Overhead, The Albatross ~ Learning to Growl / I Leave You This
Post-rock fans, if you’re not already familiar with Ireland’s Overhead, The Albatross, this is a great time to play catch-up, as both of the band’s LPs are being repressed this fall. Learning to Growl is already out on die-cut CD and

Ranges ~ Sin
What’s in the box? Not, as one might reasonably expect from the concept, Gwyneth Paltrow’s head. Instead, a lucky 77 will receive 7 7″ records and 37 will also receive 7 pieces of ephemera: a shot glass, cigar, matches, poker

Din of Celestial Birds ~ The Night Is for Dreamers
Let’s start with one of the early singles, “Downpour,” because it captures a quintessential festival moment: the band is on stage, the skies open, the deluge falls and the players keep playing. Leeds quintet Din of Celestial Birds witnessed this drama in

Indignu ~ Adeus

Baulta ~ Another Second Chance
Finland post-rock quartet Baulta has emerged from the pandemic with a new album, prefaced by a pair of singles and a unified look. All the post-rock hallmarks are here: slow builds, big hooks, peaks and valleys, a sense of catharsis. The quartet

Pillars ~ Cavum
Can a post-rock band be both massive AND melodic? Absolutely. This is the arena of Indianapolis (Indiana) quartet Pillars, who live so close to October’s POST! festival that they can sleep in their own beds. “Dissolution” was the album’s lead single,
