Post-rock recs

[v2kv]

There are just so many of them to listen to and I can't seem to find the ones best suited to my taste.

If These Trees Could Talk - these guys are my favourite, so anything similar to what they do would be great

Explosions In the Sky - "The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place" is pretty awesome

65daysofstatic - I enjoyed "The Fall of Math"...didn't give the new one a good listen though

Do Make Say Think - "Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn" was a good album

 

[Skepticism]

Slint - Spiderland is what you need. Also some Mogwai.
Haven't listened to this stuff in years.

 

[Methanium]

This Will Destroy You.
They will destroy you.

 

[CAIRATH]

This belongs on the Non-Metal forum really.

Stars of the Lid aren't too bad


and there's the obvious, Godspeed You Black Emperor

I wouldn't really consider them post rock... mind you, it's such a badly defined genre you can practically argue that anything is post rock.

Anyway, I recommend Unwed Sailor.

This Will Destroy You.

I listened to the self-titled and I loved it. So much emotion in their stuff.

I always thought post rock was more along the lines of Tortoise and Trans AM rather than ambient stuff like Godspeed and Do Make...

Buuuut...check out some of these...

Battles - Any of the EPs or the new album.
Trans AM - s/t and the new one "Sex Change"
Tortoise - the last one "...All Around You"
Russian Circles - "Enter"
Brokeback - "Looks at the Bird" and "Morse Code in the Modern Age"

And of course the post-metal thing that is all the rage...

Isis
Pelican
Middian
Zozobra
