STATE FAULTS - RESONATE/DESPERATE (2013)

YO.

MOGWAI - RAVE TAPES (2014)

CHRISTMAS PRESENT :D

LIKES LIONS - FIRST THE HEAD, LATER THE TALE (2012)

Have you ever heard a MATH POP record?

AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR - ALL HAIL BRIGHT FUTURES (2013)
label: sargent house

They are the guitarest post rock band. I love them and they made a new record, and I want to share them so they will be enjoyed some more.

HERE WE GO

I want to place here a link to their best album so far, Gangs (2011, Ritcher Collective).

I love dem boots.

MASSIMO VOLUME - ASPETTANDO I BARBARI (2013)

Simply the best post rock from Italy. Peculiar guitarwork with spoken poetry. Unique and priceless.

TITLE MEANS "WAITING FOR THE BARBARS"

CRASH OF RHINOS - KNOTS (2013)

Learning to be Mineral is not so easy as it might seem.

Two guitars, two basses, some drums and many voices. And some feelings too.

MORE "SIMPLE" THAN DISTAL I HAVE TO SAY

MARK McGUIRE - LIVING WITH YOURSELF (2010)

Do you know the drone band Emeralds? Well they are no more. When I found it out I searched for everything that could supply them, and I found this album by Emerald's guitarist, mark.

I was expecting drone/noise but I found an astounding album. It's just guitar but God how masterfully he uses the effects, it's mindblowing. Brothers is almost unacceptably good. A close reference may be Roy Montgomery  though.

"MARK McGUIRE ON TOP OF A RLLY TALL MOUNTAIN JUST CHILLIN'N SHREDDING W THUNDER COMIN OUT OF HIS GUITAR IN SUPER SLO-MO" (last fm.)

I am sorry for the gap in the blog's activity, but I have to thank my exams for that. I put 2 posts to be (hopefully) forgiven.

MATT ELLIOTT - DRINKING SONGS (2005)

Overdramatic folkish alcohol. 

After The Third Eye Foundation Bristol's most desperate man tries to convey what he feels on a record.

Painful and dry.

HERE'S THE SPLEEN

ELLERY JAMES ROBERTS - KEROU'S LAMENT (2013)

After Wu Lyf split (does even somebody remember them?) the singer -he has a fantastic voice, believe me- begun writing tunes. This is his first one. I'm in serious trouble tagging this one, really.

IT'S A SINGLE SONG SO GIVE IT A TRY.

If you appreciate this it's better for you to know
you can obtain Wu Lyf's first and only album on this blog.
Strongly recommended.

NEUROSIS - THE EYE OF EVERY STORM (2004)

Just one of the most fucking heavy/athmospheric stuff ever released. Sing Low.

Neurosis. Keep them in mind.

GODLIKE MUSIC

IAMTHEMORNING - ~ (2012)

Dalla Russia un ottimo disco folk-neoclassico-progrock-musica da camera. Eleganza e una bellissima donna che canta.

Some Folkish neo classical prog from Russia.

Pop influences are also present and the listening is fresh, both demanding and immediatly rewarding.

THE FUCKING SEA

THE APPLESEED CAST - ILLUMINATION RITUAL (2013)

IT'SFUCKINGOUT. OH MY...

CITY OF CATERPILLAR - CITY OF CATERPILLAR (2002)

The first post screamo record ever. The best so far maybe. Several years before the second.

Massive build ups, god-like musicianship.

Their only album. Cult.

NOT MY USUAL EMERGING BAND. A TRUE PIECE OF HISTORY TODAY. VINYL QUOTED TO €450+ IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

Белые Флаги Зажигайте Медленно (SET THE WHITE FLAGS ON FIRE SLOWLY) - Даже Если Пролетариат Возьмет Власть В Свои Руки, Весна Все Равно Достанется Нам, А Цели Войны Останутся Целями Войны (EVEN IF THE PROLETARIAT TAKES THE POWER INTO ITS OWN HANDS, THE SPRING WILL BE LEFT FOR US, AND THE AIMS OF WAR WILL REMAIN THE AIMS OF WAR) (2008)

Abbiate paura: non metto la tracklist. La lascio al vostro masochismo.

Resta il fatto che è post rock da ricordarselo bene.

Massive instrumental post rock from snowy Russia. It will fit perfectly in your cold bedroom in the early hours of the morning.

ANOTHER ONE YOU WILL SURELY MISS IF YOU DON'T GRAB IT NOW.

CULT OF LUNA - VERTIKAL (2013)

Arrivano ogni 5-6 anni, puntuali come una cometa. Questa volta sono passati davvero vicino alla Terra e un pò della polvere della loro scia ci è caduta sul capo. In quanti stavamo guardando il cielo, mentre loro si bruciavano in luce?

I often think Umea, Sweden, is a magic city. It put out Cult of Luna, Refused, Meshuggah.

At today, COL is probably the best around between the three.

As Neurosis seem to fade, someone else seems emerging...

PREPARE FOR THE BEHEMOTH

AIDAN - THE RELATION BETWEEN BRAIN AND BEHAVIOUR (2013)

GREAT POST SLUGDE/NOISE



CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE - DECOMPOSITIONS VOL. 1 (2012)

Lo so, mi sono fatto aspettare più di un mese. Comunque: è il nuovo album. 8 anni di lavoro. Questo post non è per chi non li conosce: non li capireste. Ma se conoscete As The Roots Undo.. bè...

Finally they're back. I still have to hear it, but if you listened to As The Roots Undo,

well,

you should understand how euphoric I am...

 BANDCAMP (SCUSATE LA MIA PAUSA RIFLESSIONE/SORRY FOR THE HIATUS)

Gente cazzuta...

CALLISTO - NOIR (2006)

 

Post ste minchie con contaminazioni doom/prog/ambient e strumenti improbabili.

Ah, pezzi ispiratissimi.

Finnish post/prog/ambient/doom/metal band which can't wait to show you its capabilities.

Of songwriting, of singing, of recording...

...AND SO MUCH MORE... 

 

KING CRIMSON - STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK (1974)

 

Album non molto conosciuto nella discografia dei King Crimson, ma che è di una qualità eccelsa in ogni suo solco. Post Rock, nel 74.

In 1974, post rockers existed, and their name was KC.

Superb line-up, superb tracks, superb album.

One of those you are pleased to learn by heart.

HALF JAM; HALF STUDIO; A LOAD OF PLEASURE 

just the fucking greatest shit.

 

RINOA - RINOA EP (2008)

Una delle cose più drammatiche che passeranno per le vostre orecchie. Pezzi di cui avvertirete la fatica dell'incedere, e sarà empatica sofferenza.

Tragedy-like pieces that do their duty very well. You WILL feel it all.

All you can handle to hug.

ABOVE THE OCEANS

link should work. if not, drop a comment I'll re-up it

GATES - THE SUN WILL RISE AND LEAD ME HOME (2011)

Pop songs inzuppate in fantastiche atmosfere post. Musica per cuori in subbuglio.

They may at first seem anonymous, but at the 2nd listen you get they're great.

Post pop you won't ever have the chance to get.

THIS HEALS CANCER
