Sick band, my favorite songs are probaly A Pitcher Of Summer, The Manifold Curiosity & Wayfarer. Choirs Of The Eyes is my favorite album. Their lyrics, are sooo fucking pretty, as well as pretty much everything else. Opinionz?

You showed me this band yesterday..they're pretty cool...they have some awesome ambience.

I've actually wanted to listen to this band for a long time
And never have








Thank you Ethan.
:hphones:

Yay an album. SWEET.

I heard a song of theirs yesterday too and I am interested in more. Will get back with some sort of opinion soon!

one of my favourite bands.

waiting for Dousing Anemone, and the Split with Bloody Panda to arrive... both on 12" vinyl. wooo.

Toby Driver's solo work is worth checking out too, as are Maudlin of the Well.

check out Time of Orchids too people...

I heard a song from the split and it's insane. Soooooo good. I saw this band last year and they put on the most amazing show. I'm going to see mia (the violin) player play a show with gregor samsa on the 15th.

damn you damn you... :P

i know about the split... i really cant wait for it to arrive, the artwork and packaging look stunning aswell. Have you heard Bloody Panda? i thought no band could be equal in a split with Kayo Dot... but they actually manage it.

Why did I never check this band out before?

Because post-rock is just tedious?

OT: Tried to play 2 songs, after about 3-4 minutes got tired of waiting for the song to actually start...yawn! :|

Some people really get into the ambience of Post Rock and I for one do not find it tedious at all. It's all about switching off and being comfortable with the music but some definitely do find it tedious.

The new album is simply superb.

definitely the next confucius

In wasn't sure where to put this thread, as they are a mixture of different genres. I like to think of them as avant garde though, either way they're a very good modern group.

Here's a song from their latest album that I really enjoy:

Symmetrical Arizona

And for fun:

Gemini Becoming the Tripod

Currently I have three of their albums including Blue Lambency Downward, Choirs of the Eye and Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue.
Your opinions on them? Have you heard of them? etc.

yeah I've heard of them. But then again I've heard of alot of things...

Have you actually heard any of their songs besides the ones I posted links to?

Search is your friend ;)

Yeah, I like them. All three albums they've released have been superb. Some didn't like their last release, "Blue Lambency Downward", but it's definitely one of my favorite releases this year. Weird jazzy avant-garde experimental rock?! Definitely my thing!
