The Goslings
 

Their album Grandeur of Hair came in the mail yesterday. They are definitely the best thing I've heard in long time.
Sunn0))) meets MBV meets Bardo Pond and shit... i.e. extremely profound sounding music.

Are the other albums of theirs equivalent to this one?

between the dead is mind fucking blowing, going from harsh noise, to drone to blissful feeback. spaceheater/perfect interior is much more dronier.

yes, they are amazing!

totally glad people have checked that disc out.. it's one of my favorite releases to date that I've done with the label and i've gotten lots of good feedback on the project..

check out the CDR Goslings collab with Roxanne Jean Polise it's hopelessly out of print but i'd imagine some downloadable file is creeping around out there.. I'll be re-issuing this as a double CD in early spring along with a disc worth of new shit... should be really sweet.

sweet, a roxanne jean polise mention on the sy board...... steev!!

but yeah, my fav goslings is spaceheater.

splendid news!!! i just got me some mp3s of the roxanne jean polise, i haven't listened to them yet but will soon.

Between the Dead is the other album most like Grandeur of Hair, and Space Heater/Perfect Interior is equally awesome, but less song-oriented and more atmospheric. I'm still yet to hear that collaboration with Roxanne Jean Polise.

Great band, the Goslings!

I'm obliged to thank dj rick for playing them on artforspastics some months back. If it wasn't for that particular show, I would've never found this band.
thangyous...

Glad to know I could be of some help....especially for a band that I seriously count as one of my absolute faves.

i listened to their collab with roxanne jean polise yesterday and my god if it's amazing!! it's like someone 3-ded early goslings into something else.

I'm totally and massively into them and their erratic ways at the moment.Great band.

yeah, grandeur of hair is pretty good stuff.

I've only heard Between the Dead, but that's pretty great.... I need to listen to some more.

They're nice too.

Great band. Their music is the perfect thing for when I want to make the house shake, but want something more uplifting than Sunn O)) or Black Boned Angel.

yeah, they are great ...

They've got a split 7" with Yellow Swans which is available to subcribers of the Not Not Fun "Bored Fortress" Singles Club series. The rest of the lineup is totally worthwhile, too.

Check it...

It probably won't be available for very long now that the first few splits have begun shipping.

Their side on that split 7" with Yellow Swans was excellent too.

Anyway, has anyone already heard the new one, Occasion?

i love this band. just got into them.

ordered it, hasn't arrived yet.

wha??? i never knew they did a split with yellow swans, that sounds like itd be fuckin awesome

i wish this thread lasted longer

i'm going to put their split with yellow swans tomorrow because i frenkly don't remember any of it (i listened through a worn needle and a shitty wired turntable).

cool cool

I've mentioned this before but not on this thread, but my band Robe. is slated to do a split with them in the distant future.. we finished our track a while back but they have a lot of releases lined up and they work kinda slowly because, from what I understand, they don't have a computer at their house and have to check internet stuffs online and whatnot. I'm pretty certain they are doing another split with warmth (artist formely known as roxanne jean polise) in the future as well.

They are very nice people, if you get a chance you should email them on myspace and tell 'em you dig 'em, because they always respond or at least appreciate the compliments.

i checked out youre robe stuff, and in all honesty i think its your best band. i definitley dug some of the scissor shock, but this slow, droning, ambient, shit seems to be your strong suit.

robe. - glacial.

coming soon through kiddieriot records...

kiddieriot has so many rockin bands, one of the more more far out labels in a while

I have heard Occasion, and it is like a progression from Grandeur of Hair into some grislier doom abstractions. Not totally abstract, but certainly further away from the stuff like Space Heater that drew a few MBV references. If you liked the last one, you'll probably love this one. All these albums are likely to grow on you even more with repeated listening.

Got a new track from it in the latest AFS...

batreleaser, thanks, glad you like robe.

I guess the point of having two bands is to explore two completely different avenues of sound.. yeah.

i think thats the general idea. ive never been in more than one band once. and ive only been in four alltogether. but all of them were indeed a little different. first one combshot, which was with my highschool buddies and a really really lousy half jap/fall/beat happening lowfi garbage, none of us could play AT ALL and we couldnt pull it off nearly as good as jad fair. next one was blind shiatzu with four college which was a electro infused grindcore and we actually got pretty decent till half the band became junkies and bailed. the next was special blend no. 27 which was just one of the aforementioned college buddies, and the idea for that one was pfunk reimagined as a loud as fuck harsh noise band, and the idea failled miserably and my and the friend arent on speaking terms cause i broke his noise one night while i was drunk and beligerent. anyways, my current band, harrychristiansen, is with my long time musical partner in crime, my brother, and two other kids, and were tring to go totally blend together all sorts of our favorite music; free jazz, grindcore, hip hop samples and scratches, powerviolence, no wave, and lots and lots of funkiness, im on vocals, guitar, and trumpet. i have high hopes for this one but the only problem the other three members are all in boston so untill im home for summer the band is in hold. luckily im only 20, and im confident ill get my music going by the time im 25-26.

goslings are one of my favorite activ ebands
i have granduer of hair between the dead and full hunters moon. alll three are amazing

occasion is fantastic, but i have to say i haven't listened to it as much as i have wanted to.

agreed with the sentiment of robe. but yknow, i still hanker for the ruinhorse spastication souund.....

haha.

I miss ruinhorse too.

www.myspace.com/ruinhorse

wow i just listened to ruinhorse-excellent shit adam. very cool.
any chance you can send some songs my way?
and does robe have a myspace?

yeah, it's in my signature :)

www.myspace.com/robedot

uhhh i sent pauly the ruinhorse discography a while back, you can bug him about it haha. It's really complicated, I guess I should explain this to people. I stay equal time at my grandpa's and my house and also lately it's been a quarter of time, because I'm at my girlfriend's and my friend/bandmate Booe's house. I have a bunch of shit spread across all those houses, so it takes me different days to do different things. For example, my ruinhorse discography is at my house, so I won't be at my house for a few days, then I won't be back here for more days. Hahaha.

So, if you want it, ask pauly ;)

Or..

Add Robe Flesh on soulseek if you have soulseek, because he has everything I've ever done.

OH, also wanted to mention that at 3 of the houses I just mentioned (all except my girflriend's) I have separate computers in each location, each with recording software and Fruity Loops, vst plugins, and shit, but different mp3 files and under different soulseek accounts, haha.

It's interesting, because at my grandpa's, I have all my movies and all my data discs.. at my house, I have all my cd's and video games.. at Booe's house I have all my instruments, which takes up two rooms in his house... and he lives in this weird, like mansion that's on 8 acres of land.. and we always record there..

One day I hope to combine everything into one place...

sounds tiring:cool:
and yeah im stupid for not looking at your sig.
ill pm pauly and get it.
thanks

you guys heard the hospitals' hairdryer piece?

I'm going to pick this one up for sure. From the bits I've heard on their myspace they're like a more blown-out, psychedelic and fucked up psychedelic horseshit or times new viking. Also looking forward to getting the Eat Skull record.
