Has anyone heard of If That Is What Is Being Thought, Liberated Sound Talks The Depth Of "Musical" World. by te'? They're a pretty rocking post-rock band from Japan. They have a different sound from mono though, in case you're wondering. It's more of a God is an Astronaut meets Mogwai meets Slint kinda sound. A review from smother.net: quote:A shoegazing instrumental band that has more pop hooks than say Explosions In the Sky but is just as much a complex firebrand. Raw emotions leak out of each song as if it’s an opus praising the gods. Japanese instrumental rockers Te have more in common with the likes of Slint than you’d think with their drifting guitar overtures and massive percussion sound. Find a way to grab a hold of this band, you won’t regret it. here is their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/tejapanese

Lord of Sword posted:Té are one of my favourite bands, I've got all their albums/EPs and their live DVD, which is well worth getting if you're into their music. Kotoba... and Sore wa... are my favourite releases, just because they're a lot more consistent than the first album, but also have more variety. Some of their videos are also up on youtube, most linked to each other in the related videos box: So I managed to track down Sore wa.. and listened to it, and it's so much better than Liberated Sound. I agree with what you said about it being more consistent. The drums are definitely key to the band's unique sound. However I can't seem to find Kotoba, is it an EP?

There's a lot bands to recommend, seeing that you have a huge list. Maybe you can try post-rock from regions like Asia or something? Te' (japanase math rock band, recommended in this thread before) toe (japanese math rock, very melodic) Envy (more to screamo, but has it moments) Miaou (pretty soothing post-rock, mathy at times) wangwen (chinese band) Maybeshewill (uk post-rock band, slightly similar to 65dos) Carefully (jazzy post-rock band from Texas) EF (has released two solid albums) The Evpatoria Report (swiss post-rock band with strings, a little GY!BE vibe) Followed by Ghosts (their album 'the entire city was silent' has some good moments) Eaten By Tigers (has a bit of vocals) Jakob (NZ band, has some influential stuff) The Mercury Program (groovy post-rock, listen to their EP All the Suits Began to Fall Off) The Samuel Jackson Five (can't be recommended enough) and so I watch you from afar - scottish post-rock, full of energetic bursts Beware of Safety - three guitars + drums, really good stuff As the Poets Affirm - I really like their song, 'Rocket Through'

NEW MONO ALBUM ANNOUNCED Just found this on Mono's myspace. March 04 2009 HYMN TO THE IMMORTAL WIND http://www.mono-jpn.com/hymn_flash/index.html http://www.mono-jpn.com/sound/Ashes.mp3 --new track "Ashes in the Snow" quote:Just in time for their 10-year anniversary, MONO return with their fifth studio album, the absolutely massive Hymn To The Immortal Wind. I know this was a long time coming, but they've finally announced their album release! I went to their last show in KL. It was a small, cold and dark room with a couple hundred or so of us and it was truly one of the best gigs in my life. They played two new songs, one of which I think was Ashes in the Snow, which really is the most intense song I've ever heard from them. They're one of the bands that you absolutely have to hear live to fully appreciate the breadth of their music. Beleg fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Jan 2, 2009 |
