Haha you're only a little late. That happens to me all the time. Not just with bands I know but I'll find bands that have been active since 1990 or something producing good music and I've never heard of them. Too bad post-rock bands can't afford commercials and billboards.Cymbal Monkey posted:I'm really sad to see Marriages's Kitsune not on the list. I'd argue that they're kind of fringe post-rock, in that they're only really lumped in there because there's nowhere else to put them and they're a Red Sparowes offshoot, but I think Kitsune was the best album of 2012. Yeah I was a little disappointed it wasn't on that list, maybe people haven't heard of them or something.

precision posted:I somehow missed the fact that Do Make Say Think did an album in '09; it's four songs of ~10 minutes each ("Do", "Make", "Say", and "Think" I actually just found out about this a couple days ago as well. I still haven't listened to it yet, though. I really need to. You, You're A History In Rust was goddamn amazing. I used to have this CD alarm clock and I'd wake up listening to that album every day for the last half of my senior year of high school.

That's true, but he asked some questions which got interesting responses, especially about the Sigur Ros show. Their drummer is hilarious. And I also want to gently caress them all because they're all stupidly good looking.

The "what life form would you be if not human" was the funniest one. I loved Joe the drummer saying he'd be a dog because he just wants to run around and be fed. And it doesn't matter what kind of dog, as long as he's the king of all dogs and gets to eat table scraps instead of canned or dry food

gently caress yes, just found out that Caspian is playing here (New Orleans) at the end of February with Junius  This will be my 3rd time seeing them, but my first since Waking Season came out. And I've never seen Junius. They're announcing some more tour dates today, so be on the lookout for your area! Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Jan 7, 2013 |

Post-rock slice of life: Somebody liked a photo of mine on Instagram and I didnt know who it was, so I browsed their pictures to see if I knew them. Turns out it was Rory from ASIWYFA's girlfriend, as he was with her in a ton of her pictures. Small fuckin world we live in.Nuclear Spoon posted:http://vimeo.com/50418334 I was pretty lukewarm on the new album but my god it does it sound better live.

I'm hoping to go to ArcTanGent as well, the ticket price is a loving steal for that lineup already. 65Dos, Yndi Halda and Three Trapped Tigers are all too good to be true. I hadn't heard of Brontide before but the stuff they have online sounds really great as well. Not sure my brain will be able to handle the awesomeness of witnessing We Flood Empty Lakes live.

I just recently found out that my favorite Japanese instrumental post-rock band Te' put out their 5th LP on my birthday last year  Their stuff has been notoriously difficult to get stateside (and they're a royal bitch to Google for  ) but this time that poo poo is on Bandcamp!After a couple of listens it doesn't immediately grab me the way some of their previous albums did (the beginning of their 4th LP, the purple one, starts off with one of the most thorough rear end kickings I can recall) but it's slowly growing on me and is definitely quality stuff, just a bit more mellow than in their younger days. Have a video of the 2nd track of the new one, Magic smoulders in the depths of optimism as the remnant of [sin] conceived by the collective unconscious of a million people. Live one from their 2nd album, so you can see Tachibana's tiny little drumkit in action

I've been hooked on the Pelican discography and *shels' Plains of the Purple Buffalo... I also just remembered that I have an unopened limited edition vinyl release of it  *shels is probably one of the few bands that are able to make me genuinely amazed that there is still original music today.

WoG posted:Jesus, $17.37 for a download?! Honestly Te need to get their poo poo together, half their albums don't even have official English tracklistings and the vast majority of their audience is in America or Europe. I think they're being obtuse on purpose at this point. Also I am always amazed whenever I'm reminded that Sigur Ros still exist.

Takes No Damage posted:I keep hearing Te' compared to 65daysofstatic, where should I start with those dudes? Their first three albums, The Fall Of Math, One Time For All Time and The Destruction of Small Ideas are the "post-rock" ones. Actually, they're kind of a post-rock/math-rock hybrid. All of those are great. "Radio Protector" from One Time For All Time is the song that inspired me to start making my own music. Then their fourth album, We Were Exploding Anyway, shifted towards more of an electronic dance rock type sound. They still kept around parts of their older style but this album was pretty different than their older stuff. I don't know if anyone classifies that one as post-rock, and if they do, it's definitely not post-rock in the way that bands like Sigur Ros or Explosions In The Sky are. I still dig it, but it's not one I'd recommend as a starting point or anything. I'd say start from the beginning and work your way through their discography. They've got great sounds at every turn, so if you start listening to some of their stuff and like it, chances are you'll probably like it all.

We Were Exploding Anyway is still really good even if you liked the first 3 more. They are working on their 5th album at the moment. Not sure where that will go. I'm hoping for more stuff like their Silent Running soundtrack. That was amazingly good.
