Top Instrumental and Post-Rock Bands

I would say my top bands would be Grails, Mono and Pelican.

Grails really caught my attention this past year. Everything they have done is great, I love how they use so many different instruments. They change up middle eastern influences to blues to Latin, it's all over the place. For the softer side I would say Mono is the best there is. The orchestra on the new album is beautiful. Pelican doesn't really fit the post rock label they tend to get. They kind of have their own blend of riffs and atmosphere, I guess they will just get the Post-Metal label. They ruled live with Isis, just caught them last week. I'm loving the Geometry of Murder cover from Earth. Speaking of Earth I guess we can list Drone bands, it's closely related in some cases.
