    Amazing! Such a variety of styles and sounds.
    I hear Slowdive, Deftones, Alcest, Autumn for Crippled Children, Doom Metal-esque tempos and the emotion of SDBM

    Man, just found this album a few days ago and I can say without a doubt that this is the most beautiful album to come out in the past decade. Not only a completely outstanding album from an audio standpoint but also just a superb work of art. I've listened to music that blends clean, airy, and beautiful sounds with harsh, abrasive sounds but this is a whole different level. The abrupt and jarring transitions just further push the masterful juxtaposition of the spacey shoegaze riffs and the crushingly massive walls of sound that just crash down like waves. Then when you get used to Dark Stone and Arrows going from floaty clean guitar to massive distortion and screaming vocals Drag Me Into the Woods subverts this by having the first transition just be a few notes of heavy distortion with the screams actually behind the airy guitars and the cleans. Simply wonderful. This is album is just an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. 10 out of 10, a perfect, gorgeous, gem of a record.

    Got to meet the lead singer last night at the Senate in Columbia SC. He was so nice and kind to us and even chatted with us for a while. First time I ever heard of them or knowing they existed, and it was them playing live.....I became a fan instantly and had to get the record. That's what I love the most is going to shows and finding bands like this out of random in person.

      I know it’s been a few years, but check out “Yearning” by MONO. Good post-rock group, and that song encapsulates the emotions you felt when you typed this comment.

  • @kennlove4014

    It is 9:10pm (est), 9/14/2018. I've just finished listening to the album, which may be one of the BEST post-rock albums I've heard. So far, I'll say, "Dark Stone", "Yawning", "Seer", "Vespertine" were all astonishing. I say "so far" because I want to listen to this again at another time and see how it feels. This is something to live with and not make a judgement call the first listen through. Later.
    Now it's 2:10pm (est) 9/15/2018. I've just finished another listen-through but this time in broad daylight. Light or dark, this IS one of the BEST post-rock records I've heard. Possibly, so far, THE best one with vocals. "Dark Stone" is a f**king miracle. I think since this record is mixed in creamy density, it posits the fact that it isn't necessarily percussion-based which makes each track celebrate plasticity. So many times, in other albums, I've heard the idea in the 1st minute of the song then an elaboration on that idea. Holy Fawn takes their sound and twists it honestly, which is to say, not just for effect. Then there's the crescendo cliche that Holy Fawn deconstructs with a flick of the switch. No gimmicks. All follow-through. And, by the way, I listened to it twice completely sober. When it was over, each time, I was stoned. For me, that's "stoner". A musical contact high. Holy Fawn's "Death Spells" is the highest of the high. Outstanding.

    • @adiorthotos

      Truly an outstanding audio experience. The tracks and their mixing are clearly a result of thorough experimentation and deep passion.
      I'd love to hear your opinion on Explosions in the Sky's album Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. The harping guitar upon marching drums sends me to heaven and the haunting reverberated voices bring tears down my face. Every. Fucking. Time. Even when I'm emotionally grounded. Especially "Let Me Back In"; such elegant power... I like to think that that album's sound resonates with my soul's natural frequency. I just can't explain the magnitude of the effect and I've never had that before. Reading your thoughts, it seemed you're an interesting person and thought I should share an equivalent experience of mine too. Totally different kind of post-rock, but that's why I'd love to hear your opinion on it.

    • @kennlove4014
      @kennlove4014 5 років тому +2

      adior8ot0s Thank you for the kind comments. Funny thing, the EITS record you'd like my opinion on is the ONLY one I haven't listened to as yet. I will attempt this and let you know what I thought. I sincerely doubt I'll be as affected by it as you have been, but it will be fascinating and intriguing to see. Give me some time, however. But I'll be as expeditious as possible. Thanx again.

    Metal-gaze! Anyway, WherePostRockDwells YT channel landed me here quite handedly, readily, and without any resistance...I live in Phx, time to seek out this really GREAT Arizona band locally! BTW: This album 'vibe' distinctly reminds me of the album: {Songs of Darkness, Words of Light} from the band: My Dying Bride, in particular their track: 'My Wine in Silence'

  • @Mubvekhar

    I decided to put this album on again tonight. It’s snowing out, and will be for a few more months up here in the north. I head outside and keep listening as I light up a cigarette, puffing on smoke as snow blows into my face, the music drowning out the cold. I see a rabbit run across the snow half a dozen feet in front of me. I hear coyotes and foxes in the distance. The foxes are probably the same ones I see on the hill across the street a couple times a month. The music blares as I feel the snow melt against my face, nature moving around me in my remote home. And the music blends in perfectly. This is why I love Holy Fawn. They may come from the desert of Arizona, as I did once, but their music is a force of nature.
