colors for post-rock, post-metal, modern classical, ambient, etc.? A little tag line for which user suggested it? Just throwing out ideas. Maybe we can finally get going on that first page to-do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
