Anything post-rock...

  • God is an astronaut
  • Red Sparowes
  • Mogwai
  • Sigur Ros
  • Explosions in the sky

Etc. Etc.

begins relaxing to Godspeed You! Black Emperor

This is a post-rock band I just ... I don't know ... everyone praises them, but songs I've heard did not really convince me. It was somehow very different.

Even more than e.g. Mono and that's Japanese band. And we all know how weird Japan things can be.

I'm with you, unfortunately. Every so often I go back to try again because it feels so much like I should like their stuff, but it just never sticks. Glad that so many people are getting something from it, but I think I'm just not ever going to be one of them

My first thought was Explosions in the Sky, nice to see it already listed.

I listen to all these except never heard of Red Sparrows, guess I'll have to check them out

I finally get to my PC, so here's more:

  • Hammock
  • Appalaches
  • Unsigned Char
  • PG.lost
  • Bound (more of shoegaze)
  • Caves of Steel
  • Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson (more rock-ish, but great)
  • Coastlands
  • Distant Dream (more guitar soloing)
  • El Ten Eleven (more electronic)
  • El Altar Del Holocausto
  • Goodbye Earth
  • I/O
  • Neil on Impression
  • Nice Wings, Icarus!
  • No One Wished To Settle Hereafter
  • Old Solar
  • Random Forest
  • Redjetson
  • Rhone
  • SeannĂ©
  • Sleepmakeswaves
  • Souls Vibrating in the Universe
  • This Patch of Sky
  • Upcdownc
  • We Deserve This
  • The End of the Ocean
  • DiEgita

Most of these can be found on Bandcamp. Let me know if you like something.

Definitely do. They have quite distinct sound due to usage of lap steel guitar. I like it a lot.

I'll check my collection for more bands like this if you'd like.
