does anyone else like this band? been jamming their stuff a lot while I'm at work. I hear them getting compared to neurosis a lot but I think neurosis are kind of boring and these guys are alright. some cello-y godspeed you black emperor type buildups, long songs that fall into a rad groove, and it's all about watership down. yes.
this giant box set just came up for preorder and I'm considering getting it. 6 LPS on 180g vinyl, lots of art and stuff. mehhh, maybe not.

Have you listened to all (very differing) eras of Neurosis? I can see why you might find current Neurosis boring (though I don't), but the 90's has some great rocking Neurosis records, like Souls at Zero and Times of Grace.

Tyler if you think Neurosis are boring you clearly don't smoke weed.

It took me awhile to really "get" them. I don't smoke a lot of weed, but I think that shit unlocked the "understanding" mechanism of my brain.

I used to love Neurosis when I was younger, then I smoked weed and decided I'd rather hear Burning Witch. Although that being said they were one of the most mind-blowing live bands I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing.
Never heard Fall of Efrafa, and if they sound like Neurosis I guess I probably don't need to.

yeah that
the whole post-rock-meta-ambient-wtf tidal wave that hit us around 2006 pretty much killed my desire to listen to anything remotely copying neurosis. i used to love that shit too... unfortunate

Someone suggested them to me and I've given Owlsa quite a few plays.
I find them boring but not because they're anything like Neurosis, I hadn't thought of that parallel.
I forget really. And don't have anything constructive to say, maybe besides that if a dude doesn't like post-hardcore-ish stuff that dude is an asshole.
I think you should get that boxed set, I would listen to it with you Tyler.
Apparently they played their last show this October.
