Phew. I hate the idea of 'pretentious' music.

Anywho, back on topic. TWDY is starting recording on a new album. They're the only crescendo-post-rock band I can fathom.

Pretty much, they're the only guys still doing it really (that I know of). Everyone else's slowly moved away from that, especially Sigur Ros(sp.) and God Is An Astronaut.

You're working directly with Torsten Kinsella?

As in, in flesh & bone? No, I wish. I mean, I'm working with Torsten, but via internet and recordings, if that makes sense.

Their next album is supposed to be a return to their old sound. Lets hope so

key words.

There's about 432948987 post rock bands out there today that all sound eerily similar, mainly because they don't dare to venture beyond the quiet-loud-quiet-louder-quiet formula.

one post rock band I have checked out recently is 65daysofstatic. Fantastic mix of IDM and post rock.

Yeah, judging by the recent Riceboy Sleeps output, I'm expecting an ambient drone fest... and couldn't be more excited
