crying: beyond the fleeting gales

Great clip. Santos seems a little unsure in the first song but ends up delivering better than I've seen in any other clips. Guitarist and drummer are dead-on. How long has this drummer been with them? I don't think she was on the album? (And, apparently, they could explain Dream Theatre to us! Or at least the guitarist could.)

Yeah Elaiza kills it, really annoyed i missed them in the UK. Think the she just covered this tour for the usual drummer who plays in LVL UP as well.

Glad to see the guitarist is a fan of The Go! Team.

my dream is that someday they become big enough that i'm able to do 'wool in the wash' at karaoke

Just hearing them for the first time today but heard the name from friends...awesome stuff!

i love this record

same

I remember when Barry Johnson of Joyce Manor raved about Crying, pre-BTFG. I checked out their bandcamp and all I heard was this 8-bit emo band. I was so confused. But this new album is perfect, definitely one of my favorites of 2016. Get Olde Second Wind is still pretty unlistenable tho

Ha, I even like some of that one OK. Beyond the Fleeting Gales was a major step up, though.

Played "Revive" for my co-worker and he said it was "refreshing" and seemed notably jazzed

hey, this is pretty good

I only listened to this after the year-end poll, and I liked it but I had a hard time placing it. That's not a bad thing, I just wasn't really sure what I was hearing. Watching the live clip is helpful, because it made me think of Marnie Stern. These guys are sort of similarly adrift, indie prog or whatever you want to call them. She's talented. Will need to explore more.

(And now I see Marnie is referenced in the OP, so, yeah.)

"i hear perfume" would be a good way to describe this band even if I didn't understand it as a reference & interpreted the words literally

yesterday, this was pretty good. today, three listens later, it's the best album i've heard in ages. love everything about it (except the merely good bass playing and the softer "indie" vocals, maybe). memorable songs, hilarious range of winks & influences, killer keys & guitar, powerhouse vocalist, and zero flab. last four tracks are especially great.

yah the closing run is incredible

they could do with a full-time bassist though maybe yeah, especially live

there's a bit of Trans Am in there too

i love this record and i'm glad everyone else does

there's a bit of Trans Am in there too

yeah, spiritual headbands, definitely

and here they are covering "run away with me"

that doesn't quite come together but i'm not sure if it's just the guitar being way too low in the mix

I dreamed about this album last night

the beat shift in the chorus is weird but imo that cover is great

av club commenters extremely unimpressed

yeah not sure what they were going for on the feel change in the chorus--felt like one or more of the band members didn't understand what was going on.

love the verses tho

I wish I had a little more time
The current moves me forth, but I still look behind

still the best album of the last 5 years

their new drummer is f---ing amazing

one of the best albums of the decade, if anything i underrated it at the time

i still listen to this shit all the time. wonder if there's anything new on the horizon.

love watching videos of them too, just for the big dude calmly shredding on an ernie ball music man

i would really like another crying album

that glass beach album tt mentioned in the emo thread yesterday might scratch the itch

lol was what brought me here!

whatever happened to Crying?

I'm ready to put out an album every year, but you must promise to put me on more than zero playlists.

A few tweets down, the extremely unsurprising news that they are a huge Cardiacs fan :)

Nice!

release album u fucks

just came to post about this ^^

this is a really excellent little project, offering a poppier, smoother take on crying's chiptune wall of sound. i hope these two can get together for a full-length.

remembered "there was a door" today

Just put on "Patriot".

revive made me look at their twitter & ryan has a new side project as of a few weeks ago

i just keep coming out to myself

on one hand this is the best record ever, on the other hand they should make another one

still the greatest album of all time

not inaccurate

new album when (ever)?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMXXiYzA2w4

was checking in on what they've been up to and the guitarist/songwriter put out this collaborative single last year

don't see any reason to ever expect a second album though unfortunately, maybe eventually one of his other projects will put out a new album
