Hell yeah! I wonder why they're never talked about, their first album is an absolute masterpiece. Personally though, I think Meek Warrior is even better, that noise explosion in The Rider is my favorite

s/t trumps all imo, there's nothing like those sweet sweet field recordings to get you to feelstown

i was listening to love is simple as a came across this thread, a nice coincidence.

don't be afraid, you're already dead is a banger IMO

>>54001030
Ed Is A Portal is the true banger. Primal dance party

>>54001077
Oh man. I forgot how good Ed is a Portal is. Also their work with Angels of the Light is top notch. Raising the Sparks being one of my favorite tracks.

dude yes! also Moment

Been a fan of theirs for a long while. Saw them back in 2011, after ST II came out. They were great, got off the stage, had crowds doing different vocal harmonies, the works.

Favorite track is probably Future Myth, favorite album is their self-titled. Also a huge huge fan of their backing band work on Gira's Angels of Light project, and the Ak Ak demos which has a bunch of stuff stylistically similar to heir first album.

I've only heard one A/F album and it was this one. Did I fuck up? I didn't think it was bad at all, although RYM doesn't have the most favourable opinion on it.

Good individual tracks but not the best album from start to finish. I do love River a whole lot though. I'd go to their self-titled or Love is Simple.

>>54001654
not their best album but They Will Appear and Gravelly Mountains of the Moon are some of my favorites. Try Love is Simple, Self Titled, or even S/T II next, depending on what you liked about set 'em wild

Love is Simple is such a GOAT album. Meek Warrior is great to. Does anybody have any recs for bands like A/F or NMH, really fun folk rock with a subtle experimental side?

>>54002647
well angels of light, though i wouldn't necessarily classify them as fun, but they're sick. obviously the akron/family-backed stuff is cool, but the earlier stuff is amazing as well.

also Vetiver is a pretty neat band

>>54002647
check out Cherry Blossoms or Big Blood or Charlie McAlister for some more freak folk fun. Or further back Comus and Incredible String Band and Holy Modal Rounders. Also Microphones or AnCo if you don't already listen to em.

>>54002711
I used to have their split album, never really been able to get much into AoL though despite my love for White Light.

>>54002737
Cheers for the recs, I feel like I would enjoy AnCo if I didn't have such an issue with the OTT electronics.

>>54002776
but have you listened to How I Loved You or Everything Is Good Here/Please Come Home?

>>54002776
you should listen to something like Campfire Songs or Sung Tongs by AnCo, those are just acoustic instruments and weird textural-as-fuck field recordings. Then there's Prospect Hummer which is like Sung Tongs condensed into 4 songs and made perfect with Vashti Bunyan's voice

>OTT electronics
well you might enjoy their releases, Campfire Songs or Prospect Hummer if you want a more stripped down version of their sound
