Modest Mouse is, as it would happen, my favorite band.

I think maybe GY!BE spoiled most post-rock for me. You can practically live in their first three releases. It's hard to find bands in that style that are really innovative. Explosions in the Sky have been growing on me lately. Also, I really liked the 65daysofstatic song I'd heard (Retreat! Retreat!) but had forgotten the band name, so thanks. They sound promising. I think I hear kind of a bridge between post-rock and post-hardcore with their sound, sort of the same as Trail of Dead's Source Tags and Codes.

I like that Tera Melos song. Sounds like Don Caballero but more melodic. Kind of a hard genre to get into.

Also, the Boards of Canada type recs are appreciated. All those electronic acts can be hard to sift through.

Thanks a bunch.
