Non-Punk With Strings Roundup #1
Like the Non-Strings Roundups, every once in a while I want to post a few things that don't quite fit the theme of the blog, but that I think readers would enjoy. This batch is of bands/albums that have string instruments but don't have enough punk influence for me to post about them otherwise.
Sans Soleil - A Holy Land Beneath A Godless Sky (2014)
Hard-to-categorize instrumental doom/post-rock with viola from Austin, TX, USA featuring members of Dead to a Dying World. Unsure if there will be any future releases from them.
Aradia (2015-present)
(Mostly) instrumental post-rock with viola and cello from Portland, OR, USA. Crust-adjacent/has a punk ethos.
The Pirate Ship Quintet (2007-2012)
Post-rock/screamo with cello from Bristol, UK.
Strangeweather (2013-present)
Hard-to-categorize folk punk-ish band with cello from Portland, OR, USA.
Subrosa (2006-present)
Doom with violins and a female vocalist from Salt Lake City, UT, USA.
Hex Partners (2013-present)
Instrumental "acoustic doom" with a violin from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Ivan - Strewn Across Stars (2017)
Funeral doom/sludge with violin from VIC, Australia.
Distances (violin added in 2015)
Post-metal with violin from Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.
Let me know if you have any recommendations for bands in a similar vein!

Respire is a blackened screamo band from Toronto, Canada that incorporates various unconventional instruments into their music (saxophone, glockenspiel, trumpet, violin, viola, cello, etc)
I've been looking forward to this release for a while.
Respire's previous album, Gravity and Grace is highly recommended, but the cello/viola parts weren't significant enough for me to post it here. With this new album, however, Respire has incorporated a violinist/violist into their main lineup.
Album Description
All tracks include violin/viola

Non-Strings Roundup #3: The Unknown
Labels:
crust,
neocrust,
non-strings,
post-rock
Every once in a while I upload a few things that don't have string instruments. This batch is of bands that I've stumbled upon and really enjoy, but, as far as I can tell, are not very well known (judging by listeners on Last.fm; not necessary a good metric but oh well).
Pay For Progress - Demo (2013)
Epic crust with dual male/female vocals from Russia. Both of the vocalists have really unique voices that I can't get enough of. This is going to be a longer-than-usual write-up as I don't think that I can hype this band enough. Their 3 song demo was released on Bandcamp, but they also have various other demo recordings floating around the internet, and, if they are indicative of what's to come, I have no doubt that their next release is going to be phenomenal.
I've included both a link to the demo and a download of the various other recordings that I've found online. Make sure to download the VK rips and listen to all of them as they are pretty varied (but are all fantastic). Also note that the "Репетиция (Decline)" track is not the full song, but you can see a live video of the full track on the band's VK.

Psykos - Hospitalsgården (2010)
Post-rock/crust from Sweden. This is a band that I can find almost zero information about, but they are one of the very, very few that I've found that try to mix post-rock and crust. Stumbled across it on Bandcamp a while back and have been enjoying it ever since.
Flagelo - Demo (2012)
One-man melodic crust/neocrust band from Brazil. I don't have much information about this band either, and, unfortunately, the tracks are streaming-only, but I hope to hear more from this guy, as these two demo tracks are really, really great.
Hvøsch - Demo 'Repetition I Happy Lobster' (2013)
Epic crust from Russia. If you like Owsla-era Fall of Efrafa, you will (probably) enjoy Hvøsch, as this is about as close to Fall of Efrafa worship as I've ever heard. Lucky for me, that is right up my alley.
Update: Since their initial demo, Hvøsch have tweaked their sound in a more black metal direction and dropped the crust. I've uploaded the original demo here if anyone is interested.

Dimlaia - Dimlaia (2003)
Dimlaia formed in 1998 in Memphis, Tennessee before relocating to Oakland, California. Their sound is a unique take on the traditional crust band, blending sludge and dark hardcore accompanied by Violin and Cello. Dimlaia created a sonically dark and dramatic sound-scape compositions drenched with soothing melodies and grey atmospherics.
