yeah, Yndi Halda is crap frig amazing.

Also I'm a huge Sigur Ros nutsucker, I think they're absolutely brilliant. You may or may not go for em based on your (very) legitimate complaints about most post-rock; unlike the guitars in Explosions, Jonsi's got a hugely distinct and interesting sound to his playing, really sets it apart. Maybe you'd be bored though :shrug:

And that assumes you haven't listened to Sigur Ros, which is probably silly

I thought the last Sigur Ros album was absolutely terrible but their other stuff is quite good. () is my favorite.

Med Sud doesn't really reflect their sound properly, it was kind of their 'pop' record. For what it was I enjoyed it - Gobbledigook is sheer goofy, happy pop nonsense - but it wasn't the post-rock I was hoping for. ( ), Takk, Agaetis Byrjun, all phenomenal.

Yeah, (), Takk's and Ageatis are the best.

med sud... is amazing. the beginning of the album is great to listen to, but then from ara batur till the end of straumnes is the best 20 minutes of music i think ive heard

anyone listen to new silver mt zion song?

came here to post that, song is so sick

yea, i'm pretty excited to hear how the new album is going to turn out

[QUOTE=Meatplow;17689542]I liked Talk Talk, [i]Spirit of Eden[/i] was nice, Mutyumu's [i]Il Ya[/i] was excellent as well. I guess I prefer post rock that is bit more vibrant and exciting with timbral textures, the sort of dreary lo-fi stuff with tremelo picked guitars building up to a climax where some distortion kicks in comes off as dull.[/QUOTE]
yes.

talk talk, slint, gy!be, do make say think, tortoise, storm and stress and the six parts seven are probably the only pr groups i like anymore

[QUOTE=Moon Flavor;17689549]I agree with you on that one with one major exception. Yndi Halda. If you haven't, check them out. They kind of fit the mold of that Explosions type, but they're really (really) good.

Enjoy Eternal Bliss is like a perfect album[/QUOTE]

yh gets pretty old quick. havent bothered to listen to that record for a couple years

i think that pg.lost does that style the best atm

Mutyumu is so amazing. And do check out Mono if you haven't. My favorite songs from them are Ashes in the Snow, Everlasting Light, Yearning, and Moonlight. Those would be great starting places in terms of songs.

aye, i've heard good things about all mentioned on this page

i'll get around to it soon enough

After you finish with your obscure neofolk or black kvlt ritual stuff lol.

i'm done with neofolk at the moment actually

i've broken into post rock with some mogwai i'll probably do gy!be next

mutyumu is garbage

so basically you like the generic **** haz

caspian pretty much perfected the loudsoft explosions style if thats really what youre looking for

pic makes me want to move to japan and go to a te show

i cant believe that i saw Mono live once when they came over here.

well you better believe it buddy

toe has a new album out

Never heard of them but which one are you talking about?

There are two groups with the name toe:

# toe (Japanese band) is a Japanese post-rock music group.
# Toe (American band) is an Chicago post-rock music group.

the japanese toe

yo mike you ever listened to the band sad breakfast? they remind me alot of irepress. and theyre from mexico. so you should love them.

ive never heard of them tbh

sounds cool, they should be called sad tacos

and if the fact that i described them as a mexican irepress doesnt make you desperate to hear them, their cover art will
