Post-rock

[vikhs]

Does anyone have any recommendations for rock/metal/whatever banRAB similar in style or feel to Mogwai, GoRABpeed you black emperor!, Explosions in the sky, Sigur Ros, etc?

 

[KK3vin]

genre alert, got no idea what would classify as "post rock" and frankly I don't care. Give us a sound to work with Joe.

 

[toitoi]

Something over 5 minutes long, no tune with murabling over it

 

[Rudy H]

Hmmm, maybe this would be more suited to the indie forum. Oh well I can always post it in both.

 

[Mocha Latte]

You come to boston and Ill play a casio next to some homeless people, we'll record it, you and your post rock frienRAB can toute its amazingness.

Also, Wessley Willis

post whoring?

 

[Just a gurl]

Massive Attack? Which albums do you mean?

I've heard Slint and Silver Mt. Zion but I'll look up some of the others.

 

[Johnny Awesome]

OOOOOOOOO, burn/dig/smash corabo. 500 points.

 

[Krayzie]

mezzanine is great post-rock.

 

[Natakid.]

I thought it was trip-hop. Not that I have a clear understanding of what it means to be either genre.

*takes bow*

 

[mrmatthew]

^ and thats not post whoring?

I'm not a huge fan of most post-rock i've heard but i'll give some of lepzep's list a listen

 

[jiggly_ash]

It is trip-hop

 

[polarrbear]

yes, its trp-hop, massive attack are a leading exponent of the bristol scene that started off trip-hop. what im saying is they blend this with a lot of post-rock. tear drop for example, i wouldnt necessarily say thats trip-hop, would you? the same can be said for angel and exchange among others on the album.

 

[Charlotte B]

just takin my props. dont get ur panties ina bunch.

 

[Pattyb]

Mezzanine is pretty post rocky.

People should spend less time being anal about genres & open their ears

"OMG A TRIP HOP BAND CAN`T PLAY POST ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[C-DUB [DIME Bro]]

I`ve always thought M83 & Fourtet would qualify as post rock even though they`re both electronica.

 

[Paul_in_Steeltown]

If anyone still wants some recommendations...

Fly Pan Am
Swans
Empty Silos Echo War
M83
Do Make Say Think
Mum
65 Days of Static
Exhaust
Four Tet
1-Speed Bike
Mono
Jeniferever
Hood
