Hello, folks. Chances are you've realized there has been a lack of posting in the past two or three weeks, which is something that was probably due to the overwhelming period of time that is finals week. I hope everyone did alright, both high schoolers and college-goers know the pain that is finals. You can expect more frequent posts starting about now, because the ugly three-headed beast of a week is finally over for most kids.
So yeah. Gregor Samsa. Man. I've been on a Sigur Rós kick recently, and I have been lucky enough to find a similar band with a few more reservations about their sound. Gregor Samsa is a Virginian post-rock band who utilize dual vocalists to make a very mellow but powerful combination of slowcore and post-rock. Rest is a truly remarkable album full of intertwining melodies and sounds that will make your ears beg for more, and if you have the chance, look into their other albums, they are equally amazing. This isn't your typical crescendo-core, so if you're fresh off the Explosions in the Sky boat then this might be a good opportunity to branch off a bit.
Perfect music for the winter, hope all is well in your land, wherever that is.
Get this album here, and buy it here.
Also, I just realized that my fellow blogmate fauna posted another album by these guys sometime during the last month, so if you're intrigued please check that post out here.
