I agree, start with the Mantle, but move quickly into Pale Folklore and Ashes Against the Grain. Follow that with the White EP.
Give me some time and I can cook up an Agalloch mega-post. (no promises, though, the internet is painfully slow for me sometimes) Update: looks like that already happened.

Well, I was at a show last night for a couple of local black metal acts, both of whom absolutely killed. Abigail Williams was headlining, and everyone was really hesitant to stick around, but since they made sure that the show was free, we all felt obligated to at least stick around for a couple of songs as a thank you. We all kind of mugged at each other because, hey, isn't Abigail Williams that awful wannabe black metal metalcore band?
Then they got onstage and played one of the most legit shows I have seen in a long damn time. No bullshit, just straight badass black metal in the vein of Immortal and Enslaved. Even though the two bands that got up before them have a lot more cred, these guys have seriously changed in a very big way, and if you have an interest in black metal at all, you owe it to yourself to give their new album a shot.

I'm a little burnt out on ripping at the moment (largely because the Nurse With Wound album is proving exceedingly difficult to parse out into a tracklist) but I've still got a few things up. I'm going to take a little break.
Margot - France 2 EP
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Italian du Margot arrive at Border Community with their debut for the label: a four-track EP kicking off with title track 'France 2', an arpeggiating tribute to the sorts of electrohouse sounds that have been emanating from Gallic shores over the past few years. After this strong opening, 'Voci Giaga' continues along similar lines, piling on the synth melodies, only for a drifting monotone vocal to whisper its way into the mix, leaving you with an off-kilter but compelling dancefloor pop oddity. On the B-side, 'H2' fires up some spiralling organic disco, leaving 'Oceano' to close the set with brooding, kosmische bass figures and weird percussive details.

Excepter - Late / Tank Tapes
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---New York's "...premiere improvisatory, vocal-and-electronics cosmic beat-box band..." return to Woodsist with a brilliant side of loopy hypnotics, including an insert code for free digital download of the 2007 cassette-only release for Tank Tapes redeemable directly from the label. All four tracks are previously unreleased, arms-out eyes-shut wanders through darkly tinted terrain. 'Oboh' opens up with what sounds like reversed field recordings made inside a washing machine at a Native American ritual ceremony, before 'Lal8' intrepidly changes tack into a forest of doomy 808 bass hits and spectral, gangly theremin-like drones looming in from the edges. On the flip is a live recording of two tracks from a show at Glass Lands in early 2010. This side starts with the howling avant-darkwave expressions of 'Anastasia', skeletal 808 punching you in the stomach and arabesque synthline floating like drunken flies around your hollow eyes while raspy voices howl like Cold Cave gone feral. The magnificently titled 'Cat P*ss & Licorice' brings us back to the start with a freeform arrangement of fluttering drones and echoic voices joined by skin-crawling electronics, almost like some TG piece until a sublime music box melody perfumes the air and all settles into an opiated mush. Get in.
