I know its probably been mentioned in the past but I'm currently in love with
Metallic Falcons - Dessert Doughnuts
Its quite sparse and atmospheric, and if you dont mind the slow preach-y singing then its worth its weight in golden ear wax

also here are some others that other people probably wont know of but are great local bands (local for me anyway)

Hooper's Store http://www.myspace.com/hooperstore jumpy guitar work stuff, pretty interesting
Radarmaker http://www.myspace.com/radarmaker somewhat standard fare EITS but with some spoken word (australian so if you're put off but the accent some songs may not work out great, it shocked me when i first heard them pop up)
Adam said Galore http://www.myspace.com/adamsaidgalore possibly not pure post-rock but still deserve mentions because they have their moments. rarely play live for some reason, but have been pretty great pioneers in Perth (woah.....i know)

Ah you must tell us how YMSS are! I found them a few years ago but they hadn't done much for a while until recently.

I also would like to thank everyone for making the Russian Circles suggestions. i grabbed their album over the weekend and its one of the best albums i've listened to this year! Blew me away considering how little i like/love songs and albums after one listen.

also another suggestion, i don't know how many people have heard of Lone Wolf and Cub (Not the story, not the hardcore band) but from what i've heard of their was excellent. (Sorry i don't know how popular they are so i hope they are worth thhe suggestion)

Also for a much more electronic post-rock feel, another Australian band, Pivot http://www.myspace.com/pivotpivot or http://www.virb.com/pivotpivot
they can be somewhat 'groovy' at times, but mostly filled with 'sparse landscapes' i guess, if you get my meaning, they are releasing a new album soon, but their first one was excellent.
