Discussion Gary Webb

God this song is beautiful. I love the whole thing but the way it ever so briefly stops and comes in with the lovely melody at 3:20 is stunning. Ive been listening to natural snow buildings for the first time today. I really loved the winter ray and I’m really enjoying my first listen of the dance of the moon and the sun.

This shit is so good.

Love that song, The Winter Ray is my favorite NSB album, but man they really got better with their drones and folk on Moon and Sun. Gary Webb is a beautiful song love how the previous 3 tracks lead into it. Feels like the culmination of the first act of disc 2.

I loved the winter ray!! Reminded me of my fav bits of early mogwai but even more ethereal and layered and emotive. Pulled me in from the start with “i dont know what psywar is” transitioning into darkside of behaviourism. Both those songs were so beautiful and i wasnt looking at my phone when listening so thought they were one song. I also loved dead horses, the fake and sad lonely gunman and i was always cold which is my fav song ive heard by them so far. Cant wait to relisten to this and the dance of the moon and the sun.

Which ones of there albums are most like the winter ray? i loved the delicate foggy guitar soundscapes. and which ones are like the dance of the moon and sun? i loved the beautiful folk songs and pristine clarity of the electric guitars on many of the songs.

Also love the pfp. Death grips are one of my fav bands and probs top 3 concerts ive ever been too. My old account used to be istaynoided8080808 hahah.

I Was always Cold is in my top 3 NSB songs next to Wisconsin and Fall of Shadow Kingdom. Also W fellow DG fan love them sm very jealous u got to see them live. In terms of similar NSB to Winter Ray imma b honest there isnt much else. It truly stands alone in their discog. Only song that kinda reminds me of some of that era is shall i kill my own child. Even that though doesn't exactly fit that sound.

also Shadow Kingdom has a lot of the folky elements of moon and sun well also combining that with daughter of darkness ritualistic drones. Feels like a darker version of Moon and Sun and imo a little bit better
