Ha, I just realized I did that to you in two different threads. Sorry, I'm sick and bored at home today.

what post-punk do you listen to Fincher?

Echo & The Bunnymen, New Order, The Cure, and songs I pick up here and there (for example, I like "Giddy Stratospheres" by The Long Blondes, which was in the PT thread). I'm not that well versed in it, but I'm definitely more receptive to post-punk than I have been to punk.

Does anyone know of any bands that sound remotely like Comus? I've attempted to find anything that has the same primal feel to it, but no such luck. At risk of gushing, they seem to be an anomaly.

have you tried Exuma or Simon Finn's Pass the Distance?

Fincher · **Posted:** Mon Mar 11, 2013 6:21 pm

No. Are those post-punk? I ask because a quick Wikipedia search called them reggae/calypso and psych-folk.

I believe he's recommending those to Gatsby. And, Yoush, those are fine albums, but you don't think they bear that much resemblance to Comus musically do you? Other than having folk roots?

All three of those albums are anomalies, but they are all amazing.

Exuma's probably as close to Comus as you can get I'd say.
There really isn't anything that's legitimately close to Comus though. Gatsby I'm assuming you've already tried out more popular modern tribal stuff like Animal Collective and Tune Yards?

This is a request for a recommendation -

I'm looking for an album that kind of encompasses black history as a whole - one that has elements of gospel, hip hop, jazz, r&b, reggae, African stuff, whatever. Are there any albums out there that are like this?

Are you looking for single artist or compilation? For compliation the companion CD set to a really good music history textbook is probably your best bet.

Espers.

Espers II was a really good album.

I've actually heard a bit of that album. It's pretty dope.
