We Followed Tigers. Not exactly post rock, but you'll probably be bored of all thes other bands soon.

[Sleepy]

65daysofstatic

[The Great Decay]

I just listened to a couple Russian Circles jams, and they were decent.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I endorse the last 2 posts.

[Elliptical Ion]

Té is a good listen.

[pixiesfanyo]

Té is a good listen.

I'll agree.

[Boilermaker]

Slint - Spiderland

Everyone pretty much agrees it's a classic. I'm not a huge post-rock fan but I love this record.

Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Bark Psychosis - Hex
Tortoise - TNT

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Slint - Spiderland
Tortoise - TNT
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

[Eliminator]

Lets all suggest the same albums over and over

[iamrockzorz]

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

what

Not you, the guy above me. Who reccomended three first wave albums.

[iamrockzorz]

lol i realized that afterwards. thanks for the recommendations guys. a lot of it im liking, but i think ive found enough to keep me happy for a while. if i get into too much too quick i usually get sick of it quickly

[Zebra]

Are you only into first wave?

I'm not only into first wave however I tend to enjoy it more then recent post-rock releases. I always recommend those albums because it's hard to deny the awesomeness of them regardless of what style of post-rock you enjoy.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ah, kay. I was just curious.

[niobium]

DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE IN THIS THREAD GET SLINT - SPIDERLAND

[iamrockzorz]

[ThePinkPanther]

Esmerine

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

65daysofstatic
sigur ros

In the order presented tbh. Red Sparowes are not that good.

[iamrockzorz]

im downloading slint spiderland now. sigur ros kinda pisses me off at times. i really like 65daysofstatic. and i dont know what to think of red sparowes yet

[iamrockzorz]

is "this will destroy you" good or just hype?

[ThePinkPanther]

i like them

[perriwinkle]

im downloading slint spiderland now. sigur ros kinda pisses me off at times. i really like 65daysofstatic. and i dont know what to think of red sparowes yet

hahahha about the sigur ros

is it because he will repeat the same melody for like seven minutes? yeah it pisses me off too

[iamrockzorz]

hahahha about the sigur ros

pretty much lol

[Laterala]

Scraps of Tape .. a good Swedish band.
they're kinda similar to explosions in the sky ... You might like it.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

Woah, a band similar to Explosions in the Sky?

[incubliss]

ef - give me beauty... or give me death

maybe the best post-rock album i've heard.

[Thanks]

I hope this stuff starts to fade soon.

[Laterala]

Woah, a band similar to Explosions in the Sky?

well, their concepts are similar, i guess.

[Matt?]

dirty three

[Menschenfresser]

Some good post rock nobody has mentioned already:
Giardini Di Miró
Bloemfontien
Caspian
Crippled Black Phoenix
Seascapes of the Interior
Cats and Cats and Cats
Grails
Maserati
Meanwhile, Back in Communist Russia...

[SoundDevastation]

Some nice bands here guys... though Crippled Black Phoenix i wouldnt call post-rock! i do love them though...

Im more into the classical-influenced stuff. Violins, piano, cello.. gorgeous.

The Pirate Ship Quintet
A Silver Mt Zion
Bright Red Paper
Anoice
Rachel's
Neil on Impression
etc.

[Neoteric]

Rachel's is good.

[indietrash]

I reject the terms "post"-whatever and "neo"-whatever. BUT.
Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson. a Norwegian emocore band from How Is Annie Records. they might just be your typ'o thang.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As8rmvtdFBo

[Neoteric]

I don't get why it's called post-rock. In that case, it means after rock.

[SoundDevastation]

youth pictures are pretty good yeah.

i dont like the term either.. but its got to the point where if you say 'post-rock' people know what you mean so it becomes useful..

EDIT: its meant as 'a progression from' rock.... i think

[Neoteric]

It still doesn't make sense.

post- means after.

Post-punk means after punk for example.

Rock isn't dead.

[SoundDevastation]

nah... its not going to change though!

'post-metal' is being used now too..

[indietrash]

neither is punk, metal, grunge or whatever. dead I mean.
still you hear these silly terms "neo-grunge", "post-punk" and so on. the only one I can even begin to accept is "nü/neo/new-metal" - but I feel that it should be called summat else than "nü-metal".

[SoundDevastation]

nu stands for 'new urban' apparently..

[ThePinkPanther]

i dont know if people have mentioned these

This Is Your Captain Speaking
The Ascent of Everest
Circle of Birds
The Samuel Jackson 5
Tortoise
Yndi Halda

[SoundDevastation]

The Pirate ship Quintet - "better than Yndi Halda"

FACT ;)

[bleep_bloop]

Mastodon

[SoundDevastation]

ha ha?

anyone whos interested in post-rock, despite the horrible name.. should go in search of AfterThePostRock community.

