Six Organs of Admittance
 

Touring with Joanna Newsome who I'm going to see next week so thought I would check them out. I think they're gonna be something to see live. Check them out, and if this gig is playing anywhere near you it might also be something to see. More placed in this forum for its 'alternative' status than its 'indie' so if you're looking for another Killers then don't bother, its not that kind of music. 'Words for two' is what I'm listening to just now and its pretty damn sweet. Sort of folky, which is why we need a folk forum!! (hint hint) ;)

Where are you seeing them? I'm seeing them tomorrow...... well I'm seeing Joanna Newsom tomorrow (along with Doves, British Sea Power, Gruff Rhys, Jens Lekman), but Six Organs of Admittance are there too, along with a few others.

Ben Chasny is a genious song writer.

Six Organs is beautiful. They put a kind of folk spin on post-rock, I think.

i like Six Organs alot. i have the sun awakens on 12" aswell as their split 7" with another amazing band Om.

not playing round here any time soon.. but i know a few guys who have put them on twice before, so it wont belong!

i saw this tour (Six Ogans opening for J. Newsom) in bristol. F**cking students wouldn't shut up so couldn't hear a thing of Six Organs, and was next to the bloody speakers even! J. Newsom's voice is like fingernails on a chalk board to me... ANNOYING!

seeing 6 organs again in a few months at ATP. what a line-up!! http://atpfestival.com/events/nightmare/line_up.php

haha I love her voice. It's so harsh. six organs rule though :)

Oh I'm glad I did a search on this lot. I am currently downloading an album and I have a few up for offer if anyone wants the links, I've heard good things about Chasny. Will possibly report back soon.

put a link up merkaba?

Six Organs of Admittance

I downloaded Dark Noontide, giving it a spin now.

It's a really good album, there are many subtleties and intricacies (sp?). I thought it was a bit calm for a bit long around songs 3 and 4 (I think that was them) but track 7, Khidr and the Fountain, is an amazing song, followed by another awesome track in A Thousand Birds. Chasny is a sweet guitarist/writer.

Basically, Six Organs are my favourite band just now.

I like almost everything they've released...some of the long drone trax are expendable but for the most part they're always awesome. School of the Flower is my favourite album by them.

What I really love, Chasny writes intimate songs, with can veer from intimate, strummed psych-folk stuff to full-on psychedelic freakouts. The music has a sense of mystery and transcendence, I can't explain it. When I listen to them, I just want to sit alone in a wooden cabin in a misty forest, and get high.

Comets on Fire are great too.

How have I missed this band for all these year?

seeing him Sunday night. can't wait

You're lucky..

I missed Six Organs becuz they were playing the same nite as Sonic Youth on their Daydream Nation tour...I later found out that Ben et all had started the show later to allow the Sonic Youth fans time to get to the venue after SY finished, where they got in for half price if they showed their Sonic ticket (same promoters or sumthin). I was gutted to miss it, especially as I also found out that among others, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Mark Ibold went along to catch the end of Ben's set. ****SAKE I COULDA MET THEM ALL!

Six Organs gives me hope for the future of music. Chasny's a genius

I kinda like the new album,

but I really think the production seems to be lacking.

Isn't the album just too quiet (even during "loud" parts) ?
