The ever magnificent a closer listen continue to review the best of post-rock:
In Dutch, plots means “suddenly or unexpectedly.” Willem Sannen‘s album of the same name seeks to “celebrate the passing of time” through specific sounds, some whose meanings are obvious and others whose relevance is obscured. Take a moment to consider what the “obvious” might be: clocks, tides, train announcements, the sweep of a pendulum, the tolling of […]
I am not a star. I am an actor. I have been fighting for years to make people forget that I am just a pretty boy with a beautiful face. It’s a hard fight, but I will win it. I want the public to realize that above all I am an actor, a very professional […]

“The Witness” by Jorge Luis Borges English translation by Andrew Hurley In a stable that stands almost in the shadow of the new stone church, a man with gray eyes and gray beard, lying amid the odor of the animals, humbly tries to will himself into death, much as a man might will himself to […]

The gold standard for post-rock blogs.
Bill Seaman‘s The Topologies of Blue is a little sweet and a little scary, like a Sour Patch Kids commercial in reverse. The album is inspired by Gestalt psychology and the treatment of blue conditions. The packaging ~ lovely in letterpress ~ includes disturbing imagery. To listen is to be lulled into a narcotic haze, beautiful yet […]
A big thank you to Derek’s Music Blog for highlighting one of America’s finest power pop bands, Big Star:
Big Star-Pioneers Of Power Pop. Sadly, in music, talent doesn’t guarantee commercial success. If it did, Big Star would’ve been one of the biggest bands in musical history. Alas, that wasn’t the case. Lady luck failed to smile on Big Star when they released a trio of albums between 1972 and 1978. Despite this, Big Star […]
The Fat Angel Sings is one of the most interesting blogs on my feed. Today, the legendary Magazine are discussed.
Magazine an English post-punk band active from 1977 to 1981, then again from 2009 to 2011. The band was formed by Howard Devoto . Devoto had decided to create a more progressive and less “traditional” rock band. Devoto formed Magazine in Manchester, he met guitarist McGeoch, then an art student, and they began writing songs, some of which would appear on the […]
Much respect to captainfreakout at A Closer Listen to this great review of Laibach’s new album.
By now, you probably know this album’s story: avant-garde collective Laibach go to North Korea in 2015 and become the first Western band to play there ever since the country split in two. What they play is a variation on their regular praxis: The Sound of Music, the soundtrack of a movie which is apparently […]
