I HEAR SIRENS - ACHERON, Belgian DUNK RECORDS/POST RECORDINGS DNK24196/POST047, 2025.
ORIGINAL Belgian ISSUE with G/F Sleeve, Limited Post Dunk Blues Edition, Purple/Black Double Vortex Vinyl, Still in the Shrink (partially off/split).
Superb US Post-Rock/Experimental... their latest album.If there’s one thing that we cannot figure out about I Hear Sirens is how they’re still not world famous. Their brand of post-rock truly belongs amongst the greatest of the genres, amongst the Mogwai’s, the Russian Circles’, the Ranges’ and Pelican’s for its emotional grip an evocative nature is just as compelling as that of the aforementioned. The most cathartic of all post-rock bands on the Dunk roster, I Hear Sirens are true masters of their craft, sapiently blending more breezy and airy crescendos with more angular riffs, for a sound that is both punchy and gentle.
Their latest records “Acheron” reached new pinnacles of brilliance, displaying more of the band’s innate qualities at building cathartic walls of sounds and gripping crescendos. From the purely blissful to the more aggressive, Acheron explored a wide range of sonorities and “moods” while never shying away from post-rock pragmatism, delivering blow and blow of electrifying build-up-to-climax awesomeness! From “Nocturnal” ethereal ambiance to Pale Rider chilling arpeggios and In Absentia hauntingly beautiful progression, Acheron was a true feat for any post-rock lover, showing once again how I Hear Sirens belong amongst the giants of the genre, rightfully claiming their spot on the post-rock Mount Olympus.
Bad puns aside, as we said at the incipit, it’s honestly shocking how they’re still not on everyone’s classic playlist, but we’re happy to settle for the “best kept secret in post-rock” award and bring them over to the festival once again so that you may see and hear for yourself what we’re raving about here.
Tracks are: Side 1: Watcher/Prey, Acheron, Pale Rider, Requiem. Side 2: 011, Nocturnal, In Absentia, Atropos.
Long sold out, special edition pressed for the 2025 Dunk Festival limited to just 100 copies.
A really nice copy.
Condition is Mint/Mint (cover/record), cover has no cutout.

NOTE: Ebay now charge their seller fees on the postage & any VAT/Sales Taxes paid... so the actual cost of postage for international items is quite a lot higher.
PAYMENT:
PERSONAL CHEQUES IN UK STERLING/ PAYPAL.
GRADINGS:
I DO TRY TO PLAY/TEST GRADE ALL THE LPs I SELL.
MINT:
RECORD: PERFECT...AS NEW CONDITION, SO NO DETEORIATION IN THE SOUND QUALITY…bear in mind that not all ‘new’ LPs are Mint because of the quality of the pressing etc...also SEALED/UNPLAYED LPs should be Mint.
COVER: AS NEW CONDITION WITH NO OBVIOUS DEFECTS.
M-: RECORD: SLIGHTY WORSE THAN Mint, LP may have the odd surface mark due to removal from its sleeve etc…but should have minimal noise and is still in great condition.
COVER: SHOWS SIGNS OF BEING HANDLED WITH THE ODD CREASE/TINY BIT OF WEAR or a Mint cover with a deletion/cutout hole or notch.
EX: RECORD: MOST REGUARLY PLAYED LPs KEPT WITH CARE FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY...LP may play with more hiss/slight crackle but not louder than the music.
COVER: SLIGHTLY MORE WEAR/CREASING/BENDING even some very slight ring wear...or may be a M or M- cover with a tiny split seam or a tiny sticker tear, but still nice.
EX-: Record & Cover a bit worse than EX, but better than VG+.
VG+: RECORD: LP PLAYS WITH MORE NOISE DUE TO EITHER DIRT OR STRONGER SURFACE MARKS BUT NO BAD MARKS/SCRATCHES and is STILL IS IN A VERY LISTENABLE CONDITION though starting to affect the music to some extent.
COVER: HAS QUITE A LOT OF CEASING/BENDING often with FADING/RING WEAR/ STICKER TEARS/TEARS...or may be an EX cover with a split seam(s).
NOTE: Any buyers looking for reasonably nice playing records should avoid anything below VG+.
VG: Not exactly ‘Very Good’, an often-misinterpreted grade, most VG records I’ve bought have some obvious defects affecting the record and/or cover. RECORD: THE SOUND QUALITY OF IS AFFECTED BY SURFACE MARKS/ LESSER AUDIBLE MARKS/SCRATCHES or DIRT etc...but still plays through and is still in quite a REASONABLE condition for playing, though obviously affecting the music to a greater extent.
COVER: PLENTY OF CREASING/BENDING/FADING/RING WEAR but still in one piece.
G: LP still plays through but is very noisy due to scratches/dirt etc....but still not totally trashed!
COVER: AS VG BUT TORN and starting to fall apart.
F/P: LP is trashed...for ornament purposes only.
PLEASE NOTE GRADING IS SUBJECTIVE AND EVERYONE CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION (for instance, some sellers don’t grade below VG). Myself, I think there should be an obvious difference between each grade.
