I didn't like the overall album much, but Pendulum Man is really something: https://youtu.be/6_J9MLDrC3M?si=aup6mbLG4lR7QuCU
>>127843595For me, it's A Street Scene.
Absent Friend might be my favorite song of all time
>>127843619First half is pretty good but I didn't care for the second one. That happens a lot with most tracks on the album. Should I listen to their other one?
So is this the boards favorite album now? I’ve seen many different anons raving about it. I really like it too.
>>127843665That's one of the best for sure, but Pendulum Man was the one that made me realize these guys were special. I'll keep listening around the week but I can't buy it entirely as a whole yet.>>127843681I understand the appeal, however late Talk Talk is simple better in every way. Doesn't their drummer play on their next album?
>>127843677Codename: Dustsucker is really good too and more accessible, but if you found that the songs meandered around too much on Hex then they do even moreso on Dustsucker. I will say that Shapeshifting is probably their best song.
listen to their early EPs / Independency / Scumalso listen to .O.Rang
>>127843595The vocals are awful, so of course the instrumental track is the best one
>>127844483>The vocals are awfulFiltered
An all-time favorite. Eyes & Smiles and Absent Friend are peak, but no song on Hex is below a 9/10.
>>127844880>no song on Hex is below a 9/10.Fingerspit
>>127843595For me, it's Big Shot
Eyes and Smiles is the best track, but then again I clearly picked the most intense and climactic track so you can tell what kind of listnener I am. >>127843681its always been mucore>>127843720Talk Talks post rock is definitely superior
>>127843595Can someone give me some reccs for albums/artists that sound like Hex and Laughing Stock? I find it hard to believe that these are the only two artists who made music that fills this niche.
>>127845093The For Carnation
>>127845368Great album.
>>127845368How is today the first time I've ever heard this name?
>>127846681Never wondered what the Slint guys did other than Slint?
>>127846744Guess not. My mistake.
>>127843595Amazing album, Post-Rock like this is impossible to find. This is what the industrial jungle sounds like not "Dark Jazz" or other fake shit. Nothing but Urban Soundscapes
>>12784359510/10 album
>>127844942Omg that song is so cringe that made me start laughing. Everything else is either great or fine but that one track is like trying to make Taphead and failing miserably.
>>127845368shits boring
>>127846961How do we end up in the timeline where post-rock is synonymous with crescendocore instead of albums that sound like Bark Psychosis and Talk Talk?
>>127844942>>127847873I really like the anti-chorus on that one. It builds itself up and instead of "paying off" it just collapses.>>127847890Lift Yr Skinny Fists happened. Great album, not so much the ripple effect.
>>127847896GYBE! haven't aged as well as Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis. Anyway I find the latter to be better live, even if I still find Hex special, the production is a bit too early 90s for me.
Highly recommend checking out this album if you like Hex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEJe6cJ10kw

>>127848062Cold House is really good too.
Samefag thread
>>127848142ntaI was gonna post Cold House as my favorite of the "Talk Talk" post rock
The Loom is such a comfy opener.
