On their debut album The Aches and the End, Flint Moore channel raw vulnerability — from the acoustic despair of 'Undermask' through the urgent bass pulse of 'Me Alive' to the cathartic release of 'Long Way, Same Ground' — into a single, cohesive narrative. Forged by the fire of their five unique talents and the guiding hand of producer Tom Peters, the music moves from crisis to healing with unflinching honesty and hard‑won hope.

Post-rock is alive and thriving, as Din of Celestial Birds amply proves. The Leeds-based outfit were on their third and last day of touring, together with Solars and FORT, getting ready for a matinee show at Rough Trade Bristol. We had a chat in a sunny park about writing music remotely, post-rock as an emotional outlet, how their day jobs feed into how they approach setup and their upcoming performance at CAN festival in Zhoushan, China.
