Post-Rock fans....

[KeithR]

Any forum members interest in this genre?

I've been getting into Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky as of late. The album art and vinyl packaging for Take Care, Take Care is outstanding and a must buy.



If there are other groups I should look into, please let me know!

Got that vinyl as well, lavish packaging!

A couple of other groups, some are on vinyl too.

Sigur Rós
Labradford, Jessamine and the whole Kranky scene/label
Tortoise - fathers of the genre
Cul de Sac
Couch
Rachel's
Circle - finnish band whose early works are a pretty unique take on krautrock/post rock, get "Hissi" or "Pori" or "Fraten".
Do Make Say Think
Godspeed you Black Emperor - one of the exponents
Giardini di Mirò
Tristeza
Kinski
Labirinto - brazilian band, if you want something exotic in the genre

These are just some of my faves, there are tons more...

Post-rock is a term that has been so overused that at this point I'm not sure it has any real meaning.

If you enjoy Explosions In The Sky check out:

Long Distance Calling
Frames
Sleepmakeswaves
65DaysOfStatic
The Fierce & The Dead
Tides From Nebula

Big fan of Sigur Ros...any recommendations for something along those lines?

Been to a couple of concerts a few years ago, at the Opera House in Boston. Quite a diverse/eclectic group of fans they draw!!!

Johnny,

Definitely try Godspeed you Black Emperor!, Rachel's and Mogwai. And the band that Keith used to start the thread, Explosions in the Sky.
Oh, and I forgot another cool band from that period, A Silver Mt. Zion.

I like Sigur Ros and Mogwai, can't get into Explosions In The Sky.

Ok, I've written them down and will see what I can get at my shop, although it might require some online purchases.

Is that code words for a cross between people who show up at a Star Wars convention, My Little Pony, and some hipsters?

Well, they sing in Icelandic

Actually it's not icelandic, it's a made up language! Even geekier!
