A Hairshirt of Purpose

by Pile

supported by

sonic_bert_92 Album bought at the same time as "Green and gray" of the same group and a shock of the same level. Post rock, math rock, post hardcore sometimes mixed in the same song. A wide range of sounds and moods.

luka malatestinić seldom before or since has a band been able to capture the emotions this album does with such effectiveness, in songwriting, performance, and sound. Favorite track: leaning on a wheel.

stuck-trucks-botch-notch strong band of the decade contender Favorite track: Texas.
