Only 1 minute ago and II see this album as the album of the day! Awesome!

Edit: "Leaves Turn Inside You" is one of the greatest albums to introduce you to the post-hardcore genre, which aside having nice compositions with slight gritty dissonances like many of Unwound's songs throughout their whole career, is impressively ambitious with some few electronic synth elements and long & epic compositions, especially for an album which is the last one in their discography.

Unwound's post-hardcore is grittier, gloomier and murkier, so their music is gonna hit you like a train.

II remember mainly discovering Unwound on RYM a while back and II still remember the effect of their music, which reminded me of Slint but faster.
It took me way long afterwards to discover they both belong to the post-hardcore genre.
Slint's sound is way slower than the average post-hardcore, but their influential album "Spiderland" is a predecessive amalgamation of post-rock, post-hardcore, math rock & slowcore, which funnily enough, all the songs on Spiderland don't sound very close to each genre's main definitions, since it's an amalgamation, yet as a result, it has influenced all of these genres even 'till this day!

If you already like Slint, then you'll possibly like Unwound, but if you prefer the slow tempo of Slint's songs, then you should check Duster, but if you disprefer dissonant compositions, then you should check the best slowcore could offer for you, and if you prefer the songs being faster and rockier again however less dissonant, then you should check Mass of the Fermenting Dregs.
