You actually got me to listen to Wire this couple of weeks. Mostly an EP I found in a share thread and Pink Flag.
Other then this I was really into "content nausea" which I'm not really sure it counts and as far as I know no a lot of people like it, but for me the lyrics are really fucking nice.
The most recent stuff I've heard was Viet Cong
Favourite ever... Fear of Music I guess, I really like the afro stuff, that you could write off as Eno's influence. Open for recommendations.

>>52942484
hi
Wire are great honestly, my personal fav is 154, I love how all the songs are completely different from one another on that album. I'm gonna give you a mega link to it in a moment
Viet Cong is good as well, though it doesn't particularly stand out.
Interesting, shouldn't you prefer Remain In Light? It has way more afro and Eno influence

Favorite Post-Punk albums I can think of
>Wire - Pink Flag
>Joy Division - UP and Closer
>The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys
>Bauhaus - In The Flat Field
>This Heat - Deceit
>Public Image - Metal Box
>Talking Heads - More Songs
>Suicide - Debut
>Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight
>Sonic Youth - Evol
>Swans - Children Of God

That's all I can think of right now. I'm more of a fan of classic post punk because it wasn't like revival post punk that just carries the stereotypical drum beat.

>>52942563
That one is strange for me.
The first thing I heard(actually saw) from The Talking Heads was Stop Making Sense and after that I heard Remain In Light and after that everything else. The stuff I liked in the live I didn't actually liked in Remain in Light, although it's a masterpiece production-wise. The sound is just so dense, there is constantly something happening in the background, everchanging, but always in mind of the front.
I prefer Fear of Music, maybe because it sounds a little bit crapier, or more simple, which I think fits better the mood and the theme of the songs. And maybe mood it's the core thing here. Remain in Light overall is kind of, not depressing per say, but kinda moody, and fear of Music is something I picture myself driving to, which is for some reason the picture I get in my mind when I listen to all of my favourite stuff.
Still, I haven't listened to them for more than a year and I have to say that re listening to them now is really interesting.

>>52942586
I'm touching my dick to this, thanks

>>52942484
Nice pick on Fear of Music.

Check out Liquid Liquid, the self-titled comp that covers all their material is super good and pretty similar to the funky post-punk TH made.

Also seconding Jagatara >>52942586

>>52942658
Yeah, revival was pretty much all indie rock bullshit too, kinda what Viet Cong are doing right now but worse.

I could never get into the endless repetition that Metal Box is, is it really THAT amazing? I fear I'm failing to see the greatness of it besides it being vastly influential.

Also, White Light > Children of God when it comes to post-punk Swans ;)

best post punk release of last year was low life - dogging

>>52942658
good choices, kind of surprised that The Modern Dance isn't on there
anyway i'm pretty sure a lot of people agree with you on post-punk revival. It's really soulless rehash of the unique sound old bands have
anyway you might like
Cortex - Spinal Injuries
Crispy Ambulance - The Plateau Phase
>>52942683
I agree, as unique and interesting Remain In Light is to listen to, it kind of gets repetitive, while Fear Of Music stays pretty much consistent throughout

>>52942754
>>52942484
Contemporary post-punk is basically dead and more indie rock than punk

>>52942766
I get the feeling you haven't listened to Low Life.

>>52942739
Fuck, forgot about Liquid Liquid. Viet Cong are getting a surprising amount of attention for a post-punk band. However I feel Women are a better band. Metal Box is great, but I got into it around 9th grade, but it's still a great listen if your into dub (this explains the long songs).
>>52942758
I'll check these out.

>>52942754
for a sec I though that the dream pop/post-punk band Lowlife released a new album
>>52942739
Metal Box has a really unique sound and I haven't really listened to something similar. But yeah, the point is that it's repetitive. Also Poptones is a fucking amazing track

>>52942739
>Also, White Light > Children of God when it comes to post-punk Swans ;)
Mein neger.

