File Updates - The Goodbye Celebration

More of The Goodbye Celebration's earlier stuff has been found! An unreleased single from 2004, and a track from 2002 (which in the metadata says it was part of their self titled along with "Razorblades Never Looked So Good... though I'm not sure a S/T exists or not so I'll just put it here as a bonus single). 

Which, the title of their "Unknown EP" has been found to be "Spin His Record... It Makes Your Heart Beat" through metadata as well; so I made myself some recreated cover art with that info.

Thanks to biti on slsk for the files!

"This EP progresses from their demo, while introducing a lot of new sounds into the mix, like experimenting with folk singing, spoken word, and predominant electronic elements; distorting their sampling to a larger extent. Just as good as the last, I can only hope they go up from here. My only tiny nitpick is some of the sampling choices seemed out of place. A small detail I adore is the tape-changing sounds and differing audio mixing that sounds akin Tear Down December's rough demos (very out there reference but it just came to mind).

"I find myself just blown away by this demo... something about it, I can't put my finger on it. I hate myself for not discovering these guys sooner, I was introduced thanks to The Battle at Kiganjima Island. A lot of aspects remind me of picking up where Merchant Ships, The Kodan Armada and The Brave Little Abacus left off. We are in the onset of a beautiful, emotional, atmospheric screamo scene with so many years of retrospection and material behind us. This 3-piece from West Lafayette, Indiana has some great concepts in the works... I'll post their Janurary EP tomorrow and review that as well, I just really needed to stress the importance of giving these guys a listen as soon as I could. I've listened to this demo like 5 times already."

"I meant to post this earlier on its release (since it released Halloween). It's not often I listen to this genre... but oh boy am I glad I did. The frontman, Butcher, from the band sent this my way; a group of horror fanatics from Akron, Ohio whose aesthetic is unrivaled, inspired by horror flicks and grindhouse horror, comes a tasteful embodiment of edge and grime (without coming across as pretentious). It's an album I recommend listening to all at once, and brings me back to Loss (2006)... though, hot take: I like this a whole lot more, especially toward the album's latter half. Sludgy guitarwork, upfront bass, and impassioned vocalization work together to create allegorical images, allowing for absolute immersion. Show these dudes some love, seriously."

"This band is so refreshing to the ears, a blend of beautiful melodic emo, indie/alternative, and post hardcore to make for a pleasant experience. No track limit themselves to a stagnant cadence, yet doesn't feel bloated, remains sincere all the way through. Stay posted on these guys; I'm serious. Was sent this by Sam from the band, who's also a listener of the blog (what a chad)!"

"If you ask me the best Norma Jean album, without any doubts I'll call this one and Redeemer. Despite Bless the Martyr was really good, since O God the Aftermath their music became much more interesting and rich in songwriting terms. This album sounds like Botch tried to play sludge metal, such a perfect mix. It contains songs full of chaos and badass dissonant breakdowns, songs full of almost post hardcore hysteria and meditative sludge/post metal ballads at the same time, embracing incredibly wide emotional specter. By the way, Shaun Luu is one of the best sludge metal songs ever made, sadly it doesn't available on any streaming platforms. Also pretty incredible that fact what they still make great new music through all the years, without any mediocre self-copying (hello, Architects) and major genre changes. I can call really few bands what could do that."

Been in the middle of a move, got to help my friend move his stuff over from PA to NY so I won't be able to post for a few days.
