Davyd120: How to get into post rock

DungeonBoy 07.24.19	Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind
accompliceofmydeath 07.24.19	You seem pretty big into metal, so Russian Circles would be a good jumping off point.
EnyaFangirl 07.24.19	young team is essential also standing outside in a thunderstorm is what got me to appreciate the genre so it's worth a try
Artuma 07.24.19	mogwai - young team that's all
deathofasalesman 07.24.19	Jakob
Relinquished 07.24.19	pelican - the fire in our throats will beckon the thaw mono - under the pipal tree mogwai - come on die young do make say think - & yet & yet bark psychosis - hex dirty three - ocean songs red sparowes - at the soundless down
Deathconscious 07.24.19	God Is An Astronaut is really accesible, if thats what youre looking for. Bark Psychosis - Hex is an essential listen.
MrSirLordGentleman 07.24.19	Sigur Ros may be the most accesible band in the genre, but the one which summarizes its sound the best is Yndi Halda's Enjoy Eternal Bliss imo
Jots 07.24.19	how to get into post rock: listen to post rock
Jots 07.24.19	jk, uhh Don Caballero - For Respect
MrSirLordGentleman 07.24.19	Don Caballero is way closer to math than to post tho
neekafat 07.24.19	Talk Talk - Laughing Stock was the big one for me
Jots 07.24.19	@MrSir - if you mean they aren’t an aesthetic clone of sigur ros then sure, but in terms of what post rock fundamentally means then I’d say that album qualifies
MrSirLordGentleman 07.24.19	"if you mean they aren’t an aesthetic clone of sigur ros then sure, but in terms of what post rock fundamentally means then I’d say that album qualifies" Nah, I didn't mean that at all. I think Sigur Ros has a pretty approach to the genre. The "typical" sound of post-rock is for me the one of Yndi Halda, Explosions in the Sky and GY!BE ofc
PunchforPunch 07.24.19	You don't like your emotions being manipulated by minor scale and melodramatic crescendos, David?
JDubb 07.24.19	I second Russian Circles and Pelican. There are lots of great albums in this genre.
Assemblage 07.24.19	That's a good album to start with right there. Plus everyone else's recs's.
twlight 07.24.19	Hammock
RogueNine 07.24.19	The first few comments nailed it. Young Mountain and Young Team.
JohnnyoftheWell 07.24.19	Post-rock ABC (crescendocore): Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr Skinny First Like Antennas to Heaven Red Sparowes - At the Soundless Dawn (The) Slowest Runner (In All the World) - We, Burning Giraffes Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind Vibey post-rock (similar to the above but more atmospheric; some pretty, some creepy): Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun Mogwai - Come On Die Young Slint - Spiderland Grace Cathedral Park - In the Evening of Regret Blueneck - King Nine (excellent intro album - this is as alt rock (with good vocals) as it is post-rock) Interesting post-rock (more nuanced dynamics, different influences): Bark Psychosis - Hex Tortoise - TNT Slowdive - Pygmalion Talk Talk - Laughing Stock toe - For Long Tomorrow Oceansize - Frames (technically prog but with very prominent post-rock elements, a classic album either way) Do Make Say Think - Goodbye Enemy Airship... OR Winter Hymn... (saw Relinquished rec'd & Yet & Yet, which is good but one of the less accessible post-rock albums imo) Post-rock that ROCKS: Everything that Jom rec'd Envy - A Dead Sinking Story O'Brother - Garden Window Pelican - Australasia
Deathconscious 07.25.19	How bout that Vessels band, i forgot about them.
Davyd120 07.25.19	Thank you guys
Oneironaut 07.25.19	I think besides all these great recommendations for the core or essential listens, check out the 'more accessible' releases which (imo) are easier to digest. Tides of Man - Young and Courageous and then go with an updated genre staple, like: Caspian - Waking Season
naughtcturnal 07.25.19	Swans - Soundtracks For The Blind Ambient with post-rock leanings? I won't attempt to describe it. Just listen
TheSpaceMan 07.25.19	Don't do it
MotokoKusanagi 07.25.19	moving mountains - pneuma very accessible mixture of post rock / emo
Assemblage 07.25.19	Tides from Nebula - Aura Definitely underrated
dimsim3478 07.25.19	gotta agree with dat very first rec, Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place. goes down so easy but doesnt make it any less of a masterpiece. "Sigur Ros may be the most accesible band in the genre" eh i dont think this is true of all their albums. Takk is probably the one i'd recommend for accessibility.
