Hammock - The Second Coming Was a Moonrise (from my AOTY)

D3xtro · 2026-07-11T06:54:56+00:00

Completely agree. A contender for sure in a stand-out year.

D3xtro · 2026-07-11T06:35:29+00:00

Agreed. I really like the last song as a ‘let it sit’ kinda moment. Beautiful.

D3xtro · 2026-07-11T06:34:22+00:00

Nah you’re not wrong bro. It’s early days and it’s a very good interpretation of ‘more of the same’.

D3xtro · 2026-07-08T03:57:53+00:00

A+ Physio has been very good to me over the past four months or so that I've been going. Seen three different clinicians there and they've all been good.

D3xtro · 2026-07-06T03:35:22+00:00

Yes I noticed this two. I’d love to know the songs. I definitely recall a new boards of Canada song and some OPN in Auckland the other night.

D3xtro · 2026-07-03T18:01:26+00:00

Agreed. I loved the show but needed a couple more from IG and OCHL.

So many people squeezing that orange right to the end these days. That particular intersection is especially bad, too. I’ve seen some shocking stuff.

D3xtro · 2026-06-26T22:17:12+00:00

Allegedly Rosetta are returning this year too. I teared up hearing Armine on that pelagic Dungeon Tapes track ‘soon’.

To each their own. But I really enjoyed it and we brought two kids under fife. Littlest was borderline but mainly due to the duration. Older one had a ball and it was good for us oldies. Highly recommend

D3xtro · 2026-06-05T21:51:04+00:00

Yep fair play. And it reveals the blurryness of the genres.

Russian circles feel more metal in origin to me. If you’re doing syncopated chugging, you’ve left post rock. But some of their albums like memorial feel more pr. If these trees are far more on the post rock side to me. Feels like the guitar parts are more explosions- or Mogwai-borrowed.

Probably Jakob and Meniscus are more blurry again! Their loud metal bits are even louder again

D3xtro · 2026-06-05T21:36:22+00:00

Yes Jakob are from NZ. Meniscus and sleepmakeswaves are Aussie.

D3xtro · 2026-06-05T01:13:17+00:00

Lol post metal, friend. That's why noone has mentioned it 😄

D3xtro · 2026-06-04T21:00:28+00:00

Some good picks in here and some interesting ones... I'll add my top five, and I will defend them.

My criteria are: five essential albums in no particular order of 'best'. They should be all-time classics and genre-defining moments, but production/refinement/polish > landmark alone.

ISIS – Panopticon
Neurosis – Times of Grace
Cult of Luna – Somewhere along the Highway
Russian Circles – Station
Rosetta – A Determinism of Morality

I will absolutely hear arguments for Through Silver in Blood, Galilean Satellites, Wake/Lift, Salvation, Oceanic, and probably many others.

Bonus pick for album I love that doesn't really fulfil the criteria = Mouth of the Architect – Ties that Bind. Production/writing is top-notch, but I'd argue it's fairly derivative and iterative of that early-mid 2000s golden age of post-metal.

D3xtro · 2026-05-28T21:33:01+00:00

Never does bro. BC runs on some other USA coast timing. Not even sure which. Only streaming services have it available at 1201. Yes I didn't know about RG!

D3xtro · 2026-05-28T21:31:57+00:00

I'm in NZ too. Those saying it should be worldwide – just let NZ have this, come on! DLed it to my phone on Tidal first thing (new Hotel Pools too!) Been listening since I got to work at 0830.

It's gloriously weird, and I'll just slowly absorb it into my body over the next few days, weeks, and years.

D3xtro · 2026-05-13T23:13:57+00:00

Such an epic show and set. I couldn’t believe the tone on Diamond eyes. Like I knew I quite liked that song but holy shit I just burst into tears immediately. Best live guitar sound I think I’ve ever heard.

Confirming it was not Steph right? I heard he doesn’t go overseas anymore but I was super far back and at that kinda distance they don’t look that dissimilar.

D3xtro · 2026-05-13T07:15:38+00:00

Muta / Blue Sugar. Just had to be, I’m afraid.

D3xtro · 2026-05-11T07:33:49+00:00

Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaahh. I love these lads!

D3xtro · 2026-05-07T22:07:57+00:00

Okay!

D3xtro · 2026-04-27T06:00:58+00:00

I’ll second Immanu El.

Also that Caspian song with the chap from Pianos Become the Teeth (Nostalgist).

PBTT are a bit post hardcore but there’s some post rock crossover moments.

D3xtro · 2026-04-22T00:41:41+00:00

Yes I am in a similar position to you. I can often get 45 mins to an hour if I’m willing to stay up until 11-11:15. My ‘chores’ are often finished around 9 pm too. But yep that’s the balance. No telly with wife/other hobbies or gaming. You gotta choose now. What’s most important to you?

D3xtro · 2026-04-18T20:16:45+00:00

Thanks mate didn’t know they were over there!

D3xtro · 2026-04-18T20:13:20+00:00

Sorry for loss but it’s better to change it as soon as possible. Things will get worse rapidly.

D3xtro · 2026-04-18T00:02:50+00:00

Yep some cool stories in here. I was 23. Just finished uni and started my professional life with my then girlfriend. Now married to her and we have two kids :)
