Ok, I'm bored, I need a new post rock album. Recommendation please, and no Mogwai because I absolutely steamrolled their discography.

or go a little experimental and try Kayo Dot.

What's some really intrumentally intense/emotional post-rock?

I already have EITS, if y'all are wondering.

Why don't you give Maudlin Of The Well a try?

Alfred · 11-15-2008, 06:15 PM

Thanks... downloading now.

I went to a cafe today and got particularly stoned. After I left to walk to a music store, I put on M83's Beauties Can Die, and I was completely blown away. It was probably partly being stoned, but it was probably one of the more profound musical experiences I've had in a while. It's really so simple, but I find it incredibly moving.

I listened to Efterklang for the first time today too, if they're considered post-rock. It was cool, I like their use of strings. I forget which album it was, but I have another one to go, so I'll probably review them both a bit after I finish that.

both Kayo Dot and Maudlin of the Well are amazing groups.

I have to say thank you to everyone who's contributed to this thread so far, I've found more great music than I can shake a stick at.

I just got into a bunch of new post-rock groups recently. I'll list a few of them below.

Anoice - A classically inspired post-rock group
Hammock - A very soft, and warm sounding post-rock group
Yndi Halda - I have yet to give their album a listen actually, but the clips sounds really classically inspired and moving
A Silver Mt. Zion - I have yet to really give them too much of a listen as well, but I've got a couple albums, and will be listening soon.

I'm not sure if they're post-rock per say, but I also started listening to Helios, Bell Orchestre, Fly Pan Am and I got a William Basinski album (The Garden of Brokenness). Everything I've heard from them all has all been absolutely brilliant. Raising Your Voice... Trying To Stop An Echo by Hammock is a really incredible album, and I'd suggest it for any post-rock fan. If you haven't heard of Anoice or Ynda Haldi either, give them a listen.

I guess I'm mainly speaking to jackhammer, since we seem to have similar tastes in a few ways (being serious post-rock and Floyd fans I suppose). If you haven't heard these groups, I urge you to check some of them out.
