“Weird music for weird people.”
Post-rock runs deep this week: Fighting Kites herds their post-rock-noise-pop obscurities into one essential anthology — Belgium to Australia, a Resonance FM live session, and a jolly Christmas duet with Benjamin Shaw included. frans asthma brings lo-fi post-shoegaze slowcore from Arizona, while Solid Blood delivers math-y, dreamy, and emotive post-rock from the founder of Rue Defense. Mildred swings wildly with a sprawling 2-hour genre-bending treatise on the anti-christ at a neo-Abrahamic apocalypse in Montana, and Daniel Castanos conjures dark-ambient dread with a concept EP about a fictional cult meeting its miserable end.
“Math-y, dreamy and emotive post-rock indie solo project from Rue Defence founder Solid Blood”
“a cinematic, post-classical journey through melancholic swells, weightless melodies, and the quiet struggle to stay afloat”
“Post-Rock-Noise-Pop? Damn right, it’s Fighting Kites. Features Christmas duet with Benjamin Shaw.”
