They Will Destroy You - and other misc post-rock
TheFuriousWombat:
I really dislike the term post-rock in general but I'm not sure what else to use. Certainly Rachel's and If These Trees Could Talk, for example, are two vastly different groups with almost nothing in common. Somehow they've both found their way under the post-rock umbrella, however. The dangerous thing about this is that somehow will hear a couple similar sounding post-rock bands and come to associate the entire genre with that sound thus ignoring thousands of bands with different styles if they didn't like that sound or being confused and overwhelmed when they find how many different post-rock sounds there are if they decide to explore the genre in more depth. I really think some new categories or genres are needed. Something to distinguish between the wildly different approaches to post-rock. At the same time, as was said, we definitely don't want a million absurd sub-genres popping up all over the place. It's a dilemma, that's for sure. For now I will grudgingly stick to the post-rock moniker.

Eh, just say, for example, when describing Maserati: "Post-rock with more of a psychedelic and driving edge". Or when describing Labradford: "Post-rock that sounds like Ennio Moriccone's Twin Peaks music."

Thanks, that's the kinda stuff I was looking for.
Now I feel compelled to upload something in return. Hmm.

This is actually the thing I love most about the post-rock name. It's evolution so far has allowed us just to differentiate post-rock's different sounds by our own words than a set sub-genre. I wish more music was like that...
