Melancholia Hymns is still one of my favorite albums of last year. The way this band can build up to these huge, soaring moments so effectively while still having both sections of crushing heaviness and subtle beauty is really something.
They're so god damn good. This is the only new song from the EP yeah? The others are re-works, is that right?
Absolutely should! So great. Me too. They just need to get on good tours and I could see them getting a lot bigger here!
Dang that's a bummer.. it definitely seemed like they were gaining momentum. I doubt their tour will be extensive, but at least they ended on a really high note.
Definitely not saw this coming. The interviews around the latest album's era were so full of hope for the future of the band. I'm going to miss them so bad. I can't think of another band, besides Agent Fresco, who had such a distinct sound for their genre.
I'm usually decent at describing music but with Agent Fresco it's a bit of a struggle. Art rock with progressive elements, heavy parts that come out of nowhere (hence the similarity to Arcane Roots), baroque influences at times...? If you're into Dredg, Kaddisfly, Tides Of Man, Karnivool, The Dear Hunter, there's a chance they will be up your alley.
I actually decided to check them out myself right before you commented... Dark Water was the first song I checked. This is PHENOMENAL. Thank you so much for mentioning them!! Right up my alley.
Anybody here heard of Rendezvous Point? Listening to their new album and I got some Arcane Roots vibes. I wanna play Melancholia now
