/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

This is my favorite post-punk album of the last few years.

>>55236923
I really liked this too

>>55236881

A couple weeks ago someone posted a lot of lesser-known and amazing post-punk releases in this sharethread:

http://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/mu/thread/S54636289#p54637796

I especially recommend Dome, Missing Foundation, and Leven Signs (which is more like prog-new wave, but whatever)

Metabolist basically sounded like a bastard child between This Heat and Magma, and their music is as good as that sounds. They need more recognition

>>55237033
yeah I recommend those albums too

>>55237033
>Talking Cat Bob

Anyone know some good post-punk bands from the Pacific Northwest?

>>55237512
Urban Verbs
Egoslavia
Wipers
also Smegma but they're more on the industrial side
>>55237403
rude

mathaverskan II has some post-punk influences and is a good album.

I want to get into Nick Cave where do I start

>>55237788
The Birthday Party

>>55236923
almost done with this album, good shit, thanks
>>55237033
starting with missing foundation, but this thread. i know what i'll be doing tonight.

>>55237697
Thanks!!

>>55237788
tender prey is a good place to start
also i found makthaverskan II pretty disappointing after having heard asleep a few times

>>55237854
Missing Foundation are great, their music is so primitive and brutish it could start a riot. They sound like Whitehouse doing post-punk

>>55237033

Whatever it is, I'm not clicking. Unless it's her in a porn video

>Your local scene
Post-punk is still a thing?

>>55237966
definitely true. also thanks for putting the good shit out there

>>55237033
anyone have any of this in FLAC? digital stimulation especially i've been looking for for a while

>>55237967
>being this new

Is there anything else with these kind of guitar sounds (especially the weird, noisy, arrhythmic shit on "At Home He's a Tourist")? Something a little more interesting/more experimental, maybe?

>>55238645
i wish m8
never heard much quite like it though

>>55238645
Liars' debut? I can't really think of anything. To be honest, Gang Of Four kind of perfected their funky dance-punk style. I don't think any experimentation is necessary.

>pioneers/old shit
The Cure's early stuff is still great post-punk
>experimental bands doing (relatively?) new shit with the genre
Not sure, that's why I'm here to find out
>your local scene
Nashville has a small gothic scene I think
>favorite album/group
Wire is great, maybe Bauhas

>>55236881
>favorite album/group
Favorite album would be Metal Box, favorite group would be Public Image Ltd.

>>55239096
Flowers of Romance finally clicked with me recently and now I'm thinking it might actually be their best album. It has the same dark, crushingly minimal aesthetic as early Swans, except better.

>>55239172
it took me a while to become accustomed to an album so centered around drumming, but its slowly grown on me

>>55239172
Yeah, I agree, though Metal Box is close. Flowers of Romance just has a great tribal feel to it, mostly thanks to the percussion and Lyndon's vocals sound like cultist preaching. Plus the musique concrete elements also make it stand out

>>55239049
I don't really like Liars but I've never heard their debut album. I guess I'll check it out.

I've always found Entertainment! to be kind of underwhelming. It has some really great songs like "Damaged Goods" and "At Home He's a Tourist", but for some reason I find the album as a whole pretty tedious. It's annoying because it sounds like they have so much potential that they just fall short of achieving. I feel a similar way about The Pop Group.

What do you guys think of Patti Smith?

>>55236923
I'm looking for more albums like this or Holograms - Forever

>>55239262
>Lyndon
You mean Lydon.

>>55239267
Great protopunk/punk rock artist.

>>55239263
maybe A Certain Ratio - To Each, they take the funk influence to another level
Though I don't really see how the Pop Group don't achieve their full potential. They accomplished something spectacular with their debut, it's a very unique blend of dub, funk, no wave and free jazz.
>>55239385
yeah, I haven't slept in a while

What would you reccommend to someone who is new to this genre and likes joy division?

>>55239430
I have no idea why but whenever I listen to Entertainment! or Y I just get the feeling that it's missing something. I can't put my finger on exactly why it is but they just fail to really resonate with me. They're both 6-7/10 imo.

A Certain Ratio has been on my backlog for a while. I guess now I have to listen to them.

