To anyone who remembers Athletics from like 10 years ago, they've reunited and will be releasing new shit next year. To anyone who doesn't remember Athletics from like 10 years ago, behold: RIYL: Moving Mountains and... you know... bands like that. Slightly post-hardcore-y, emo-y post-rock

ABOUT FUCKING TIME YOU ASSHOLES So already (essentially) confirmed for next year I/we've got: Overhead, The Albatross A Sudden Burst Of Colour aswekeepsearching A Burial at Sea Myriad Drone Athletics (though no confirmation on whether we're actually getting a full-length next year or just an EP or some singles) The potential for disappointment is absolutely immense.

Six Days of Calm - My Little Safe Place Album premier. Album will be out tomorrow. Extremely lush and atmospheric Post Rock. Loving it!
RIYL: Exxasens, Break My Fucking Sky, another band I can't for the goddamn life of me remember the name of, etc. Big riffy spacey post-rock.
