Start with Young Team dude.

This surprised me on first listen as I was really expecting a stinker, thought it was great then like all good records it grew into something better.

Explosions in the Sky, God is an Astronaut? I haven't gotten around to listening to either of those bands much but I often see them lumped together with this group.

Haven't really heard much post-rock beyond Mogwai, Slint, or Godspeed myself, gotta change that

never listened to this group. Any albums I should check out?

"Happy Songs for Happy People" is essential, bro! But their whole discog is nothing short of brilliance.

Check Mr. Beast, Young Team, and Rock Action first.

Last three tracks on this are really good



Based on two spins i pretty much agree with the reviewer about the middle part being forgettable, still its nowhere near a 2 for me

I was stood with this Asian chick at a bus stop and she had a Mogwai bag, never heard anything from them maybe I should check them out.

You should!



I think people generally find them to be either repetetive and boring or one of the more multi-faceted and interesting post-rock bands. This vid should give you some idea of what they are about: https://youtu.be/ZgYiQPuXMhE?t=4m45s

Check also Hunted by a Freak (12 min) and Mogwai Fear Satan (27 min)



I got into them via Rock Action -- the two first two tracks on it are quite dramatic and straightforward -- then Happy Songs for Happy People, then Young Team. Their entire discography is stellar though so it shouldn't matter that much where you start.

Even their boring/mature stuff rawgs hard https://youtu.be/KbwIFzxD1-w

Curiously enough, I first heard of them in a lights out asia review. I wonder what the cosmos is trying to tell us

i am the cosmos!

"Hexon Bogon" was the only standout.
