Check out Swans. They started out as no-wave, then became a more gothic noise rock band, then became post-rock. Soundtracks For The Blind is their post-rock magnum opus, but it’s worth just listening through their whole discography

>2 and a half hours
Holy fuck man... dis gon b gud

Definitely look into the production of it as you/before you listen. It’s fascinating
en.wikipedia.org
The tl;dr:
>Bands been playing and recording a ton of stuff
>Michael Gira has literal trunk fulls of old tapes he hasn’t used
>decides to record a bunch of new material and mix it with all the old material
>the album has samples of the last decade of Swans materials, a suspect being wiretapped by the fbi, Michael Gira interviewing his father, some of the material was recorded live and some wasn’t. They tried making a movie a while back but never did, the soundtrack for that is mixed in too
It’s really good

For not exactly post-rock but still innovative and experimental, check out This Heat.

Sigur Ros - ( ) if you want something calming and ethereal
for Mogwai, focus on their three best albums, which are Mogwai Young Team, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, and Happy Songs For Happy People

not exactly post rock, a bit more slowcore, but has real long builds and swells
Nathaniel Ward
With the way things are these days, it's a miracle a person even brought them up.
That said, this was more an ambient rock thread.

Landon Ramirez
Yeah, so, post-rock isn't even a descriptor for a sound, much less a genre. It was just some term a critic came up with while talking about the album Hex, and it was more about the ambition of the band. It's kind of like saying 'experimental', except that it was sort of experimental rock that was very much bound by scene and had a lot of influences influencing each other by way of sharing band members. And that's all.
It is most definitely not a sound as you'd find by sorting through the hundreds of bands with this tag attached to them. I'm talking about the earlier ones, because as with many things, this term now HAS been associated with a particular sound, with the more popular bands from the 90s playing a huge role in this streamlining of the scene.
So there's a lot of confusion, especially these days, when discussing post-rock as how the term is used can vary wildly depending on the context. There's even a classification of the thing into waves, like First Wave and Second Wave and such.
So, I personally think you shouldn't really care about whether something is or isn't post-rock, as even a big-brained fellow like me can't tell at times.

Set Fire to Flames took the alternative route suggested by F#A# and made 2 records that dealt much more with collage than crescendo. They're well worth your time.

For not exactly post-rock I recommend checking your chart.

Me and my best mate hosted a radio show playing mainly post-rock stuff. All the playlists are here. playmoss.com
The more shows we did, we had to find some pretty obscure bands since post isn't a really mainstream genre.
I'm not promoting anything, since we aren't doing it anymore and it was a University station, so non profit.

>ISON - andromeda skyline
>Yamantau - mountainous landscapes
thats because dustsucker is better :)

Thanks for not comparing it to Laughing Stock.
You're wrong about Tortoise, though. TNT and Lazarus are a bit more complex and idea-dense than Millions, and parts of S/T come close to and occasionally trump it when it comes to focus and structure. It's really close, I don't know how you can say they all just suck.
Logan Robinson
The Mercury Program is great if you like vibraphones. A Data Learn the Language in particular.
Blake Watson
>TNT and Lazarus are a bit more complex and idea-dense than Millions
They aren't desu, they both just push more varied instrumentalism but compositionally Millions is by far superior, basically the pinnacle of minimalist rock

Fist time in nearly a decade I've seen someone mention that here who isn't me. I guess that makes you my favourite tripfag.

You probably know them already, but A Silver Mt. Zion has literaly the same members as GY!BE and is as good, if not better:
Hunter Walker
it used to be mucore (that was before my time here tho), and I shill this record at least once a week, but thanks man :)
I can see why someone would like tortoise, but its just not my thing. It just sounds so full of itself and quirky in a retarded way. TNT had some nice moments (especially the drumming), but it feels very hollow to me. It gets worse later in their carreer, especially with their latest record ( i feel genuinely offended by the catastrophist).
I like plenty of jazz and jazz-rock records (where this is taking influence from), but somehow post-rock and jazz dont work in my head I guess :)

Post-Rock is just Progressive-Rock for zoomers. Change my mind

Prog is centred around western classical music, post-rock isn't

Op here, waking up to a thread full of suggestions feelsgoodman
I listened to it last night before i fell asleep and holy fucking shit man that was a ride
Ive given this one a listen already, its not bad but its a little meh imo
Ive listened to Sigur Ros and i honestly didnt like it. Also young team is the one i started on for Mogwai and i really liked that album.
Ive seen their album covers in threads here before but i have yet to actually give them a listen. I'll be sure to do that.
As for the rest, it looks like i have some work ahead of me. Thanks boys, i appreciate it. :)

I remember my friend tried getting me into swans back when the only album i listened to that wasnt just current shit-core stuff was ITAOTS (yes i know...). We listened to To Be Kind together, but back then my palate for music was so baby-ish that I just got completely turned off by it and havent decided to give them another go since then. I think now im ready for that second go though after listening to soundtracks for the blind last night, i really enjoyed that album.
