Let me start off by saying that I've been listening to this album on and off for years now. Every year around this time I start listening to it a lot. This year I think it's broke me. I cannot stop listening to it. Antics is okay and I know how they're often compared with Joy Division. While the lyrics do click, what I'm really looking for is something with this sound. Stuff like early Wire or PiL is all I've been able to find, but that's still not cutting it.
The Chameleons are definitely a direct influence on them, but I know I can't get myself into them. You might have better luck, though.
So yeah, try the Chameleons.

Thanks. I got their LP night when I was looking for some on the archive. P good, but not quite.

Yeah, that's one of my fave releases this year, but that's what I'm talking about.

Try Our Love to Admire, it's a fantastic and underrated album. Their s/t also isn't as most people make it out to be. I don't know what to rec you though. Try The Sound and Minimal Man I guess.

I'll take your word for it. I've tried their other albums many times but they've never clicked like this one has. I'll give em another go though

Found on the archive too.
Don't ever post this shit again until you've listened to at least half of the albums here.
I always describe this album as Television+Joy Division
everybody forgets about Television
listen to Television
it doesn't have that same reverby joy division ambiance but it has some of the most kick ass guitar work ever

Thanks. A little less than half though still not enough. Looking more for post-punk revival if possible not classics desu.

surely you've listened to the national
>>60284035
Yes and I can't stand them all except for a few songs (mostly on alligator). One of my best friends plays in a band who try sound like them. I can't do it...I've tried and I just fucking can't.

I have the same problem. Turn on the Bright Lights was stuck in my CD player for 3 months. Couldn't stop listening to it. I was/am a big Joy Division fan, so it makes sense.
Anything I've found that is kind of in the same vein only sounds like if for a few songs (The National, Uni_Form >>60283734 , Editors, etc).
So if you find something, let me know, but I think (like me) you are in love with the album and you're not going to find anything close.
It's a good album for fall and winter. I like The Cure's Disintegration album for winter as well FWIW.

Check out My Dad Is Dead - The Taller You Are The Shorter You Get
Singles by Future Islands i think it's kind of comparable
>>60284807
Wow... I didn't know anyone else knew about that guy/band. Haven't heard anything since 89 or 90. Where can I find some? (not OP)
There was some song that started out with a drum machine, then a drum kit came in, then guitar... lyrics something like "you better watch out for that man.... and you're shaken/shaking"???
it's good idc desu

Thank you!
Hope I can find that one song.
My at the time gf had a brother who did radio shows in Moscow, ID college and we got to fill in a couple times. We'd just pull random albums off the shelf and play them. That's how I discovered My Dad is Dead. And Barkmarket.
Simpler times. Discovering new music was more difficult, and therefore more rewarding when you found something that you really liked.

the demos of this are really good and are more similar to TOTBL

I can't thank you enough.....
From the days of Napster to Amazon, I've never been able to find it (It is actually on Amazon now).
I can't even begin to explain how nostalgia I am right now. I'm in 1989 listening to it on a mix tape in my duplex.
