never got into their previous stuff but this is good

Seriously, just pipe Mombasa straight into my veins.

By and by, I wonder if Ride are the most obvious touchstone for this record. With better drumming (some of the pedal work is a joy).

This is my first time with this band, I dig it.

this is better than any ride album but there's not much of a trace of their blown-out jangle pop side of shoegaze here

Kind of getting a Tears for Fears vibe on "In Blur".

'better than any Ride album' is fighting talk

as much as going blank again rules, this certainly outdoes it

oh god OKAY i'll put it on today

Came here to say “wow, Deafheaven made a great Ride album!” Cos they did.

This is awesome. Liking it more and more.

they made an alcest album
― Pfunkboy AKA (Oor Neechy), Friday, 8 October 2021 21:08 (two years ago) link
I should check out Alcest then.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 8 October 2021 21:30 (two years ago) link
you should actually. They only really had one black metal EP (Le Secret) so anything after that shouldn't put you off really.
― Pfunkboy AKA (Oor Neechy), Friday, 8 October 2021 21:31 (two years ago) link
they made a goth Alcest album, to be more precise
― alpine static, Friday, 8 October 2021 22:28 (two years ago) link
this feels more distinct from alcest than their earlier work did

society if In Blur came back around for a third chorus at the end: [img-utopia]

Definitely a highlight of 2021. Hasn't faded a bit.

Is there a huge difference between the newly-released remastered version of Sunbather? I haven't had a chance to listen yet. I'll probably pick up the new CD when I see them later in Philly even if there's no real difference but I have trouble they'd put it out on formats other than vinyl if it was essentially the same thing.

New one is even more loud (i.e. compressed).

Doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement!

The ringing will be in your ears.
