so, I have been ignoring this until Bridgefag decided to mention it again for me here >>/6420/ and I was kind of expecting some EDM/electronic music from the fanbase....and oh boy, if Bridgefag recommended it to me after his post and alludes to me, then he knows something that fits according of my taste... and turns out that you were right. I mean, I have given it a couple of listens and...what is this? >>/6337/ > Have an old Le Soldat Pony album that doesn't exist anymore thanks and by the way, it still exists. I am saying this because I have the entire album downloaded and there are files on Soulseek in 320 kbps . The wonderful world of piracy works like the underground archive that no one dares to admit in the media. >>/6420/ > Some of these songs are haunting. especially the closer and the opener. I have yet to dive into the lyrics even though there are not that many. > I know a certain /endpone/r who would probably dig a lot of this. geee, I wonder who he might referring to with this line. *rolls eyes Now seriously, you are correct with this statement. It´s familiar territory for me..what I didn´t expect that is that the work was consistent front to back in one listen. While the haunting and distant sound fits right in my comfort zone, I am not all that deep when it comes to this style. Not because of the feelings transmitted but more like the music genres to tag for this record. If I had to put some kind of approximate tagging for Artemis is that it blends Minimalism (Ambient), Post Rock (first wave) and Spoken Word. The voices sound quite distant by the way and the closest example that reminds me of this practice is Daniel Johnston (whose discography I have yet to dig properly and I should do that at some point). Then the minimal part with the drums and piano sounds like Tortoise/Slint but this album is too static to even compare with those two(especially Tortoise). But yeah, you could mix almost any track of this record and I would mistake it with any other song from a post-rock, minimal playlist. So, I am pleasantly surprised so far.
