If you enjoyed LYSF, then you might want to check out Set Fire to Flames and Fly Pan Am, as far as I know these bands have certain members of GY!BE in them. Also, check out basically all of GY!BE material.

My list would probably be:

Sigur Ros - ( ) (ambient post-rock that basically tugs on every emotional nerve you have)
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is not a cold dead place
Moving Mountains - Pneuma (has vocals, and borders on the Kinsella Emo side of things, still very moving)
Slint - Spiderland (Math Rock/Post-Rock)
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock (arguably the first post-rock album, even if you don't consider it a post-rock album, it's still a fascinating album)
Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die (krautrock influenced instrumental rock)
This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain (crescendocore post-rock)
Tarentel - Ghetto Beats on the Surface of the Sun (noise post-rock, definitely not the easiest album to get into)

I've heard a couple of those albums yesterday. I am truly impressed. Thank you all for your kind recommendations!

God Is An Astronaut-All Is Violent, All Is Bright

I'm also very, very partial to Golevka by The Evpatoria Report, but it can be somewhat of a daunting listen at first (similar to GY!BE, I guess). The last track is just stunningly epic and beautiful though. Unbelievably amazing.
I've listened to both of these albums, multiple times now, and I am completely captivated by them both. They are truly fantastic. The entire Evpatoria Report album was just stunning. It gripped me and wouldn't let go. I do agree that the last track is just unbelievably beautiful though!

God Is An Astronaut's album was insane too. Jesus... these two albums were truly wonderful and a true experience.

Thank you.

The Evpatoria Report is really good but I've never really liked God is an Astronaut aside from few songs

I thought they were real damn good. But then again, that could be my inexperience talking!

Well they are good but just not something that i've enjoyed listening to...I don't know why though. Maybe I should just listen some more of them.

Yeah I'm not a GIAA fan. They don't pull off crescendocore as well as TWDY, in my humble opinion.

I agree. This Will Destroy You is pretty great. Im really looking forward to hear their new upcoming album when they release it. What I've heard it is going to be different than their earlier stuff. More drony and heavy.
