Thanks for the rec
>>65853579
Slept in a gravely bed...
Fucking perfect moment
Bump for slowcore
>>65854795
Appreciate it. Anyone ever considered making a flowchart? I feel like there's a lot of potential for one.
Bump for morning /mu/
>>65853113
>Stratosphere (Though I'd argue it's barely slowcore.)
>Lowercase
>Seam
>I'm listening to Flying Saucer Attack.
Anyway, bump.
1) Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill
2) Codeine - Frigid Stars
3) Probably Autistic Daughters
4) Seaworthy + Taylor Dupree - Wood, Winter, Hollow
Also posting a chart
Can anyone rec me something similar to the first minute of Stratosphere?
I love the album but after the sudden transition into the second track it doesn't really get back to the feel of the intro.
never see these guys on here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46SbYLo2nV8
>>65857247
Duster briefly performed under the name Valium Aggelein in 1998. Heir Kommt der Schwartze Mond is the album you're looking for.
Here's the /dust/ pastebin if anyone's looking for it: http://pastebin.com/0ceMuWLS

Not sure exactly, but since I have the opportunity, check out On The Air if you haven't. Its version of Reed To Hillsborough is incredible.
Also it's fucking impossible to find the album cover on google images for some reason.
1) Down Colorful Hill, I know it's a cliche by this point but it's just gorgeous and perfect.
2) Low - Things We Lost in the Fire
3) Seam (check it out senpai!)
4) Mitski - I bet on losing dogs, kinda fits with the rest of slowcore I've been listening.
Additionally, some rare koz for my slowcore bros:

do you need it? i have it
>>65857255
This is fucking great my man thanks for the rec
>>65857407
I'll take it, sure. I just found all the pictures of keyboard air dusters on google images pretty entertaining.
>>65857434
Doesn't On the Air not have an official album cover? I've seen some good fanmade ones.
>>65857434
It's also in the /dust/ pastebin, in the bonus MEGA link at the end. I probably should've just said that.
>>65854822
>>65857216
thanks for these
i've only heard i could live in hope and i was wondering where to go next
>>65857492
Go to Codeine - The White Birch next, then try Red House Painters especially Rollercoaster id you liked Low, then just branch out from there.
>>65857492
Listen to Things We Lost in the Fire next, I would say it's even better.
>>65857487
Thanks

>>65857407
different anon but if you have the cover to valium aggelein - heir kommt der schwartze mond that would be gnarly
>>65857649
Here you go. It's not very hi-res. I remember personally cropping the cover from the Discogs scans.
>>65857344
This is great, thanks.
>>65857376
Thanks, I'll give it a listen.
Live damn you

>>65853113
>1. love, claire - s/t
>2. codeine - the white birch
>3. bluetile lounge
>4. raekwon - verbal intercourse (lol)
>>65854822
i was thinking about making a flowchart earlier, but it's a niche enough genre that i think people could just check out the "big 3" (low, rhp, codeine) and go from there
Does this count as slowcore?
>>65859275
It's neofolk with slowcore elements

>>65853907
what I like is that he says "gravelly bed" yet the song is called "gravel bed"
it's going to be this one for me. though it's more like post-rock.
>>65859266
It might be good for a smaller flowchart, there's a lot of diversity in the genre that can go overlooked. I'll check out your favorite by the way.
Outside of slowcore, what are your favorites genres?
Mine:
>Screamo and midwest emo
>Noise and narsh noise
>Glitch, minimal and sound collage
>Shoegaze
>>65859360
Dream pop, indie rock, and indie pop. I could never get into shoegaze much, the wall of sound type thing has never done much more me, even though I like Loveless a bit. I like straightforward melodies more.
>>65859360
*and harsh noise
>>65859360
emo
screamo
emocore
emoviolence
>>65859360
dream pop, early post-rock, ambient, downtempo, idm
>>65859360
Noise pop, folk, post-punk, some post-rock and some emo, trying to get into ambient
Bumperini
I have been listening to Down Colorful Hill once a day for almost a year, but I've moved on to listening to the rip of the demo cassette
1. Down Colorful Hill
2. Souvlaki
3. White Heaven
4. King Tubby meets The Upsetter
This or Carissa's Wierd
>>65853113
1. Low - Things We Lost in the Fire
2. Bedhead - Transaction de Novo
3. Kowloon Walled City. Not sure if this 100% counts, but their newest couple albums are basically really heavy slowcore
4. Swans - The Glowing Man (the title track itself)
dun die
Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill
Slowdive - Souvlaki
dunno, don't listen to much slowcore
Carissa's Wierd - Songs About Leaving
>>65857108
>listening to Flying Saucer Attack
nice, which album?
Bump
What's your favorite song off of Stratosphere? The Twins-Romantica for me
>>65862062
Good choice.
Constellations or The Twins/Romantica.
>>65859360
Midwest emo, folk, dream pop, post rock, indie.
Who here listens to rivulets?
>>65863196
i do
>>65859360
shoegaze, dream pop, folk, post rock, post punk, indie.
Could they please repress the RHP albums on CD? It would be very appreciated.
>>65859360
shoegaze
post rock
noise compositions (like Tim Hecker and Yellow Swans)
getting into ambient
I also like some metal, mainly the artsier stuff like black metal and post/sludge metal
>>65860125
>I have been listening to Down Colorful Hill once a day for almost a year
are you me?
Contemporary Movement is better imo
>>65866419
All the high-fashion freaks sway in sync with the rhythm - back and forth, back and forth