>>55239685
Television, Bauhaus, The Chameleons, The Fall, The Sound, Magazine
>>55239731
I get you, I mean Entertainment really doesn't experiment that much and maybe the tracks feel to same-y to you. Y on the other hand is too cluttered and if you end up liking a track on it chances are the next one isn't going to sound similar

Pere Ubu is the best post-punk band.
The Modern Dance is the best post-punk album.
"Laughing" is the best post-punk song.

>>55239685

Also, the durrutti column and early U2

>>55239685
Bauhaus, Gang Of Four, The Sisters Of Mercy, Public Image Ltd., The Fall, Killing Joke, Iggy Pop's first few solo albums

pure gold

Anyone got recommendations for "dreamy" post-punk that almost steps into New Wave? I'm talking stuff like Sad Lovers & Giants, The Wake, The Chameleons, Lowlife, etc.

Nothing has matched this album since it's release

>>55240856
cocteau twins debut maybe

>your local scene

I live in Stockholm in Sweden and there's been talks about a scene starting up for years but it hasn't really happened. The only really interesting thing to have come out of here is Holograms and a few other bands

>>55240900

I've already listened to everything by them, but thanks, that does fit the bill

>>55236881
Any really recent bands that are actually doing something new and interesting? Almost every modern "post punk" band I've heard just sounds like a shit version of joy division. Where's the 21st century version of early devo for instance?

>>55240934
>>55240868

>>55240856
Breathless' debut
Abecedarians - Eureka
Chimera - Lughnasa
The Church - Priest = Aura
For Against - December
Five or Six - A Thriving and Happy Land
Chorchazade - Made to Be devoured
>>55240934
New War and Snowman I guess

>>55240868
Nah, New Brigade is pretty amateurish and barebones, and I say that as someone who owns a copy of it and loves it. The songwriting is simplistic as fuck, the instrumentalists can barely keep time with each other and Elias has the voice and lyrical chops of a 16-year old. It sounds like a decent album made by an unambitious local band, which is what Iceage was at the time anyway.
You're Nothing is far more accomplished and self-assured as far as straight-up punk Iceage goes and Plowing Into The Field Of Love makes both of those albums seem like a joke by comparison.

>>55240934

>>55240953
Thanks guys I'll check em out

>>55240934
Total Control are pretty good. Flesh World too, though they're leaning pretty intensely on 80s doom and gloom shit.

>>55241089
Sexdrome is straight-up hardcore punk. Great band though, a shame they broke up.
This is also a pretty good one-man project from the same scene that Iceage, Lower and Sexdrome are.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODRevm0acOQ

Same dude used to do weird noisy punk black metal under the name Jackman(and now plays drums in Communions, which I don't like).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbK5LtMWSCQ

>>55241030

It sounds simple on the surface but the arrangements are actually quite advanced(most likely purely on accident, i don't think they realized it themselves. Most songs on the album have riffs that span over 10 bars, choppy and disorienting rythms yet still somehow kept coherent, that coupled with their chaotic playing style that sounds like it's about to collapse at any second yet always comes together makes this album far from simple.

I'd still say that FOL is the better album though, just don't agree with it being simple

>>55241170
And fuck, I forgot Diat, although they only have a couple of singles out at this point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awWqSzScX8A

Can't wait for their LP.

>>55241170

>a shame they broke up

I was at their last show, i have never in my life seen or heard something that intense. I am convinced Loke is a demon taken human form

>>5523864
delta 5, but they have female vocals the music is almost identical

>>55241207
I guess you're right about the playing style but I was talking more about the general songwriting and structuring of the tracks than anything else, there's not a lot to digest there as far as the general detail and refinement goes. You get pretty much everything you can get out of the album within the first handful of listens, which I can't say about You're Nothing or Plowing.

>>55241255
Fuck, I would have loved to have witnessed that.
He looks out of his mind in every live video I've seen of them.

>>55237967
best b8, i'm mad

>>55241550

He fucking jumped into the crowd and beat some guy who was harassing a bunch of people into a bloody pulp during Count Me In as well, set was about 15 minutes and absolutely devastating to witness
