GREAT BASIN

2 brothers from Small Brown Bike and a dude from the Swellers doing a beardcore/ alt-rock/Quicksand thing.

I didn’t love the first single, but this is pretty good, but I’m sure I’ll hate the album.


THE CONSTANT

For fans of metalcore from before that was a derogatory term. They also put out a split with Zao if you need a dated co-sign.

Go get this. 


MINILITH

Droning ambient noise by a guy with 9 toes in a white ghillie suit.

Go get it.


TWO BEASTS

I loved the first Sumac album. I still think its their best release, but its also their most straight forward release. Each thing they put out pushes listenability further and further out. Now I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to the band, and even then I end up skipping around past the real “free jazz” parts of songs.

There are parts of this nearly 19 minute song that are fantastic, but you have to fade in the find them.
