I can't believe I'm starting a thread on these guys, but I haven't seen a discussion about them in ages and I just listen to them so much that I have to talk to someone about it.
I know that a lot of people don't like them or consider them dredg ripoffs, but I have always loved basically everything they've put out and I think that their all fantastic guys. I remember seeing them before they got big when they were opening for dredg and the truth is that their demeanor and personalities were all the same they day that I saw them and talked with them on the Warped Tour last August (with Zach, which was when I first learned that he is the man).
Anyway, their music is very relevant in my life - my wife and I listened to it almost exclusively when we were going through very painful things with our family, partly because so much of the record seemed to parallel our lives (the same thing happened with us with "Set Sail the Prairie" and the conception and birth of our son). I don't like the production of "On Letting Go" at all, but the songs are just so fantastic to me and I love the record from beginning to end. "Juturna" is the same way, but I think the mood and texture of the record is much more enriching and uniquely haunting.
What do you all think of them? Any stories/thoughts/opinions?
