This Heat
Surprised there isn't a thread on these guys yet. This Heat was an experimental post punk band that released two albums, s/t and Deceit. The s/t is far less of a punk album and more of an experimental industrial album that goes in some strange directions. Deceit is a little more conventional, but it is incredibly unique and is one of my favourite post punk albums.
The group just announced a reissue of their two albums as well as the Health and Efficiency EP on vinyl, which I'm pretty excited for. What're your thoughts on the group? |
I absolutely love Deceit and the self-titled to a lesser degree. Deceit is one of my five star albums. Glad to hear there's a reissue and if that includes vinyl I may have to try and pick it up.

I ****ing love Deceit to bits. I'm surprised there wasn't already a thread on This Heat. Incredible album, great band. Haven't listened to their s/t yet, actually, but I guess I know what I'm doing today.

Both are superb.

Hmm, no previous thread.. but I'm sure I've seen them mentioned here about 237 times before. Obviously a highly influential band, important to many sounds. Sebadoh's early stuff reminds me of their s/t album

Deceit is beautiful. One of my favourite records, and must've been a mind**** when it came out especially.
The self-titled though goes beyond that - it's visionary stuff. There's a song on there that sounds like the prototype for the Autechre/Aphex type music of the early 90s - amazing given when it came out. The whole record is all over the place. I prefer Deceit marginally, but their self-titled is like nothing else - truly alien for its time. I liken them to early Cabaret Voltaire, but better. What a band. Wish they'd released more records, but the reissues are gonna rule. |

Really unique and beautiful music. Still getting goosebumps when listening to them, although it's been almost ten years now. Although the other band members sadly have done only a handful of other albums, Charles Hayward is pretty active to this day. |
Was checking out Danny Brown because he is featured on the upcoming BadBadNotGood album mentioned in the thread about BBNG.
Stumbled across this. Funny how everything is connected. |
I both hate and love when I learn about a new band that is really good like these guys. It's great to get to experience them but I always wonder how I could be kept in the dark about a group like this. Enjoying working through the catalog, great stuff, thanks Frownland!
