Ok, I've recently started listening to this album and wondered if there is anything else similar to this album out there.

I'm looking for something similar to the track 'Broken Chord Can Sing a Little'

Maybe something even more minimalistic.

Any suggentions are appreciated, thanks.

There is rather a lot of music like that out there.

First and foremost, the band Labradford.  Get all six of their albums immediately.

Also, the Labradford side-projects Pan American and Aix Em Klemm.  I'm partial to the first and fourth Pan American albums the most.

After you get those, get back to me.  Because those are by far the best minimalist/ambient post-rock out there.

Excellent, I'll get on that later.

Any particular album to start at?

[Jackie Blue]

If you want to hear the best stuff first, get Labradford's self-titled third album and the two after it, Mi Media Naranja and E Luxo So.  Their first album has a lot of just plain ambient drone, but it also has the insanely beautiful "Soft Return".  Their second one, A Stable Reference, is also quite good in a Twin Peaks music sort of way.  Honestly, the last album they did, Fixed::Context, is sort of shitty.  It's a 20-minute track that isn't very interesting and then 3 shorter tracks that aren't that good either.  I have no idea how they went from "best band ever" to "not so hot" in one album, but they did.

Eugh, every Labradford album I've tried either needs a password, or is in m4a format.

Any chance anyone could upload an mp3 version?

[Jackie Blue]

They're quite cheap if you buy them directly from Kranky Records.  I very much doubt you'll be disappointed.

Ok, thanks again!

also, at the very worst, if you haven't, there are all the OTHER ASMZ albums, although each album is pretty different from the last. THey're all exceptional, however.
