Johnny Truant posted:Any band that describes themselves this way I immediately entertain no thought of listening to. If you have to try that hard to describe your music, nah. Well then you probably have very boring taste. There are tons of great bands that it'd take listing tons of genres to even get a glimpse of what they sounded like. Imagine trying to describe Radiohead to someone who had never heard them.

You probably are one of those genre-elitist arguers, aren't you?

What the gently caress are you even talking about? I wasn't judging anyone's taste in music based on genres. I was saying you're an idiot because you will not listen to certain things solely because they used too many genres to describe it. And I'm far from a genre elitist. I'm one of the worst at it actually. I have no idea what genres to call any band. And that's probably because a lot of the music I listen to is weird.

That was evident even before I listened to them by the fact that they made up a few genres to be "witty." You bore me, though, and they certainly aren't post-rock.

I wasn't blown away by it at first but it really grew on me, defiantly worth picking up and giving it a few spins. https://grails.bandcamp.com/album/chalice-hymnal It's ok, they said they made it while listening to shitloads of 70s movie soundtracks. I like New Prague. SmokinDan posted:Labirinto - Gehenna Spotify (post-metal) Nice, kinda getting some Latitudes vibes from the end of Mal Sacre

I saw Mono in a tiny club in 2007 or something, and it was one of the most emotional, intense and beautiful shows I've ever seen. I saw them again last year and it was just boring - which can probably be explained by the fact that they played mostly (or all?) newer stuff (which just pales in comparison with the older albums). By the way, I'd like to recommend a post-rock(ish) band which is pretty much the polar opposite of the standard, generic, crescendo-core: 'O'rang, particularly their album Herd of Instinct (from 1994). It's 2 ex-members of Talk Talk. Ethnic, psychedelic, tropical vibes, sounds like pretty much nothing else (OK, maybe a tiny bit like Talk Talk, which can only be a plus). Completely awesome.

I've seen Mono at the same venue like 3 or 4 times and they've ruled every time. It's one of those venues where you're like inches away from the band. I've always loved watching them perform, especially Takaa. He just goes so hard at every show in a way most other musicians don't, outside of like the guys in Caspian. They're playing that same venue in May so I'm gonna try to see them again. Seeing Yearning live in 2010 was one of my all-time favorite concert experiences. That was also the loudest show I'd ever witnessed up until that point, and I was in the front row and not wearing earplugs. I regret nothing.

I think the only two shows I seriously regret missing last year were when Mono and This Will Destroy You came through. I did see EitS though so all in all I'd call my post-rocking in 2016 a push.

Any sign of a new album from TWDY? Their last was in 2015. They missed out on contributing to the vintage year of 2016, officially designated Year of Post-Rock.

Would you guys consider toe as post-rock? I've been listening to them and their Spotify related artists. Are there any Western bands with similar sound?

I've been listening to Giant Squid lately which is a bit hard to describe but if you liked O'Brother they're similar. Dreamy vocals with post-rock stylings. A bit sludgier than O'Brother though. They've broken up unfortunately. Check out their last album, Minoans (Bandcamp|Spotify) Their whole back catalog is interesting but a bit more hit and miss. I seriously don't think there's a bad song on Minoans.

I'm gonna try to keep this short so I don't turn into that guy who spews about their favorite band at the slightest provocation. Some of their influences are pele, and Ghosts and Vodka. Origami JP almost entirely based their sound off them, so they sound like toe but with songs in 6/8. toe's drummer is/has been in a lot of bands, and I could name some if you're interested.

I was super bummed when they called it quits. Aaron Gregory has resurfaced with a bunch of ex-Agalloch guys though.
