somethinglikethat Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Before the crash we had the instrumental music thread, which was a good thread but left the door open for talk about hip hop instrumentals, etc. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm sure I'm not the only person on this forum who mostly listens to music that is generally classified as "post-rock". As this is a pretty broad but generally overlooked category of music, there are a lot of good bands out there from all over, but almost nobody knows about them. So post some interesting post rock bands/albums. Here are some of my recent favorites. Evpatoria Report - Maar - These guys are from switzerland, lots of long-winded, "epic" build ups, reminiscent of Godspeed at times. yndi halda - enjoy eternal bliss - also maybe a little reminiscent of godspeed, but without the sampling and maybe a little more melodic Do Make Say Think - Other Truths - New album sort of reminds me of their older stuff, one of their best IMO. Appleseed Cast - Sagarmatha - they've pretty much abandoned their emo roots, which is fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamblersGrin Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'm not 100% sure I know what "post rock" is. i think i may have put some post-rock bands in the drone/doom thread. i think there are quite a few bands and russian circles is one of them, has the skill and style to tread multiple genres. they can be metal at times, but also sound like what is described as post-rock as well as drone.

Avesism Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Earl, music played with rock instruments in a non-traditional rock song format would be the closest definition I could come up with, as I'm not super polished on it, myself. However, I saw tortoise live @ the roseland ballroom a grip ago w/beardo. They were unexpectedly one of the best live acts I've seen.

earl broclo ESQ Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Tortoise is a great band. When did you see them? I'll never forget the first time I heard them. It was probably 1995 or 96 and someone let me borrow I went home, and not to sound corny, sat with my bong and listened to it while I drew. That album blew me away the first time I heard it. Tortoise - The Taut And Tame I found out about Toe because of Tortoise. I think one of the guys involved with Tortoise, was involved with them. They're worth checking out.

Have you seen DMST live before? If not, they're incredible and you should do everything you can to get to that show. I have personally never seen tortoise, unfortunately. Here's some caspian to keep things moving - the Raven, off their newest album Tertia. I most recently saw caspian about two months ago and I'd liken the sound to a jet taking off. The albums are very melodic and don't quite convey how loud the music is intended to be played, definitely among the loudest bands I've ever seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wimakexoilA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire15 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 More DMST. I could post a ton, since they have so many, but Ill just put a few up. A lot of the videos are cheesy but the music is all good. My favorite one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Orenthal Norton Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 someone mentioned Caspian in the old Instrumental thread before the crash. So I thought I would bring them back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5kMc_efWuc And a great instrumental track from Queens of The Stone Age.

creativefailure Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Have to agree with you on your third choice Spitfire as Goodbye Enemy Airship is one of my all time favorites. Have to mention Maserati. It's a shame about the drummers though. Spinal tap anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
