i'm an iroquois ontarioan alcoholic, grew up in sudbury and lived on or close to a reservation most of my life. goddamn if this album doesn't encapsulate the canadian or ontarioan spirit more than anything else. the bleakness, the frigidity, the nihilism, it's like looking outside at the fucking pines and factories. what album is a perfect soundtrack for where you live?
album is Signs Reign Rebuilder by Set Fire to Flames btw

What album represents Wichita, KS?
the best band to come out of Pittsburgh
Vancouver, Canada.
The cover art of Kaputt is Vancouver itself. The songs are all somewhat atmospheric and nice, which an undertone of sadness. They both seem to be have nature themes, like the beautiful forests around the city. As well as some urban feelings.
Plus the album vinyl version was like $35 which is expensive, just like living in Vancouver.

Very nice write up. Love that album.

Amazing album. Truly one of a kind IMO. Need to visit BC/Vancouver.

north jersey suburb
Minneapolis. Prince stuff just can't be the soundtrack for this place. 'Mats capture both the melancholy and controlled chaos of modern life.

my dad had an apartment right across the street from that house back in the day
Southern Indiana
I live on a lake that morphs into a swamp in Northern Virginia. I don't know how many times I've walked through the thick woods of my neighborhood listening to this, but its absolutely perfect when the insects are buzzing and the frogs are making a racket.

trips confirm that's an awesome connection to that band/album

Tampa fag here, this is too true
Anyways, I feel this perfectly describes confused feelings of the Tampa burbs, specifically shit like Tampa Palms, New Tampa where the young population as a whole is having a hormonal crisis
I live in south america by the sea so this ones is definetly the one.
I live in southern California.

doesn't that take place in the Caribbean?
I'm from Ottawa and I really feel that this captures the urban nature aesthetic that I get from busing into the city, through the greenbelt, and along the river every morning. The album just feels like looking out a bus window
White Trash, USA (western Massachusetts)
Pretty accurate example of my neighborhood. Only kids were nu-metal loving potheads or just potheads. It was disgusting.

Damn. That's my favorite AnCo solo record. Would love to experience a place that's similar to the sound of the album.
The Collective - Scale the Summit
>Overall optimistic theme heavily permeated by somber, pessimistic themes.
>Come from one of those "not quite a city, not quite a town" places where most people end up getting stuck working DC jobs and drinking their life away with each other. That optimistic theme is for the few that make it out
Oddly enough, I get a set fire to flames/early GY!BE vibe from where I live in Connecticut. Every day on the way to the bus I walk by a walled in brown zone with the anarchy logo spray painted on it and repurposed industrial factories. It's actually kinda neat but depressing sometimes.

you're fucked son
Probably like Parquet Courts or DIIV or some other boring indie dogshit made by rich white kids. Highly affluent area. It sucks feeling like an alien in your hometown.
I moved to Seattle a few years ago, but this album (and the southwest folk punk scene more generally) perfectly encapsulates the hopeless, hedonistic, but close-knit community of Tucson, Arizona.
>tfw drinking by the railroad tracks behind the shitty punk venue with friends
>tfw going into the desert to party and no one (especially cops) would mess with you
I miss it sometimes.
