"coming into the nearness of distance"

lostpilot

yeah, I like them too.

it's really interesting, how they balance between the almost-mall-emo/indie genre and the generic post-rock. Pneuma is a wonderful album, though sometimes I wish they would be a little more experimental and innovative. And as for the new album/EP, I tried listening to it once, did not really grow on me. Can't even remember why.

They've got this nice summerish vibe.

i really like the "forward" EP it came at a perfect time for me. and yes the warm summerish vibe is there! thye make me feel good

I downloaded their album Pneuma like a year ago and didn't think much of it, but now it's starting to sound pretty good man. Definitely not your regular post rock, or your regular indie rock. It's a cool combination of both like lostpilot said. They have something cool going on that can't be described.

Edit. Oh, and could you guys upload the new EP, I'd love to check it out.

Here you go man:

the thing is, they have a very tight sound. you can hear all their loves and frustrations in every note. very sincere sounding and it moves me :)

oh yes, wither-I, 'sincere' is quite a good word to describe Moving Mountains' music.

I don't know, there is something off with the mix and vocals.
They are ruining it for me.
Maybe it's because of the shitty rip? Please be so.. They were always amazing with "all-head" masterings, but the vocals here sound like on the radio.
Songs are okay-ish. Not Pneuma level, but they changed anyway.
I love Tired Tiger.

Supposedly it is a webrip, so that could explain what you're talking about. I didn't think the rip was THAT shitty, but we'll see when we get a better rip (should be soon). That opening track is killer, as is Tired Tiger.

I still haven't listened to all of it.
Waiting for a better rip maybe?
With two albums, thesis, relationship and exams on my nose I don't have much time nowadays..

Starz

I prefer this new stuff too their E.P. but will wait for a better rip

wither-I

its good. but will never live up to pneuma. that album is too good for its own good.
