Yeah, really, GB!YE is dead. It's really a sad thought, but they will probably never get back together. I'd love to be proven wrong, but Godspeed will probably never play together again.

How many bands do you know of that have actually come out of a hiatus after a reasonable "hiatus period"?

The Breeders.

And we saw how well THAT turned out.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #52 on:** 25 Aug 2008, 22:44 »

The Toadies just put out a new album that's pretty good.

and they haven't done anything for a while, if i'm not mistaken.

Be My Head · « **Reply #53 on:** 26 Aug 2008, 17:31 »

I must say, I hadn't listened to Agalloch before this thread (I'd heard of them but meh...)

Anyways

They fucking rule, I mean, how can you not love a fusion of Post-Rock and Black Metal? These have to be the most kickass black metal vocals I've ever heard, and they're so damn catchy!

To the OP: Listen to Agalloch.

sean · « **Reply #54 on:** 26 Aug 2008, 17:37 »

Man, people are just getting into Agalloch?

You kids are missing out.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #55 on:** 26 Aug 2008, 17:43 »

I was missing out until this thread. These guys fucking rock!

Nodaisho · « **Reply #56 on:** 26 Aug 2008, 17:47 »

I was lucky that I read Jeph's top ten of '06, that is where I heard of them.

Did you all seriously overlook Broken Social Scene?

Try my band! We are called A Troop of Echoes and we play postrock with an emphasis on well-crafted songs. Check us out at www.myspace.com/atroopofechoes .

Thanks!

Good band, wrong thread.

WhenIamGod · « **Reply #61 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 05:38 »

Great thread. Lots of new music to listen to.

Has anyone listened to Rosetta? Mind-blowing post-metal in the vein of Isis. I personally think that their 2006 "The Galilean Satellites" kicks the crap out of most of Isis' work. Any band whose has the balls to make a debut double-disc album about an existential astronaut seeking release from his humanity through death is a hundred percent in my book. If you like Mogwai or Isis, BUY IT NOW. These guys NEED to be heard. No one knows about them and this is a travesty.

Be My Head · « **Reply #62 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 07:33 »

On a slightly off topic note, if ya'll like Agalloch check out Nachtmystium. Namely their latest release "Assassins: Black Meddle Part 1". Yes, it's a play on words, they're psychedelic Black Metal. I suppose they could be considered a little post-ish, but they mainly stick to psychedelic and black metal.

theoryC · « **Reply #63 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 07:34 »

The new one by Sleepmakeswaves is pretty darn good. Along with Caspian, they're a big reason why Explosions in the Sky should never be listened to.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #64 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 07:35 »

Explosions in the Sky aren't that bad...

Some pretty good post rock a la Caspian, though, would be Saxon Shore.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #65 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 11:28 »

for EitS, i really like How Strange, Innocence (like, alot. it's damn good.) but the rest of their albums are fairly boring to me.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #66 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 11:42 »

I never really listen to How Strange, Innocence. I could never get into that album. Have you tried Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever...? That album fuckin' rocks.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #67 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 12:06 »

no, i haven't heard that one.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #68 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 12:25 »

I'm a pretty big fan of EitS in general. How Strange, Innocence is a pretty fantastic debut. I find it hard to believe you could listen to "Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever" and be bored. While I love it, I can see you being bored with "The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place" and even moments on the newest (although that's arguable their best).

theoryC · « **Reply #69 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 12:52 »

Those are the only two I have, so maybe I need to check the rest of their catalog. What I have heard though, is very boring, very generic.

I'm listening to Susumu Yokota's new cd Symbols right now. I don't know if it's really post rock, but it's damn fine, and I bet post rock fans would like it.

EDIT: nevermind, it's not new, came out in 2005. still great though

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #70 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 13:19 »

They only seem a little generic because so many bands have copies/emulated/been influenced by them. EitS has been around for almost 10 years now so a whole lot of newer post-rock is actually derivative of EitS.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #71 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 14:55 »

i just realized that i don't think Rururu has been mentioned yet.

i might be mistaken but either way, listen to Rururu.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #72 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 15:34 »

That, sir, is excellent advice.

Yes! I have wake / lift, and it's pretty good.

I'm so late back to this thread. Where's the damn sage button?

Ah well. Just wanted to thank everyone for the recommendations. I already listened to/loved Agalloch and Slint, but didn't mention the former because I already have enough doom folk, and the latter because they're said enough

I have CDs shipping in from a lot of places, and torrents/mediaf!res from everywhere else. It's going to be a fun few weeks C:

sc13ntific · « **Reply #76 on:** 10 Sep 2008, 06:24 »

Do

Windmills by the Ocean

count as post-rock

if so

them

if not

them anyway

sc13ntific · « **Reply #77 on:** 10 Sep 2008, 06:31 »

Ace Kincaid

some one recommended them to me at another forum when I posted a TWDY video, they are just getting started but I thought they have a really good sound:

I'm amazed that Daturah hasn't been mentioned yet. They're fucking incredible.

Also, Akhmed, Surface of Eceyon, Bossk, Galacticka, Shora, Meniscus, My Sleeping Karma, sgt., SubArachnoid Space, and Ten East all have interesting takes on the genre, generally more psychedelic-tinged than average (as are most things I listen to).

Oh man, Daturah is so great. They are perfect for walking around in a city on a day that is just way too hot.

Daturah are awesome. I need to listen to them more.
