I'd been intending to make a post-rock thread for a while now and I think that a thread is really overdue.

From the ghostly soundscapes of Sigur Ros to the uplifting melodies of Explosions in The Sky, Post rock is a genre that a lot of people can enjoy. Many people consider the genre great to relax to and I for one have to agree with that as it is so easy just to sit down with a post rock album and listen. If you are not familiar with the genre, just imagine long brooding songs, usually of about 10+ minutes with rock instruments executed in a classical style. Discuss all things post rock.

Reccomended bands:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Sigur Ros
Explosions In The Sky
A Silver Mt. Zion
Mogwai
Mono
Seascapes of the Interior
