You're a post-rock fan and you've never listened to THE band that gets ripped off the most?

I finally got around to listening to Sunbather and I really don't get the hype. To me it sounds like they could be any post-rocky screamo band, but they let a black metal vocalist wander into the recording studio. It's decent enough, but far from the genre-melding, groundbreaking masterpiece that it's been made out to be.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Yeah same here. I've been hearing people say it's one of the best albums of the year, so I tried listening to it. The post-rock stuff is alright, pretty standard. But then when the vocals come in, it just ruins any chance of me liking it. I can appreciate some good metal screaming and listen to some bands that have those kinds of vocals regularly, but the vocals here are just downright painful and annoying to listen to. So I'm not buying the hype either.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Why does every post-rock band get robbed? God Is An Astronaut got robbed when they came to the US years ago and that's why they haven't toured here since, and I think 65dos got some of their equipment stolen recently too.

Yeah, I don't think they're ever going to undergo a major change in sound, but it's good for what it is. Gets a little boring after a while.

What's weird is that the TTNG/ASIWYFA tour was supposed to play the Pike Room on Nov. 8. Maybe it got moved to the Crofoot Ballroom or Eagle Theater.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Speaking of this, the new Pelican album is also out there and I'm listening to it for the first time now. I feel like this is the same kind of thing for them. On this album, they feel like they're returning to their roots and it's glorious. It sounds like a cross between The Fire In Our Throats and City Of Echoes so far, which is a very good thing. Doesn't sound as much like What We All Come To Need, which I also appreciate because that was their weakest album by a wide margin. Their older sound was where they'd really shine, and this sounds like they're getting back to that.

The new Russian Circles is out there and it's heavy as hell. The best of the three albums of theirs I've heard (Geneva and Empros are the others. I really need to get around to Enter).

Rageaholic Monkey posted:That is such a killer lineup and I am so incredibly jealous of you and everyone else who's been getting to see this tour. Bonus points because it was in a tiny venue. I've seen Caspian in two separate tiny venues (and once in a bigger venue) and that ruled. A bunch of fans all crammed together in a small space thoroughly enjoying post-rock is a great concert experience. TWIABP are not a post-rock band. They're the best of the emo revival and a lot of the crowd was not ready for them. Great band though. I was also at the Cleveland show and it absolutely ruled. Every Caspian song is the same but they bring so much energy it didn't matter. Loved the diversity of the 65days setlist. Best concert I've been to in 2013.

I don't think the crowd disliked them, but they were certainly not expecting them. They do have a lot of post-rock elements but I think people were thrown by such a vocal-heavy band (especially one where the lead singer has a high, whiny voice and the others scream) opening for two instrumental acts.

I'm actually from Michigan but I go to school down here so I occasionally make it out to Cleveland or Columbus shows (I'm about an hour south of the former and 90 minutes north of the latter). This was my second time seeing TWIABP this year. The first was BLED Fest, which is a hardcore/emo/pop-punk/post-hardcore/whatever festival in a Michigan high school. They were playing a tiny side stage at 3 p.m. but their new album had just leaked and was already getting massive hype. The crowd was nuts.

My only previous experience with SMZ was their debut, which I wasn't big on, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed gently caress Off Get Free. Definitely my current album of the year.

Takes No Damage posted:Post-rock thread, recommend to me! I really like Te' and stoner-y stuff like Isis (Panopticon!) and Pelican, and the first few tracks off Polinski's Labyrinths are really neat. I also remember liking Those Who Tell the Truth from Ex in the Sky, but I haven't kept up with them since probably that album. But then I've tried Plains of the Purple Buffalo and a couple 65days albums and nothing's really held my attention, so I think I'm skewing more towards the 'rock' of post-rock rather than the drony/ambient side of things. What are some heavy rockers I can add to my stable? Seconding Russian Circles and the Red Sparowes (particularly their first album). You might also like If These Trees Could Talk.

They're math rock bands, not post-rock bands. But they play at things like ArcTanGent and are lumped into the same scene as stuff like And So I Watch You From Afar.

Cymbal Monkey posted:It's weird, math rock and post rock are almost diametrically opposed and yet get lumped in with each other. One is delay drenched washes of sound and the other is the most staccato thing in the universe. There are bands like ASIWYFA and 65daysofstatic who can make a good case for playing both. Post-rock and math rock are very broad terms. But they probably get lumped together just for being mostly instrumental and not very popular.

Bagpuss posted:Yes, go and see them. I'm using up one of my few nights out a year to see them Thursday. Their new album is up on soundcloud, Animal Ghosts is the stand out for for at the moment although I can see people being disappointed with it as it's another step away from their old sound even though there's lots of nice little call backs to even their earliest stuff. Oh poo poo, I had no idea they even had a new album.

OTOH even run-of-the-mill post-rock is usually way better live in my experience so you may have just moved away from it.
