65daysofstatic - One Time For All Time

more post rock for you :D

this time with lots of electronic, drum and bass, and braindance influences, and a bit of apocalyptic themes too! this is actually 65days' second feature here on noise daily, so, uhh, neat :p

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F♯ A♯ ∞

the first album by gy!be, and still one of my favorites (they are kinda all my favorites though). my version is 3 tracks long, each one very very long for a single song, but yours might differ, as there are several. each track is divided into several movements with recurring themes and melodies, but the tempo throughout is rather slow, but shifting. the base of this album seems to be the end of the world, and in fact, wikipedia says it was one of the main inspirations for the film "28 days later". if you haven't heard this album yet, i highly recommend it (but seriously, where have you been if you haven't heard it?).

Ken Kennerson - Beautitude

one of the many side projects of a great group, "giraffes? giraffes!", ken kennerson ranges in styles throughout their albums. this one tends to be a strange mix of happy, upbeat experimental rock, and depressing melodic tunes. this whole album is something of an emotional trip, not to mention hella weird.

you can buy it for 5 dollars here, and listen to the entire album, free, here: http://giraffesgiraffes.bandcamp.com/album/beautitude

or, you can get it somewhere else for free, if you have no conscience :p

no video today, listen to any of the songs in the album at their bandcamp, i just mentioned it a second ago, sillybutt!

Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die

jazzy post-rock that you have (hopefully) already heard of... many consider it one of the most important albums in the foundation of post-rock, though it draws on other influences like electronic music and modern jazz (lots of improv!). this album is kind of like what my dreams sound like?

65daysofstatic - The Fall of Math

gosh, these guys kinda have a complex genre, for sure: apocalyptic instrumental post-rock post-idm/drumandbass math rock, with lots of electronic themes and samples and effects (for example, heavy use of granular synthesis on live drums!). they have a cult fanbase called "65kids", and not the creepy kind of cult with initiations and robes and sacrifice and stuff*. so, yeah, that is all i have to say about them i guess, ok.
