best out of the current-ish crop of post-punk bands people and algorithms keep telling you to listen to

What the actual fuck, this is INCREDIBLE

Imagine a gay Gareth Liddiard trying to make a speculative sci-fi album but being assailed by chaotic IDM, all with a melodic sensibility of Montreal wouldn't baulk at, and it being the best music

Oooh. That does sound good.

i think a description that promising needs its own thread

I don't like the new Sports Team album nearly as much as the first one, but this song is a highlight:

is it too soon to stop calling it "post-punk"

Have to say not loving the newest Crack Cloud as much as previous releases, and furthest away from "post-punk" influences they've gone probably. Always happens when angry young bands get more mature and subtle and leave behind some of that edge. Not all of it, and it def has moments. I've only listened to it once so really shouldn't be quick to judge. Still my favorite thing going these days mostly.

most def still post-punk though is Automatic, playing in NYC soon. Can't wait.

Yard Act are the worst of the latest crop, right?

have heard bad things about Bilk, and the new Cowboyy EP is laughable

we are in for a bad few years of UK art-rock unfortunately

that said it is quite hard to imagine worse music than Yard Act, yes

there's a song on the new shame album that sounds just like wolfmother

Well now!

Listen if you are me

Er, "autismcore?" From my city, though ... is this via RYM?

reminds me of Polvo
cool idea!

If my favourite three tracks (1, 3, 6) basically didn't have the same tune as each other...

I feel like this is on the cusp of something amazing, maybe hasn't quite nailed it, but the guitar tone in the louder bits is So Good

<i>Starting the the late 2010's, a number of (mostly) British bands emerged with new and adventurous takes on the broad rock subgenre of post-punk</i>

what are they talking about, like Black MIDI?

excuse the formatting.

i assume yes, but a shame they're not actually referring to Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack

I dig this group English Teacher (from Leeds)... they've released a few really strong singles this year:
