i talked to my bro at rolling stone.  hes gonna score us some good blow and take the band out to this place he knows.  says they got a real good bathroom to do coke in.

so you're gonna be on the cover of rolling stone? sweet

forget anything negative i have ever said in the past you know how i am..

can i be a roadie??? i'll lift some amps for you anytime

I'll be honest btw this is too POSTROCKY for my taste and I honestly listened for Couchfiend vocals so I was disappointed!

on the other hand you guys have your shit clearly together. it is just...not my kind of shit...

edit: this part in the aftermath that sounds like the trigun theme song was pretty great.

yeah I think if you guys get down and try to write some more melodic/vocally oriented stuff it could really rule the shits (I know you said you were already doing something like this). I know you're capable of it because of your other 2 albums plus you got other people working with you, so I can't wait to hear another release.

I think have not is the best on the album, you really hit it with that opening.

Also yeah some songs are a bit too long (and this is coming from someone who likes long ass tool songs)

hey is the harmonica or whatever playing "amazing grace" slightly off key in the after?

edit: pretty sure it is. man you guys have your sound together. if I had heard this three years ago when I had been slightly into postrock I would be freaking out.

edit edit: finally couch vocals...

yeah I was going to ask. why'd you do that, I listened waiting for...hidden track.

yeah, the opening song was definitely the best (also the one that sounded most like aerogramme thanks to couch singing). I was hoping for a lot more couch singing on this album, so I have to admit that was a bit of a disappointment, and I did not expect this postrock sound, but I still really liked it! Like steel, I think I would have absolutely LOVED IT like a year or two ago.

other favorites were "havenot" , "aftermath," "abraham's ashes" and "of solitary but better homes."

"the after" was very very godspeed but I still liked it.

i think the main issue is it falls into the general pitfall of postrock - without vocals, few songs are memorable. the aftermath has that catchy intro riff, "the after" has the harmonica, and we brought our own air has the great couch vocals with the high energy post rock. Without those songs, i think you'd be in a bit of trouble.



edit: but yes, add this to the growing list of GW releases that Im proud enough of to share with my friends.

Question-- do you guys hear the distorted vocals on some of the heavier parts or even recognize them as vocals?  I know they are unintelligible lyrically but I'm wondering what they sound like to people that don't know what they are.

glad everybody digs.  and yeah there is a new album in the works with more vocals and shit.  Also if you want to hear some stuff thats less postrocky and more vocalcentric def check out Something Desperate which is now up and around at http://www.flightandfalling.com .

and yeah there is validity to your criticisms ase.  although idk I like to think of this album as not a post rock album per se, just heavily influenced by the genre.  but yeah validity.

i took a tour of cathedral middle moon it is bank and the liner notes are cozy aight
