Cymbal Monkey posted:It think if we pour our hipster into this Wiki article we could produce a great resource for new listeners. It's already honestly way too lengthy. I cannot count the amount of times I have looked at mainstream catch-all lists, tried some bands out, and have been disappointed by bland, ambient sound. Post-rock is just too large an envelope to throw together in a single list anymore. What would probably be needed one of those cloud-like diagrams where more popular bands would be larger, and from there on all similar bands are linked together in a huge web. I think Pandora had something like that? Anyway, it'd be great for people like me who started out on Mogwai, ventured into Do Make Say Think or Tortoise and found it awfully droney and boring, then stumbled onto Mono... etc.

Or some kind of wiki style web, where you could start with the bubble POST ROCK and have it branch out into bands like GY!BE and The Samuel Jackson Five and This Will Destroy You. and branching out from there.

Cymbal Monkey posted:This simply proves that The Silent Ballet is useless. Though Deep Politics getting album of the year was a good call... I would have given them album of the millenium... Yea I didn't know if they were complimenting or insulting. Basically they said it isn't "experimental" or "post rock" enough. But gently caress it man, we do what we want! Our first album had plenty of experimental stuff. Our new album is somewhere in between... I think? Parachute Underwear posted:Please let us know as soon as it's out Absolutely.

Like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-rock#1990s_post-rock? (it has the major groups + Laika, Labradford and Stars of the Lid, which deserve a listen as well) ulvir posted:Is there a decent website out there where I can stay up to date on new releases and so forth? Till now this thread has pretty much been my only source. Semi same here - apart for a thread on another forum that died out and a certain siren  blog. I used to avoid Silent Ballet for the amount of stuff they put in there, though looking back now, it's cool that they've put "Releases in... " entries.

I remember realizing once that one of my favourite bands hadn't even released their first album yet. I felt pretty hipster. "I liked The Pirate Ship Quintet before the had a full album."

Is Shellac ever going to release another album? Whenever I google around like an old retard I just get their unupdated touch and go page from forever ago. Also I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread but as I mentioned earlier, I am old, and, retarded.

This genre really needs a tracking database where you can flag any pretentiously titled 3 song EPs that catch your attention, to be alerted on the off-chance they lead to an album six years later. (Then again, it's not like I'm short on new material even with bands falling off the map left and right.)

Already knew I was seeing them at Osheaga since it was announced a while back but I'm still really stoked. I think this'll be the second post-rock show I get to catch since I saw Russian Circles during their Enter days.

NYC GOONS! My band, Spaces, is playing a show on Wednesday April 18th at Public Assembly. It's going to be a unique show for us because we've been experimenting with some projection mapping.  http://www.facebook.com/events/139868246138672/ We play an instrumental post-rock mixture of Pink Floyd and harder rock, such as Pelican, Russian Circles, Crippled Black Phoenix. I'd love to see any of you out there, I play drums so come say hi. We play at 9:30 (if it goes according to schedule). This is a video of a past show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHT3MuyVR-U And this is our website http://www.spacescold.com

Sigur Ros' newest has leaked already, but it's in V4, and though I'm far from an audiophile I'll probably wait for it to be released properly.

I'm listening to it now and it's so lush and beautiful. None of the songs have sounded like singles yet, and I know that's not what post-rock is known for at all, but most of their last album was singles and the past couple albums before that had a few on them, too. Oh well, I'll just listen to this album all the way through every time I listen to it. I don't have a problem with that.

ekuNNN posted:I made a Godspeed You! Black Emperor inspired poster, I thought someone here might like it I need this made bigger. For anyone going to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor in San Francisco The sound quality at the front of the stage is terrible as it often is, and Mike Moya (nicest man in the world, seriously) explained to me that the reason they sit down at live shows is that the focus is supposed to be the projections, not them. So it's better to stand behind the hall's fantastic sound system so you can be obliterated by it and get a great view of the screen. Addendum: I asked Moya about the sound clip in Static (the rambling about God) and he said there was a woman who had a shortwave radio broadcast where she would talk about things like that, so one day the recorded it. Mystery solved. Cymbal Monkey fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Apr 18, 2012 |
