Post-Rock Thread

Roemilca · 01-31-2011, 11:45 AM

So I've decided that since no one else has bumped this thread since December, I might as well be the one to do it.

TWDY's newest ep was alright. There was one song that was posted on here a whileee back but it didn't really stand out to me. Slightly off-topic question, but doesn't anyone still listen to Sunn O)))?

I've always thought that Sunn O))) is quite over-rated. The only thing I like from them is the Altar they did with Boris.

Hey, I'm looking to get into post-rock. Could any of you people give me a couple of recommendations on which album(s) to start with? (:

First I would recommend you to listen to some easier to get into pr albums.
Ef - I am Responsible
Ioseb - The Ghost of 33
This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain
Explosion in the Sky - Any album will do fine imo. (The earth is not a cold dead place is good) I'm not a huge fan of theirs but they are pretty much the best gateway post-rock band out there and have some pretty cool songs.
All these are quite easy to get into. If you enjoy these you must listen to Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven. GY!BE might be harder to get into because of the 20min songs with movements but it's totally worth it in the long run.

If you want to you can send me a personal message and I can send you links to some great post-rock releases. I myself listen to tons of bands and I think I can find you some good ones

Start with some Mogwai. An album like Happy Music For Happy People is quite accessable. If that piques your interest, start diverging onto the likes of Bark Psychosis, Slint, Talk Talk and Tortoise. I always find that beginning with the founders of a genre is the best way to really understanding and gaining an affinity with it. But that's just me.

Hi everybody

My first concert of 2011 were post-rock legends - Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Mmmm, what a band! Totally unique and incomparable to another post-rock bands. It was very hypnotic evening. I am glad I had a chance to see them live. If you have a chance, it's worth to go!
It was about 110 minutes and they said nothing, no hello or bye. They just came, played and went away from stage. People weren't sorry about it because the music is what everybody came for.

Sigur Rós - ( )
God is an astronaut - All Is Violent, All Is Bright
Caspian - Tertia
Explosions in the skies - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
Gifts from Enola - From Fathoms

Good times all around.

Kinda Blue · 02-04-2011, 12:51 PM

Thanks to all of you guys. Really appreciate it. I'll try to check out as many as possible of those albums mentioned.

clutnuckle · 02-08-2011, 06:58 PM

aye, said bootleg clearly proves above all else the potential fer this new record of twdy's. i mean, if yr actually able to hear the clean guitar soars and not just the (albeit great) drummin it'll likely wind up being great regardless.

the shortened "Villa Del Refugio" hurt my heart.

I just started getting into post-rock a couple years ago and since then I've discovered some great bands. I find it a bit odd that most players of the genre don't necessarily like it- they wanted to do more marketable music but just kinda fell into the instrumental category. Anyway, the bands that I like the most are:

(In no particular order)

Explosions In The Sky
This Will Destroy You
Signal Hill (who as far as I know haven't been mentioned yet on this thread)
Saxon Shore
Tristeza
The Album Leaf
Mono
El Ten Eleven
Sigur Ros
Mogwai
My Dad Vs Yours (who I also haven't noticed on this thread; I didn't read it all though)