Are there any really great post-punk revival albums? I know the National is lumped in there, but I always considered them more Baroque Pop. Plus bands like LCD Soundsystem, while definitely influenced by Post-Punk, were more dance-y. Are modern Post-Punk bands more influenced by the genre, or do they stay true to the original sound?

I almost forgot to mention that a while I go I was really into Polish post-punk. I have to admit that I've only listened t the two most popular acts from the 80's, but still.

In RYM there seems to be a lot more of there.

Also the Serbian Ekatarina Velika that seems to be huge with people there.

>>52942850
when a new bands is trying to replicate a old post-punk bands it's called post-punk revival( example: Interpol copied The Chameleons and My Dad Is Dead)
but when new band tries to do it's own thing it's called post-punk
example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1sj9tpNiaA&list=PLF960ED2FE9097944
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK44hviu5qo
at least that's how I see it

>>52942891
the poles are amazing at making coldwave.

>>52942766
Yeah I have to agree on that to some extent. The reason I actually liked Content Nausea were the lyrics and their delivery, which brought back that "individual vs. (pop)culture" feel that I think shapes the, hmm, thematic approach and to a different extend the musical approach of post-punk as a genre.
Still, yeah, most of the stuff that get's released nowadays is safe as fuck and closer the "indie rock with post-punk vibe" rather to the opposite.
Also that clapping.

>>52942920
I've always wanted to see them live.
I've heard some of their stuff, they at least with the people I know are kinda famous, but I wasn't really charmed, sounding good isn't enough for me. Still it's good to see bands like that on local ground.

>>52942920
on the balkan theme, can we call Pekinska Patka post-punk? They fit the thematic part of the genre but when it comes to sound I think they are a lot closer to clean old punk.

some nice discussion going on here


Can anyone recommend me some really good punk albums from recent years? up for new things here

>>52943027
yeah, I'd say that there definitely post-punk, it's too subtle too be punk
also cool band name
>>52942975
that's why I love em, honestly, I've been itching for local post-punk, plus their second albums sounds good, even if it's a little underwhelming
>>52943072
Ought - More Than Any Other Day
Snowman - The Horse, the Rat and the Swan
Women - Public Strain
Protomartyr - Under Color of Official Right
Toneta - 777

i found a postpunk band with 11 listeners on lastfm and it was actually really good lol http://www.last.fm/music/MORBIDI+I+MNO%C4%86I

between these guys and Paraf i guess ive been listening to quite a bit of yugoslavian postpunk

>>52942891
if you like polish postpunk you should listen to Manaam's first album. its more new wave silliness than grim coldness but its still fun and good

>>52943162
what yugoslavian post-punk band should I look into?

>>52943027
That album is post-punk but PP are generally more remembered for being the first Yugoslavian punk band than anything else.
Here's some Croatian post-punk from back in the day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMynLsfJ63I

Sexa became a full-on noise rock band later on(and one of the best European noise rock bands of all time to boot), but they started out as a weird funk-goth-no wave sort of band.

>>52943201
Paraf's album Izleti is soooo good

>>52943182
I prefer no wave silinnes, but I'll give it a try. Listening to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh8ZqQS1EPM

thanks, will look into it

>>52942808
It's unique for sure and I totally appreciate it but I can't love it on a personal level.
>>52942828
I find it to be criminally underrated when it's one of the best records amongst their discog.
>>52943072
Women is as good as it gets and they don't really sound post-punk

Also, if anybody can direct me towards more Austrian post-punk bands I'd be grateful. Basically all I know is from Körperteile/Teilkörper, a great compilation album.

>>52944360
huh, this sounds cool and funky, surprised they didn't get more recognition
>>52944411
this is not my field of specialty, but check out Bain Wolfkind - Music for Lovers and Gangsters
though it's more gothic rock than post-punk

>>52944454
Thanks for the rec. Sounds great!
