For those who don't like post rock (and I know there are a lot of you) this is post rock, but to some extent post rock but not as we know it. I don't know: I've always got a more cinematic, dramatic vibe from this Swedish one man outfit's music than I do from, say Explosions in the Sky or Pg.Lost (sorry, Ki, if you're reading somewhere). Of course it's all instrumental, and those who hate post rock may hate it, but it's worth giving a chance. You may have heard some of his work already, as it has been used on telly and in films, and on apparently your Superbowl and the Oscars. I guess you'll either love it or hate it. No prizes for guessing which side I come down on!
