this seems like as good a place as any to post this i guess but i’ve noticed that the idol group yanakoto sotto mute works with a guitarist that sounds very hum-inspired to me, like here -

the actual new hum record is good too

the last Greet Death album is great but I wouldn't think to associate it with Hum necessarily; way too angsty

man i wish everyone name-dropping shiner itt had just also mentioned the crucial selling point, they were on desoto records!!!!!!!!!!

Desert Rambler could be an elder tune

i recommended this album to an elder fan, agreed

Oh yeah, I can totally see Elder fans digging this.

The moment at 2.30 in Desert Rambler, when the guitars fall away and they turn it down a notch, As we dream of our descent upon the surface / I see settlement fires / Gift of water that we carry / Lies in slumber under magnifiers is pure, heavenly bliss.

for anyone with a hankering for more new music w big geetars, you could do worse than the new Kestrels album that dropped today, ft. J Mascis

"Grey and Blue" is cool
Is it finally time to start a rolling new loud rock thread?
― billstevejim, Friday, 17 July 2020 16:59 (three years ago) link
Oh man those Postal Service-y vocals ruin that Kestrels for me, love the guitars though. Let's do that rolling LOUD RAWK thread :)

This album still rules, just confirmed it.

I was just about to get excited about getting my physical copy soon, but looks like we’ll all have to wait a little longer:

I need more stuff like this... slow moving, warm, well-engineered walls of distorted guitars.. hard hitting drums.. preferably unobtrusive vocals but considering welcome to sky valley is also scratching this itch for me these days who knows... halp.. I like elder too..

The Angelic Process? Weighing Souls With Sand is colossal. Might be a bit heavy.

Also as said above: Shiner and Failure are good touch points that are contemporary with most of Hum's catalogue. Imho other good stuff (though possibly veering into emo territory) could be Appleseed Cast's Low Level Owl 1 & 2.
Certain *songs*, maybe not albums, also seem to me like they could qualify, such as Travel is Dangerous my Mogwai or The Wedding Procession by Yume Bitsu.

Nothing about those particular fantastic albums really jump out as emo to me. Really more so just the rest of their discography.
― Evan, Wednesday, 9 September 2020 05:04 (three years ago) link
emo & post-grunge make up a decent fraction of the hum/failure/etc/etc venn diagram. there's also some stuff that is neither:

ugh why did I wait so long to finally pull the trigger on this album.
three songs in and this is magnificent

"Step Into You", omg, that guitar lead

So glad this thread got active again. I can't wait to get my copy, but loving it in the meantime.
Nice to see a Space Needle drop here, though I'm not sure they give me huge Hum vibes. Love that band though.

Man the excitement over this album faded really fast, disappointing as I still think it's one of the year's best.
Anyway, just got the notice that my CD pre-order shipped.

def my favorite hum album at this point

still listening quite a bit.

DiH is still tops for me (there's no beating that ornate production), but Inlet ain't much of a step down.

Hasn’t faded for me!! <3
― brimstead, Tuesday, 27 October 2020 18:09 (three years ago) link
Me either, it's one of the best things this year and I've listened to it a ton.
― I want to change my display name (dan m), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 00:11 (three years ago) link
no fade over here.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 28 October 2020 02:20 (three years ago) link
Excellent! Glad folks are still as excited. I’ve given myself a break from it until my copy shows up, want to recapture a little of that fresh magic from the surprise drop.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 28 October 2020 02:52 (three years ago) link
Yeah, no fade here either! It's not a record that invites a lot of ~discourse~ but that's good not bad imo.

It is interesting how they bowed out presenting as rock and returned presenting as metal imo
― imago, Wednesday, 28 October 2020 07:44 (three years ago) link
It still sounds like loud rock Hum to me but like, same band different era. I think Centaur and Matt's 2010s production work hinted they were gonna lean in this direction.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 28 October 2020 17:24 (three years ago) link
looking forwarding to getting the CD
― brimstead, Wednesday, 28 October 2020 17:45 (three years ago) link
My CD showed up today and, look, I'm not going to complain at all about having new Hum in my life but I gotta be honest, the CD packaging is underwhelming to say the least. Guess I shoulda sprung for the vinyl version.
It's one of those barest of bare bones cardboard sleeves, no liner notes, no lyrics. Just one photo of a forest (I think) from above on the fold-out. The credits, such as they are, are just what fits under the song titles on the back cover.
Not trying to be negative, I still love this album to death and glad I got my copy.
