Is there a band that probably only /mu/ knows about? I feel like this one qualifies. i don't know a single person outside of here that knows who they are.
I know a couple people who were into them who were into like Merchant Ships and stuff but other than that they had a pretty loyal local following.
Nowadays its mostly just /mu/.
Even with the people who like em on here, this fucking brilliant demo gets ignored a lot.
its a shame too
can this thread be /emo/?
>>55126235
it really is. I showed this to my best friend and his girlfriend and they fell in love with it. I really wish they got a bit more exposure cause I'm sure they wouldn't be the only other 2 people to like it
I'm gonna recommend this album to a girl in a couple days, she likes the Front Bottoms also. What song should I show her? Can't Run Away isn't cathartic enough and the rest might be too much
>>55126582
I always play the first track off the album when I show people it, honestly.
>>55126582
can't run away is the best entry song to introduce people to it. show them the more zany stuff if they like that.
Radiohead
Also maybe Death Grips but I saw them mentioned on reddit once
>>55126681
>Radiohead
>Death Grips
Are you retarded?
>>55126681
Actually, not really for either of them, especially not Radiohead. Sure, there's Creep but I know some people who love OK Computer. My best friend loves Kid A, and her best friend legit loves them.
>>55126713
>>55126742
smell the new boys
it's cancerous
>>55126228
Oh god I love this demo. I can't even. Its doesn't get overlooked, I mean my friend hates demos so thats why he wouldn't listen to it.
Have a nice lyfe
>>55126262
I wish this thread could be emo but I only like shit emo.
sorry anon.
midori maybe?
they only have like 500 likes on facebook
How come reddit stole the oceangrunge meme?
>>55126835
This. Literally don't know anyone who knows who those guys are.
>>55126228
the samples in this are awesome.
>MY PRECIOUS ICE CREAM
>that fucking konami intro sample
>>55126228
didn't know this was a thing, thanks for the heads up.
>>55126228
>>55126999
>>55127069
if only the sound quality was better though.
>>55126228
"You're Not Me But Neither Am I" is the song I use to introduce people to BLA. All the elements of the band are in that one song.
>>55127868
okay I think I like this song more than any other BLA song i've heard
dl link?
>implying any normies listen to the Dan Witch Project
>>55128120
All their albums are available here- https://www.mediafire.com/?xf3mqf3hj3qbq (these are official downloads from the band so don't feel bad about stealing shit not like I expect people to here)
that song is on "Demo?" but download the rest of their shit too- Okumay is my favorite release and "45 Minutes from 'Somewhere Out There" is my favorite song by them
>>55126939
Why does no one listen to TTFATD? It's way better than Weak Waves EP
>>55126196
Last.FM rec'd me these guys a few days ago based on American Football so idk.
>>55128747
It's shit. That is why nobody listens to it.
Gheeeee!!
lets have sex!
>>55129618
>calling Dan shit
>implying no one listens to this
>implying it's not one of the most popular albums on /mu/
k
Here's a little gift sent from god for all you Brave Little Abacus fans out there
http://youtu.be/IY4THYFrO_o
To: /mu/
From: A loyal fan
pic related: best modern emo record of our times. in an emo thread a few weeks ago, a guy who is friends with the band let me know they have a new product coming out and he actually sent me some unmastered tracks and it was incredible. few days later the guy from the actual band sent me the whole finished mastered tape and holy shit, /mu/ isnt ready. it's gold
wait for it, it's called Mimisiku - Underwhelming
>>55130145
forgot pic. the same band is compiled of the guitarist/singer and drummer from two knights and father figure.
>>55130145
This seems so genuine and not b8 and I think I'm spooging all over myself
Scott Walker. He's not even that popular here; I discovered him by dumb luck. The only older people that are into him are like the proto-dadrock crowd, most of whom are as reclusive as the artist himself. The people I've tried to introduce him to that otherwise have very similar taste to me never seem to like him.
>>55126196
They're actually worshipped in twinkle circles, but at the end of the day it's still /mu/core
Also masked dancers still one of my fav albums of all time
Also also I met Adam last summer, he's an absolute sweetheart. I asked how he came up with half the shit and he doesn't even know. Some people just got it.
>>55126835
i saw a couple people at p4k with no fun shirts
they were all mutants and made fun of me in the thread for autisticly trying to talk to them
>>55130281
You won't find this shit anywhere, only a live show on youtube
>>55130436
Link? Also Adam is in a band called Me in Capris now they're p rad
Brave little abascus is one of my favorite bands ever. i still have no idea what their background is or what happened to them. I only first heard Okumay about a year ago, did they break up after Okumay, or was Okumay a posthumous release?
>>55130522
Adam is in a band called Me in Capris. I got in contact with and associated band and they said that Me in Capris is only releasing something on vinyl.
>>55126196
/r/emo circlejerks this album
>>55130145
bait
Adam is in a band called Me in Capris right now and they're not finished recording anything yet
>>55130545
I remember hearing something about that band before. Seems pretty cool, looks like they have some videos up of shows on youtube
>>55130007
I never knew Adam was such a good actor
>>55130494
I don't live in Texas or know those dudes but Ive talked to Parker on ig a few times, he is so chill. Every project that I've known that he's involved in has been so consistent and they are constantly evolving. Father figure was straight screamo, two Knights was a nice blend of mathy emo and screamo, but mimisiku is their first pure emo record. it's so damn good
>>55130522
The unofficial timeline is as followed:

Early 2011- okumay sessions start
Summer 2011- okumay completed, released to friends
Holiday 2011- BLA annouces break up

I think that's everything.
Adam's a cuck
i bought a cd from him and he never mailed it and it's been a year
>>55130756
Forgot to mention
January 2012- okumay released on vinyl. Shirts printed too. Afaik there is none left.
>>55130762
Contact him? Hes on instagram and fb he's a great dude he'd be happy to sort it out
>>55130806
i'm not actually upset i just don't want to bother him or seem pushy or anything because i feel like an annoying fan or something
>>55130756
this is actually awesome, thank you

No.

>TTFATD
What is that?
>>55130364
>mfw I was handing out my vinyl digital codes and an acquaintance wanted one and all I had to give him was Bish Bosch
dunno if he's listened yet
>>55131044
Man, why can't Columbus get sick shows like this
>>55131044
saw foxing live last fall
was good, but wasn't thoroughly impressed
The Hotelier on the other hand. They put on a great show.
>>55131044
That reads like American Football is opening for an overhyped band.
/mu/-exclusive projects like Dicklick Brigade or Meme Friends.
>>55131461
yeah I don't see how anyone outside of /mu/ could possibly find that shit
>>55130833
>afraid of being pushy
nigger it's been a goddamn year, i think he'll understand
>>55131019
If he did, he was probably confounded by the first minute.
>>55131273
I've seen the Hotelier twice and they're consistently fantastic.
Have a Nice Life
>>55129546
Weak Waves is his best album.
>>55131856
Not really, they're quite known
>>55131856
They definitely used to be, but they are much more well known now. I do feel like /mu/ made up at least 60-70% of their fanbase for a few years after Deathconsciousness came out, though.
Primordial Gods
>>55126939
they don't even have dark ocean succubus.
Nana grizol
Death Grips, Animal Collective, Neutral Milk hotel, Radiohead, Spiritualized, GYBE, My Bloody Valentine, Slint, Captain Beefheart
just to name a few
>>55132089
i hope u get some bites /b/rother
