I need to get into some of this Muon and Maybeshewill myself.
Also, for those interested, here's a list of post-rock groups I'm somewhat familiar with. As time passes I'll kind of give an overview of each group's sound so those interested can pick and choose what they may be partial to. They're not all straight "post-rock" per say, but they all have elements.
Aesthyses
The Album Leaf
The American Dollar
Anoice
The Calm Blue Sea
Caspian
Crippled Black Phoenix
Do Make Say Think
EF
Glowworm
God is an Astronaut
Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Halves
Hammock
Helios
Jakob
Johann Johannsson (not exactly post-rock by any means, but somehow I feel it belongs...)
M83
Mono
Red Sparowes
Saxon Shore
Set Fire To Flames
A Silver Mt. Zion
This Is Your Captain Speaking
This Will Destroy You
Yndi Halda

I could definitely give you a couple suggestions. For starters, I think Saint by Jakob is a great track, and it builds up a lot while being extremely simple. Beauties Can Die by M83 is also really powerful and "epic" in my eyes; it's not quite straight post-rock, but it definitely builds to an incredible climax.
