musical taste

favorite bands

Gene - the rater of either 3.0 or 4.0,

Big|Brave Vital
Maybe the most vital and vibrant album from Big|Brave, the band with the most annoying name to try and look up on Sput.
4.0

The Body and Big|Brave Leaving None But Small Birds
'Small Birds' sees the two bands come together to make something not entirely alike either catalogue, but not at all surprising for any of the involved parties. Scuzzy, fuzzy doom-folk somewhere halfway between Swans and Have a Nice Life is actually a treat to listen to a lot of the times.

The Body I’ve Seen All I Need To See
Is this The Body at their droniest? It sure is the album that The Body haters can unite in saying where the unpleasant vocals have been replaced by a different unpleasant sound. Nice foray into drone, even if I fail to see what exactly do The Body bring to either the genre or their catalogue with this.

Dead to Me Little Brother
A random pop-punk EP from 2008 has no right to be this fire.

Not really post-rock, more like instrumental post-ambient, but indeed the atmosphere here is as thick as a sponge cake and oh so soothing. I feel like I am gently being carried away into the sleep realm, from which I may never return. Euthanasia music, if ever there was one.

Hoplites Π​α​ρ​α​μ​α​ι​ν​ο​μ​έ​ν​η
The album can get quite ferocious and the sax sure does sound great, but everything kinda lingers on relentlessly only on occasion remembering "oh right, we're doing a prog thing" or "oh right, we're doing an avant-garde thing" making the whole thing exhausting and unfocused. Still, when it bangs, it bangs.

Crusty and slimey old screamoviolence album that packs a lot of energy into just a few short minutes. Nasty stuff.

  • FurtherDown Yeah could be. I just listened to Ida's new single and it brings quite interesting electronic twist to the table. Great track!

  • FurtherDown Hey, massive thanks for the promo work of our new Manon Meurt record here on sput! What will be next czechdream record to make a splash here? I'm expecting big things from Ida the Young debut which will come out this year hopefully. And last week I saw Favorite Obsession who are also fresh out of the studio. Any others? :)
