This is my first exposure to Vaura but I'm digging it.

Album Rating: 4.0

Their atmosphere is so damn engaging.

so did their previous albums have more a black metal feel at times? i've never listened to this bunch before

Sort-of, but the Missing was much closer to post-punk imo

Album Rating: 4.0

@Animals: it’s most similar to the first half of Coffins, but not as jazzy or abstract as any Kayo Dot

@TheSpirit: there’s a little black metal but they’re basically avant-grade metal with post-rock/shoegazing, and this album is full on post-punk and darkwave that’s a little experimental

Just peeked The Missing on youtube and yeah ppl are saying it's like The Smiths meets prog-rock/goth.

Album Rating: 4.0

That's not a bad description though I hear more of the sprawling goth soundscapes of 1980s The Cure in Vaura than The Smiths.

Same bro. Just got a new place so getting that together. Same old shit other than that ya know lol.

I'm guessing this is like a softer version of Voices' latest album which also went more in the goth-y chorusy direction?

its definitely boring for driver standards

Yeah not feeling this on first listen tbh

I should check this

Common guys. How much more activity will it take to have a 2019 chart? I miss going there and pick stuff that pop in out of nowhere!

Album Rating: 3.5

another enjoyable release and i can see this growing.

The vocals here just absolutely ruin this for me. Like the soundscape can be really interesting (if a bit lethargic at times), but the vocals are just so adamantly 80s that it that it almost doesn't blend at all
