I've decided to dedicate a thread to post-rock. I don't remember if we have one already or not, but either way, this will be the definitive one. Post news about bands, links to albums, talk about bands, etc. Right now I'm really into Caspian and Sigur Ros. A friends of mine went to see Sigur Ros a while ago and said they were amazing, I believe it. What I really love about post-rock is how innovative it is and I'm finding that it is influencing my music quite a bit.

Sigur Ros shows are super expensive, which is the only reason I didn't see them the few times they came through here

and speaking of post-rock, at the moment i'm mostly stuck on Once We Were, you should definitely check it out

aslo: sticky this and get rid of that Metal/Music chat sticky...

[Евгений Онегин]

I think she spent a lot of money on it, so yeah. I'm checking out Once We Were, where are they from? Tim sent me a link to a download of their album and it was on some Russian fileshare site.
Oh, and /pinned.

They're Swedish, and if (or anyone else) finds their EP Winter Ketp Us Warm, I want it

Found and am downloading.

I'd love to listen to more post rock, but I don't really.

'Tis mostly Godspeed You! etc etc over here. I also like I Want to Tell My Heart to You, But I Cannot Say English by ...As the Poets Affirm. That's seriously one of my favorite albums.

[Евгений Онегин]

Godspeed is definitely amazing.

[Mithrandir]

Godspeed is indeed quite brilliant.

I've been listening to a ton of Electrelane over the last few months, they're not really the most text-book example of post-rock but I'd say that they certainly fit into the genre. In any case they rock.

[Cip]

if you guys really like Godspeed I highly, highly recommend checking out Do Make Say Think, they arnt quite as dark sounding but definitely an amazing instrumental post rock band. Valley of Giants is quite good too.

Thank me with sexual favours.

I've listened to every band mentioned in this topic at least once, but most of the time no more than 5 times. I've always had trouble sticking with a Post-Rock band (sans 65dos) unfortunately. Not knocking the genre, I would love to be able to spend more time with it. Unfortunately, I'm not currently in a serious music listening situation right now... I live with 3 other people and shit. You know.

I know exactly what you mean. When I hang out with friends a lot, we end up listening to R. Kelly more than we end up listening to anything real. With Post-Rock, I appreciate when I'm alone, walking, smoking, etc. Which is now happening a lot more often than it used to, so I'm sticking with it.

R. Kelly? Hahaha. I get The Beatles, Grateful Dead, or like Wu-Tang Clan when I'm with my friends.

ohohohoho sexual favors are most certainly in order... Tim, reward this man

[Mithrandir]

With my friends it's David Bowie seven times out of ten. Except when my friend Keir and I are hanging out, then it's all Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Tom Waits.

When R. Kelly is playing, we're all serious about GETTING DRUNK.

(Really, we all listen to good music, we just love the humour in R. Kelly.)

[PMA]

Hmmm.... as for THIS year, I think the winners for me are Maserati, Eluvium, and Mono. 3 super fab releases from all 3. Its actually been a really good year for the genre on the whole, if you ask me.

[Евгений Онегин]

Caspian's new album is good.

Firefox says you spelled humor wrong.

Also. R. Kelly is hilarious. I love that new song, and music video, he did with Usher. It's got the best plot twist ever at the end.

What perfect timing for this thread, seeing as I am totally engulfed in this genre right now. I moved from Alternative/Grunge, to Metal, to Progressive Rock, then Prog Metal, then Prog Death Metal, and now here I land, where I have to say, is the happiest medium of music I've been in a long time.

Anyways, what I have been getting into alot lately have been mentioned already in the thread, bands like 65daysofstatic, Mono (which I'll be seeing at the TLA in Philly in a few weeks), Maserati, Explosions In The Sky, Red Sparrowes, Gordian Knot, Godspeed, and so on. I've got to say that if there was any type of music to get lost in something you love, it has to be this genre; I've found myself whittling the hours away writing by putting a Mono album on.
