It's in the UK in between a town and the village where I live. The river near the village is usually quite busy with dog walkers, but once you cross a side river (tributary?) then there's no one about. To access it from the town you have to cross a train track which I guess puts people off too, but it's so worth it.

It's such a beautiful walk and there's benches and little fishing huts which are great places for BBQs!

The one downside is a nearby factory, but I think it can look quite beautiful sometimes.

If you're into Toe then I'd happily recommend you some similar bands.

Yeah, please do recommend some more. I'm always open to checking out different veins of things!

American Football, DARTZ!, Empire! Empire, Enemies, Fish Tank, Maybeshewill, Minus the Bear, Pele, Piglet, Renaissance Sound, The Speed of Sound in Seawater, Tangled Hair, Thieves of the American Dream, This Town Needs Guns, 3nd, 14 foot 1, 65 Days Of Static.

Dorena, We All Inherit the Moon, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, Oak, (The) Slowest Runner (In All The World), God is An Astronaut.

I tried to choose a few and I ended up with too many, it's too hard to choose between them! The first lot are quite up-beat and most are described as math rock, I believe. The second lot are more ambient and instrumental, great for when you're working.

All (or most) of them fall under the post rock genre, which if you can't tell, I love!

Cheers! I have a few Mogwai CDs stashed away somewhere, but all the rest are new to me. Looks like a nice list to work through of a Sunday!

Factories can be really beautiful at times. I've been driving through Billings MT at night and have enjoyed the glow of lights from the mills or down-river Detroit and see the billowing smoke stacks set against a sunset. Also, inside the factories hearing the hydraulics and the grinding of metal, seeing the rainbows in the coolant, all of this can be quite beautiful.
