Go check out the new 65daysofstatic and Pelican albums, then there's Russian Circles at the end of the month and a new Caspian EP shortly after that. One of the best ways to discover post rock is the post rock facebook page. (seriously) It's the reason I log into facebook and wade through my friends and families despicable political opinions every week.

zxqv8 posted:I just ran into Maybeshewill and had to come find the post-rock thread to loving guuuush https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUqdN8_Gvk8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7v4Wqz0qzU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tpT9dS4t1A Also check out El Ten Eleven. They're kind of a post-rock/math-rock hybrid, but they still fit with the kind of sound you like, I think. Start anywhere in their discography, really. They all have a bunch of killer tracks on them, and there's not really a big stylistic difference between any of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFCRMonf7lI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoRI2z5MnBU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfM46XR8wGQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaJxGtI4GvM God Is An Astronaut might even be your kind of thing. Their track Shining Through sounds a good amount like Take This To Heart by Maybeshewill at times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O87oAANPVcw That's off their album Age Of The Fifth Sun. I don't know what the best starting place would be here. Pretty much all of their albums have a mix of fast post-rock (akin to Maybeshewill) and very slow post-rock to the point of it almost being ambient music. I guess start anywhere and you're bound to find at least a few tracks you really dig. Here's another one you'd probably be really into: Zodiac, from their self-titled album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEDhsDoqXns

I love this stuff.

Loving the suggestions, I've not heard of many, but most of my music lately has just been cruising suggested videos following various post-rock videos on YouTube. God is an Astronaut is actually the first one I found after deciding to look up Mogwai, and it completely tossed me off my recent thrash metal trip but quick. I am also loving nuts for If These Trees Could Talk recently. I think I'll have no lack of good music to discover and talk about soon.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Listen to the title track from Caspian's upcoming EP: (Hymn For) The Greatest Generation This is great. 35 minutes of stuff like this would be wonderful. Waking Season was very pretty but it didn't really hold my attention for the run time. Live at Old South Church has become my go to Caspian release.

Anyone have a trip report on And So I Watch You From Afar? They're gonna be around me later this month. It's only  so I'm probably gonna go regardless, but it'd be nice to hear something about their live stuff. I really enjoyed their self-titled and felt okay about GANGS and their latest record.E: Oh wow there's a new Russian Circles record? I feel like Empros only just came out. What a nice surprise! apophenium fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Oct 15, 2013 |

The band, the set list, the crowd, the insanity it was all so loving perfect. The opening bands, Brontide and Zechs Marquise were phenomenal as well.

I've been listening to that new Russian Circles album for days and it's loving fantastic. Definitely one of my favorite post-rock releases of the year. This would probably be a good starting point for anyone who's into post-rock but isn't into Russian Circles because it's a pretty great hybrid of post-rock and post-metal. Seems like it'd be pretty accessible for people who already like post-rock. It's hard for me to pick a favorite track on it. It's a tie between Deficit, 1777, Ethel and Lebaron. david puddy posted:New This Will Destroy You song: http://magicbulletrecords.bandcamp.com/track/their-celebrations

Her music has never been exactly post-rock though I really don't know what else to call it, but I (shamefully) just now found out about EMA's 2011 album Past Life Modern Saints. She was in Gowns and their album Red State was my favorite of 2007 and maybe of the 00s period. Her new stuff is... uh... it's fuckin' good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjSOcoDJYQg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=072LZJ2Gwos

The new Russian Circles album is fantastic. Great mix of pretty and heavy, these guys definitely know what they're doing. I find post-rock/metal a little hit and miss generally, but the stuff I like, I really like, and Russian Circles seem to be one of those bands.

That new Russian Circles is amazing. Burial and Ethel are my favourites upon my first listen, but whole album is solid. I've been neglecting to listen to post-rock for the past year or so and would really like to get back into it. Could I get some help with what are the required listens from the past two years. I've gotten the new 65daysofstatic, Pelican and I Am Waiting For You Last Summer, and Russian Circles. What else should I get? I like the heavier stuff and more electronic influenced ones too, so really open to any suggestion. Thanks!

They played mostly stuff from Allelujah and Lift Your Skinny Fists. Really phenomenal. Not a single word was spoken by anyone in the band or the audience. Everyone was kind of just in awe.

I saw deafheaven last night at Stereo in Glasgow. Support was a local band called Vasa, who played competent widdly post-rock with a cool rock & roll vibe. They also seemed to be really enjoying themselves on stage, which is always nice. deafheaven were something completely different. The instrumentalists all looked like standard postrock musicians/geeks, but the vocalist was this big Teutonic looking guy wearing a tight black shirt buttoned right to the top and black leather gloves. He was writhing about on the stage, beating his chest, stroking the mic, using the stand like a spear, glaring out at the audience and doing these huge overdramatic hand gestures. And the whole time he's hissing and spitting and screaming with huge gobs of spittle and sweat dripping off his chin. Both really quite camp and pretty sinister, very theatrical. Of course when he was talking to the audience he was super soft spoken and humble and nice. Musically they were really tight and sounded great, they played the whole of Sunbather and then Unrequited from Roads of Judah as an encore.

Brinner posted:New Mogwai album set for Jan 2014 I clicked the link and initially thought, "Oh great another band hopping on the 80s synth trend", presuming that it'll be another lackluster release. (Wasn't too jazzed about Hardcore Will Never Die, but it has since warmed up to me.) But my god it actually works, and really well at that. When that heavy synth came in half way through the song:  . For the record, Mogwai is easily my all time favourite band, and I'm usually a huge fan of anything 80s related (I just feel like a lot of things have been hopping on an 80s bandwagon lately) so I am eagerly waiting for this album release.EDIT: I just realized this also might mean a tour to promote the album. I've missed out seeing Mogwai due to the drummer having wrist issues. So if I can see them live while promoting this album, I can finally die happy.

Hahaha, oops. For some reason I quoted a SoundCloud link and didn't even know I was doing so.  Listening to Remurdered now. It's an interesting new direction for them for sure. I'm really interested to hear how the rest of the album sounds after this. It almost sounds like they're venturing into 65daysofstatic territory.
