Track 3 in particular, but the whole thing is unbelievably beautiful.

This is pretty good, album name is a bit odd though. A few snatches here and there even sound like Hammock.

How are Yndi Halda live? I've got a ticket tonight for Jeff Rosenstock, but that was before YH was announced. They're playing right across the road from each other though, so I might try half and half.

Also, y'all heard this new Alcest yet? A buddy of mine just told me they were coming out with a new album this year, which I didn't even know about. It's goooooooooood.

Supporting Mono, too.

I'm on a four hour bus journey. A good day for Russian Circles and 65dos to release new albums.

Vessels.

Edit: early stuff is more towards standard post rock and they move in a more electronic direction as time goes on.

Blanck Mass is half of gently caress Buttons.

Bacardi stage 8pm. "World premier forthcoming album show". Awesome.

The whole experience was kinda helped by the fact that they were playing with the sun setting over Barcelona behind them, but the new Mogwai album sounds loving great.

They just played it in its entirety, nothing else, and it worked really well as a full set.

Stream for sleepmakeswaves' new album which is out tomorrow. 

Only had a couple of listens and really like it so far but some parts do feel a bit by the numbers. Highlights at the moment are The Edge of Everything and Into the Arms of Ghosts. 

Rageaholic Monkey posted:

I'm like halfway through this and it's pretty boring, but the sad part is that it's still more interesting than like 95% of other albums I've heard so far this year.

Not having a go, just found it funny, 'cos I was sure it was indeed discussed in here at release.

A big post rock festival is a tough proposition because people tend to fall asleep after the first three bands

Talking of which:

Meh, I dunno. Not nearly as good as previous years yet IMO. Still loads more to come though.

Robert Smith is curating the Meltdown series of shows in the Southbank Centre in London this June and it looks like he quite likes his post rock. Saw Lift To Experience there last year and it was fantastic.

God is an Astronaut is one of the few big post rock bands I've barely touched really, even though I loved them when I saw them last year. What's the definitive album?

Woa, he's got one of those guitars that's like, double guitars.

What's that blue-light thing he's using on the bass part?

Makes me think... with those repeater pedals and some electronic drums, you could feasibly do something like this by yourself. :aaa:

I mean, play some drums for a minute, repeat them. Get on the bass, repeat it. Repeat a guitar riff. Put another bass layer in. Then another guitar layer. Then some extra cymbals, then more guitar etc. etc. Eventually you'd have this insane cacophony similar to what most post-rock sounds like at full-tilt.

Theo used to (not sure if he's still around) get all the guitar parts up and running then sit down and have a bash on the drums, that was pretty cool.

Talking of Russian Circles, anyone survive Friday at Arctangent?

It's expanded to be a lot more than 'that post rock festival' now but the post rock this year was still crazy good. Really strong sets by 65 DOS and Caspian in particular I thought, and the surprise ASOIWYFA debut album set was obviously great just because of the mutual love between the band and the Arctangent crowd. DJ Perro were infectiously joyous as well, the Mexican ASOIWYFA in many ways.

Battles still hold up as a two piece; Meshuggah not really my thing (light show was good though).

I've seen them twice and both times were excessively weird shows. Awesome twinkly post rock is divine but post rock crowds are the laziest sleepiest most low energy crowds in existence. You have like 1,200 people squished shoulder to shoulder in the Starland Ballroom like it's a fuckin' brostep show but no one is moving, no dancing, just a giant mass of people listlessly floating to heavy noise and vibing like a kelp bed at the bottom of the ocean.

Genuinely curious, what kind of whole-crowd dancing would make a post rock show more enjoyable to you?

I totally get what you mean, most shows are just a few hundred people with beards swaying but, like, what's the alternative? poo poo like everybody sit down and jump up at the drop in Fear Satan? Actually, that would be pretty hilarious.

It does feel like post-rock bands get more poo poo for being derivative than other genres. Maybe because the genre was all about experimentation at the start and for the vast majority of post-rock bands now, it's very clear who they're imitating.

But gently caress it, I'll enjoy a good EITS clone the same way I'll enjoy a good Motorhead clone.

New ASIWAYFA out today. Which I think is a proper album but is also meant to soundtrack a video or something? It's a bit of a departure anyway and also features spoken word bits by Emma Ruth Rundle and him off of Clutch.
