When I noticed Jonas Renske wearing a Slowdive shirt in band photo, I figured their music would incorporate unique influences (for the time the album was released). I've enjoyed all Katatonia albums since Discouraged Ones other than their most recent release, which is beginning to seem more formulaic and less innovative. Maybe I just need to give it a few more listens.


Great cold distance was when they really started to lose me. I even went to see them on that tour and it was one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

Les Voyages de l'Âme

When you feel like Falls of Rauros put this on. Not that they have anything in common, but you can't just be in any frame of mind and listen to it.

Whereas falls makes you think of Tolkien and the forest, Alcest makes you think of a late summer sunset, when you are happy because it's a beautiful sunset but you know that the summer is gone.

Then go backwards and forwards in their discography from that album.
More like THE LAME VOYAGE.



jk this is really rad thanks for the rec.
