This is one of my favorite bands, though I'm not sure they fit into this category. Their album was my favorite of 2009 when it came out and their album cover blows me away.

Oooh, that's really nice stuff. Reminds me a little of The Ascent of Everest.

EDIT: Okay, whoa, that'll teach me to just skim poo poo. This is... quite a bit heavier than AoE. But it's still quite awesome.

And incidentally, so is AoE. >_> </shamelessplug>

I'd say post-metal is a subgenre of post-rock. So IMO they do. But then again I do play the "post-rock" a little loose, I'd consider mathy stuff like Giraffes? Giraffes!, Sincabeza, and the like to be post-rock.

I know how you feel - I found out about Vanessa's Van Basten new album some time ago, half a year after it came out. There're some good groups out there that kinda get out of your radar.

I had a forum where I used to find out stuff like that daily, but it died out.

Check out Balmorhea. I'd call it expansive, evokes feelings of looking across a vast landscape (for me at least). They also have a cello.

and a banjo...

My favorite album of theirs is All is Wild, All is Silent. It's got a neat western vibe. I get that sense of looking across a vast landscape too, it's just always feels like the old american west.

Not one post in here mentioning sleepmakeswaves's sophomore album? Quite a few pages back there was some praise for their first effort In Today Already Walks Tomorrow so hopefully I'm not wrong in thinking there's still some interest in this band.

That's pretty good! Pretty standard post-rock fare, but not bad.

I still think One Day You Will Teach Me To Let Go Of My Fears (the demo version, not the album version with the strings. The strings kinda cheapen it for me for some reason.) is one of the best post-rock songs I've ever heard.

I personally prefer the album version but I couldn't agree more, I loving love that song.

And yeah, I know sleepmakeswaves kinda gets a typical crescendocore-buzz around here, but whatever. Sometimes I'm in the mood for crescendos. And lots of them.

Took this shortly after buying my DSLR last year to test out the video mode. It's just footage of driving down the I-10 at night while it was thundering/lightning and loving with settings, but I used the album version of that song as the music.

It's probably nothing too special, but I liked the way it came out :shobon:

I've been meaning to post about them for a week or so now but I kept forgetting! I've been absolutely loving To you they are birds, to me they are voices in the forest. It's some of the freshest sounding post-rock I've heard in a good long while.

Mentioned these guys over in the bands no one knows about thread, but there might be some more interest for them here - Tangled Thoughts of Leaving. They actually did a split EP with fellow Aussies sleepmakeswaves, relevantly. Check out their album Deaden the Fields though, it's absolutely amazing. Not strictly post-rock, but the aesthetic is similar enough.

Ah. Yeah, that is their new EP. I didn't know it hadn't been released yet.

I've only heard "Get To France" so far. It's really good, but really different from just about everything on Hardcore Will Never Die and...well just about everything they've put out in years.

Edit 1:

Okay, why the gently caress do I not have this album yet? This is incredible.

Yes, this. Totally was thinking about posting them here after seeing your post in that thread. Instead, I'll mention Lis Er Stille. They're Danish (found them trying to find a single band that sounds even remotely like Mew), and they sound like if Muse did a post rock album cribbing off Crippled Black Phoenix, specifically the album 200 Tons of Bad Luck. There's also a few hints of Mew, if you were wondering :)

Have a listen, they rock:

I just clicked through 43 pages to see if anyone had posted about Gowns, w/ Erika Anderson and Ezra Buchla of noise-rock band The Mae Shi nonfame and heir to the Buchla synthesizer fortune. Here's some beautiful, depressing music for ya in their final song, "Stand And Encounter", the best dang drat song of 2010, buried somewhere in this pitchfork article:

http://pitchfork.com/news/37829-gowns-break-up-post-final-epic-song/

and if you like that, their first two albums Red State and Dangers of Intimacy are not quite as ambitious, a little more succinct, but super-duper great.

note: I think I might have a fairly loose definition of post-rock, and this isn't really of the jingly-jangly instrumental or cool jazzy instrumental or man-wasn't-krautrock-really-kickin archetype, so ymmv, I spose.
