Balmorhea - Jubi

Like you in a field with lotsa sun. Country post-rock. So clean.

Deafheaven - Sunbather (2013)

except, perhaps, to the odd nostalgic metal-fiend youtuber ("I don't know man, black metal came a long long way. From trolling in the woods of Norway and burning churches to pink album covers"), Deafheaven's Sunbather is more proof that black metal and post-rock can be two peas in one ferocious, face-melting pod.  

these tracks remind me of Other Animals and especially Wolves in the Throne Room (huge fan), which are also totally worth a listen.





ps these dudes have great shirts as well

Boards of Canada - Reach for the Dead (2013)

In June, elusive electronic music duo Boards of Canada are set to release another full-length album after an eight year hiatus: Tomorrow's Harvest (Warp). The announcement came only after a typically mysterious, code-cracking, puzzle fest which has been gripping BoC-heads and musos for the last month or so: involving untitled 12"s being placed in NY's Other Music and London's Rough Trade East, as well as numerical codes being dropped into radio shows on both sides of the Atlantic and clues hidden in web code. Check out Fact Mag's summary of it all here.

But first: watch and listen to Reach for the Dead. BoC always do awesome videos:
