Can we have a slowcore thread? I think discussion about this genre is criminally underrated and we never talk about it here and many albums in the genre are 10/10s. What're your favorite albums in the genre? Bands? Anything obscure I should check out?
>underrated
It's not. Mark Kozelek is all anyone wants to talk about these days. And remember when that Duster album was being spammed everywhere?
Codeine is awesome obviously.
Hows the new The New Year? Last I checked they put previews on lockdown and the single was shit.

It leaked about a week ago. I've been enjoying it. Not AOTY by any stretch but enough to warrant purchase, for me.
>>72519700
This dudes name is really codeine?
Rec me some slowcore that isn't limp wristed and melodramatic.
>>72519913
Literally doesn't exist
>>72519913
I'm pretty sure that's the definition of slowcore.
>>72519785
It sounds basically the same as all their past records, whether or not that's bad is up to you.
Hell, they've been doing basically the same thing since Bedhead.
>>72519913
It's impossible to play slowcore with a functioning wrist.
>>72519913
Bedhead- Haywire
Red House Painters- Between Days
Low- Everybodys Song
Red House Painters- Fly Away
maybe those songs aren't "slowcore" but they are from slowcore bands
yee
>>72519700
love, claire is a 10. Should be able to find on soulseek
>>72519913
A lot of Galaxie 500 songs are detached and decently muscular. Strange, Another Day, and Temperature's Rising would fit the bill.
>>72520135
dude listen to the guy's high pitched squeal on Strange. that band is just as "effeminate" as any other slowcore band.
>>72520172
Maybe. But not the instrumentation. And other than his pitch being whiny there's nothing effeminate about his singing.
>>72519700
codeine and bedhead are what's up
red house painters have a couple good songs but overall suck
low sucks and carissa's wierd suck
mainly just codeine and bedhead were good
Thee More Shallows - A History of Sport Fishing

>But not the instrumentation
their rhythm section is lazy as shit, definitely not what I think of when I hear the word "muscular". Codeine's White Birch is much more muscular in that regard, not to mention the production has a far less hazy and dreamy sound which often gets called "effeminate".
and there's clearly an introspective melancholic vibe to the vocals just as in any other slowcore band
>>72520259
Bedhead sucks tho
>>72520259
Garbage opinion
>>72520386
you have bad taste in music
>>72520465
nah i'm right
codeine and bedhead were good
the rest of the genre sucked
also sun kil moon > red house painters
>>72520479
Low>Codeine>RHP>Carissa's Wierd>Bedhead
>>72520514
are you high
>>72520535
All of those bands are great
>>72520575
Oh ok, i thought you were discrediting Carissas Wierd and Bedhead as being crap, I mean i wish i could write songs like Bedside Table and Liferaft or Someday's are better than others and Florescent lights.
>>72520259
Bedhead are really bad and so is your opinion
>>72520755
Prove it
>>72520755
dude bedhead are fucking astonishingly good
are you deaf?