[ATM]

I love Mono and Jaga Jazzist.

[Bukowski]

Mono are incredible live.

[SoundDevastation]

They are... managed to see them with World's End Girlfriend (who was actually better).

[indietrash]

if you like Jaga Jazzist, you should check out Sirka Ragnar - http://youtube.com/watch?v=6wnYFWc2acY

both of the members are ex-Jagas.

[Bukowski]

I couldn't hear for a while after Mono, they were so loud. Amaaazing night.

I can't remember the name of the band that supported Mono when i saw 'em, they sounded kind of like Lightning Bolt though. I don't think it was World's End Girlfriend. They were cool, but Mono owned.

[SoundDevastation]

indietrash: are you just a fan of that record label or part of it?

it wasnt WEG if they sounded like Lightning Bolt! unless he was on something..

[Eliminator]

If I see one more post rock thread I'm going to post in caps.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

guys who else is so completely tired of this ****. I saw Explosions last week and was struck by how boring it all became after the fourth song of the exact same thing. A lot of it has merit, but it's obnoxious to see all these bands spawning who have no substance to their music and think playing two notes over and over with a delay pedal gives them automatic cred as 'serious artists'.

[ATM]

Yea, you can definantly over-listen to this stuff. I only listen to post rock every once in awhile.

[SoundDevastation]

once will do.

Yes there is alot of it around, and the majority of it is boring and unoriginal (like every genre) including the new EitS stuff in my opinion...

There are still some amazing bands out there though.

[indietrash]

indietrash: are you just a fan of that record label or part of it?

hardcore fan. got damn near all the CDs in the catalogue, + some vinyls.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I can't really think of any post-rock I enjoy, besides a few Mogwai albums and one G!YB!!!!!!!E!! song.

EDIT: and a couple really awesome Rachel's songs.

[SoundDevastation]

hardcore fan. got damn near all the CDs in the catalogue, + some vinyls.

nice.

well if you dont like it you might as well be slagging off any old genre.

[ThePinkPanther]

theres a lot of diversity in post-rock so um good call.

but yeah i agree EitS can be very repetitive.

[Bilby]

Does anyone have a list of about 10 or 20 absolute best alternative/post rock tracks?

So far my favourites are: (Sigur Ros) Olsen Olsen, Staralfur, Hoppipolla, Samsleyki, (The Flaming Lips) Do you realise, (Low) Two-step, (Mogwai) Tracy, Friend of the Night (EITS) Your Hand in mine.

If you have taste similar to this, I'd really welcome any suggestions. Basically anything with a really great melody/orchestrals.

[yournameherexx]

One of my favorite post-rock tracks of all time is
Spetsnaz-Paul Leni by the band Port-Royal.

Also, I'd check out Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia and The Album Leaf.

[Otherside]

yndia halda ftw

[niobium]

yndi halda blowowowows

[Otherside]

neobum dont be a hatter, youll only get madder!

[iamrockzorz]

lol why do my threads survive, i havent looked at this in like a month

[margin0walker]

post-rock sucks

[Wanker]

If anyone's still looking at this thread, check out Bright Red Paper. They're from Oregon and the cello-ist (?) is freaking awesome.

[ATM]

Sup Wanker? Remember our Lego avatars?

[Thanks]

Cellist.

[Wanker]

Sup Wanker? Remember our Lego avatars?

Haha, I do now. Lego secks is hot.

Cellist.

Thanks, Thanks.

[asymm]

Do you just lurk and only post if there happens to be a post-rock thread?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Wanker, you should give me some Bright Red Paper or something.

Or someone should link me to one of those ****ing huge post rock blogs so I can bookmark it.

[margin0walker]

Do you just lurk and only post if there happens to be a post-rock thread?

LOL

[Wanker]

Do you just lurk and only post if there happens to be a post-rock thread?

Nah, I hardly even frequent the forum site anymore. In this case, I actually found some new post rock and thought I'd share. Problems?

[Bukowski]

whether this is regarded post rock or not, check out The For Carnation. Amazingly atmospheric band, I've been heavy into them recently.

[AlienEater]

Hmm they sound cool. Any particular album you would recommend?

[Bukowski]

The only one I've heard is their self titled album. I don't even know if they have any others, but that one rules. If I'm not mistaken, one of the guys from Slint is in the band as well.

[Intransit]

You are a fool if you don't download

Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
Slow Riot Riot for New Zero Kanada

by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. F#A# is really overrated, except for The Dead Flag Blues, which is breathtaking. As good as that song is though, Half of LYSF easily outdoes it.

[vemz]

Yeah not waiting 15 minutes for the song to play is sure foolish.

[phillipjacowski]

I know its lame to say myself, but i just recorded a brand new song and i think it might be what your looking for! i hope:)
