Tuesday: Shoulders And Giants

I walked about 6.4 km today (September 11th ). The weather was excellent. It was dark when i started at 6:50. I focused to keep a constant pace and rhythm. Secondly i had to change my breathing. I listened to "Collapse Under The Empire" and 3 tracks of "Les Discrets" from the 2010 album "Septembre et ses Dernieres Pensees".  Post-Rock sound is really fantastic for walking/running. Last week i listened to "Crippled Black Phoenix" and "If These Trees Could Talk". Those were fantastic too.

Two Thumbs Up Les Discrets

I listen to this french post-rock/shoegaze band and it's so beautiful, really catchy music and some excellent lyrics. Specifically i like the way they integrated Paul Verlaine's poem in their decent tunes. I'm hugely impressed by the shoegazey taste!

My Album of The Month (April 2012)

Winterhalter

Artist: Les Discrets
Album: Septembre et Ses Dernières Pensées
Year: 2010
This is good, i mean really good; close to my heart. This french band really rocked my soul and pave a perfect entry to shoegazing realm. of course the genre is the subject of dispute, as they can be categorized as post-metal or post-rock as well. But shoegaze define the thing better; with characteristic impact on listener; left me detached, mesmerized and  drown in beautiful tunes. The sound is a mixture of distorted guitar, muffled vocals and throbbing drums.
