Actually the song is called Third Day Blow, Anoice is the band. I have another song of theirs posted in the same post called Liange, give it a listen and let me know what you think. I did like the album, and I think it generally has that kind of feel, but the first couple tracks on the album are a bit strange if I remember correctly.

oh, right sorry, I actually knew that, I just wasn't think right. I definately am going to give them a listen though, and shoot you a message when i'm done and tell you what I think. I'm really excited about this.

I listened to that Fuck Buttons album finally today (yesterday I guess). Fantastic stuff, the screaming is awesome.

One of my favorite bands ever, and I mean no exaggeration when I say that. Definitely the best contribution Nashville has ever given to the world.

Ok, after much delay, I finally sat down with some music from these groups.

This is your Captain Speaking is similar to a more subdued Explosions in the Sky. It has a lot of similar elements in terms of the guitar led compositions, but it's got more, space at times, I suppose. I personally quite enjoyed it for what it was (the record was Eternal Return), but I could see why some wouldn't like it as much because it can be very minimalistic and not as engaging as other post-rock. That's not to say they don't have their climax points as well, they most certainly do, but I don't think it breaches to a level of "heaviness" like Explosions can at times (or at minimum, it's generally not quite as heavy as Explosions can be at times). The compositions are also quite lengthy, with only one track coming in under 9 minutes.

This Will Destroy You I think is generally a little more involving, and lush. They also make use piano at times, but generally the tracks are guitar based like Explosions in the Sky as well. It has a bit of a different feel then Explosions though, and I think is worth checking out for what it is. It's definitely a little heavier at times then This is Your Captain Speaking. The only album I've heard is Young Mountain, but I certainly enjoyed it. It has a lot of prototypical post-rock kind of bits in there, and can maybe seem a little generic at times, but I think they have a good, lush sound. Not to mean This is Your Captain Speaking isn't lush, it's just lush in a much more subdued way, if that makes any sense. The overall mood of Young Mountain is somewhat contemplative, while being up in some ways (it's certainly not a very "dark" record) and somewhat triumphant at times. It's overall very consonant as well.

Red Sparowes I still haven't heard much of, but from what I've heard, they can have their heavier moments, while having some really beautiful moments scattered between. They too seem to generally be guitar based compositions, but they somehow have their own flavour to add as well. They seem to have more dissonance then the other two groups, and generally seem to have more "dark" qualities in some of the tracks. There does seem to be a couple of nice, delicate moments thrown between it all, but I think it generally is a bit more heavy then it is soft.

I suppose it is all up to what you're looking for. I really thoroughly enjoyed the This is Your Captain Speaking record, and off the bat would recommend that, but it's ultimately up to your mood and what you're looking for. I liked the subdued nature of a lot of the This is Your Captain Speaking, but I'm a big fan of minimalism and consonance. I haven't connected with Red Sparowes as well yet, maybe in part due to their heavier sound at times, but I honestly haven't given them as much of a chance yet either. Perhaps This Will Destroy You is a good happy medium, it has it's more built up moments, while generally being fairly involving. Ultimately though, again, I'd say it just depends on mood.

You pretty much voiced my opinion on This Is Your Captain Speaking from the one record I have heard so far. I liked it too but I believe I said it was quite lifeless and dull at times. In retrospect dull may be a little harsh but they do seem to take more of a minimalistic approach to their music which isnt gonna go down too well with everyone, especially when there are so many post-rock bands out there doing their thing.

I gave Horses in the Sky from A Silver Mt. Zion a listen and I thought it was pretty good, worth a listen, but the guy's voice can get annoying.

Yeah I'm a very big fan as well; I really thoroughly enjoy more or less everything I've heard from them. Some of their tracks really just blow me away.

god is an astronaut, explosions in the sky and mogwai are fantastic.

gybe, set fire to flames, shalabi effect, fly pan am are great too.

kacica are a good japanese post rock group too

Woo to people who love postrock. I'm currently listening to EitS, It's Natural to Be Afraid.
