Yeah, tickets for GY!BE in January. First gig in ages, obviously, and very much looking forward to it. Now I don't know how I feel... Just have to see what happens I guess.

hey guys and gals im getting really sucked into some more old school vibes and i was wondering if any of you can recommend post rock bands or even post metal stuff that sounds like Neil Young? Like on his sick solos with those chugging bluesy riffs that go on for minutes at a time, just this perfect fusion of psych rock and the precursors to more heavy metal riffs. stuff like EITS or Godspeed is obviously more orchestral and movement oriented, not as many instruments taking center stage. I guess im asking what are your, uh, grooviest post rock riff masters? I wish i knew more about music so that I could properly articulate it beyond this. Im talking about stuff that sounds like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNl13t9ZtmA and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX9k9aoX6gk as an aside, ive really mulled it over for a few years and i think I can definitively state that a different version of that song is my favorite piece of music and I really recommend everyone ITT who smokes weed and likes to rock listen to this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLOWuLaQTVQ that video got me through a lot of rough days. its about the same length of time as my old bike commute so I would pedal up, pop in my earphones, and I had my entire ride mapped out to the different parts of the song.

GodSpeed have postponed their UK and European dates in Jan/Feb. Rescheduled til September. Saves me the hassle of figuring out how much I wanted to go considering the plague numbers here, but still a shame for everyone with tickets. Also our heroes leave us with the following GSY!BE posted:upcoming scotland, u.k. and euro shows are all postponed. not because of pandemic, but because we're living through the mess that austerity has wrought- a death narrative writ by dumb boss-logic, where workers are expected to slave thru plague years w/no reward but more precarity. gently caress yes.

Hey post rock thread, you all seemed to enjoy my last album and I just released a new one today that I've been working on all year. It's one seamless composition from start to finish, something I've wanted to do for a long time but couldn't ever quite pull off until recently. It's in a similar vein as my last one - instrumental, lots of dynamics, loud abrasive guitars, sampling, cassette tape lops, ambient sections, spoken word - but I learned so much about production in the time between then and now and I feel like this one is on an entirely new level, both compositionally and production-wise. Bandcamp: https://deanhamilton.bandcamp.com/album/limina Get a free lossless download here or subscribe to support me and get access to unmastered versions of all my music Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/0uPdFLNl6MCBQ2BVtM6FX5 Hyperfollow page for all my links: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/deanhamilton/limina Youtube for the lazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVU4EGucD_c I also wrote up an artist commentary on RYM if that sounds like something you'd be interested in. And speaking of RYM, a rating would be super valuable to me if you're a user, album page here.

Speaking of Spotify, the algo on there recommended me a band called We Lost the Sea after listening to some mono and gybe, and they're pretty solid, but one of the tracks on the album I listened to has a bunch of samples from some audiobook about lucid dreaming or something, and it was just so obviously trying to be godspeed that it turned me off a little. The album was departure songs, apart from that it was a nice little listen, tho fairly derivative of all the big post rock bands.

Yeah that’s probably the weakest part of this genre overall. There’s really only a handful of basic ideas that lead you down the path of post rock or post metal, and unless you are laser focused on making your own unique sound be the focus of your band, and not just content on making musical variations in the same themes, then you’re basically gonna sound like EITS or GSY! or This will Destroy You, and sometimes you just end up with a band with a band like God is an Astronaut, a band whose sound is so unique and clearly defined that all of their music sounds completely identical. I have 5 GIAA albums I’ve listened to 50 times a piece and I couldn’t name a single song on any of them, because they all bleed together. Meanwhile I could probably write out the track list to every EITS or GSY!BE album from memory, because each of their songs has a different personality and idea, and different sounds between them. Another band that understands the right way to evolve and change tunes is Caspian, honestly maybe the best example of a band growing and changing their sound into something more unique and cool

I first got into post-rock with Caspian's Tertia, then later seeded a Spotify account with them (back when Spotify was a Pandora clone). I listened to a lot of post-rock at work for probably a year straight. There were maybe a small handful of songs that were mildly interesting at best, but by and large the majority was dull, overly droney, and unremarkable. Or too flowery and uplifting for my tastes (Caspain certainly does some of that too). This includes all the "big names" that frequently come up in this thread. That is, except for pg.lost and Jakob. Everything I heard from those two groups caught my ear immediately and I'm now a big fan of their work. So yeah, I'm picky and only like 3 bands of this type. I'd say keep listening, there's probably a group or two within the sub-genre that's right for you.

It took me like 4 years before I could listen to any post rock and not immediately just think “oh this is just [Band] but they [Slight Difference]” whenever a new band would get posted on the music forums, eventually you just have to make piece with the fact that slow, heavy, instrumental music is just gonna have a tremendous amount of overlap and there’s only so much you can do without incorporating more and more electronics, like 65daysofstatic or The Autumn Leaf

It does feel like post-rock bands get more poo poo for being derivative than other genres. Maybe because the genre was all about experimentation at the start and for the vast majority of post-rock bands now, it's very clear who they're imitating. But gently caress it, I'll enjoy a good EITS clone the same way I'll enjoy a good Motorhead clone.

Yeah that’s the one lol but it sounds so completely like a post rock band that I didn’t even think to check if it was right. That’s another band where I feel like I’ve listened to all their records over 10 times and I can’t remember any of it except for like my one favorite song.

I haven't listened to The Album Leaf in a while but he's so good. On Your Way was a song I used as an alarm for a while in high school when I used a CD alarm clock. It actually made me want to wake up and listen to the whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsu0b-aj4dI He recorded that album in Iceland at the Sigur Ros dudes' studio and they were involved in its creation, IIRC. I also really like Into the Blue Again, which is the first album of his I heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0cXDXriN0w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yc8vfHOHMI His stuff has definitely been influential on my own music-making.

In A Safe Place is the only Album Leaf album I know, tbh--but I've had it since high school and love it. Fantastic, the whole thing. "Eastern Glow" was my personal fav track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca0ZCbQ3ey0 when the strings come in at 1:22?

It's just the lack of lyrics/vocals/samples. GY!BE don't just get props for being first, they also (on their first two records) used vocal samples and found sound to help make their segments of music seem distinct. There are millions of songs that just go "G > C > D", but because they all have lyrics, it's easier to not say "meh, I've heard that before" because there's something in it that you literally haven't heard before

Did anyone else out there manage to snag a copy of BRUIT ≤’s new album on vinyl? It was in my top tier of releases from last year and getting it in a physical format was one of my biggest hopes going in to 2022. Digitally they’re still (and will likely remain so) exclusive to Bandcamp, but if you didn’t hear it last year now’s as good a time as any to get into it: https://bruitofficial.bandcamp.com/album/the-machine-is-burning-and-now-everyone-knows-it-could-happen-again Get in on that live recording in a church too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvbwR7v4v2w

A Thousand Arms just released their newest compilation Hemispheres: Volume VI. You can get a download code for Bandcamp here for each side. Side A is bands from the western hemisphere, Side B is bands from the eastern. If you’re a Spotify person they also put out the playlists for streaming, no Apple music yet  Spotify Side A Spotify Side B These comps usually have at least one or two new bands on them that I find myself getting in to, so they’re real good for curated discovery.

All Lights hosed On the Hairy Amp Drooling has apparently been ripped and uploaded. The GYBE discord claims it's real and is banning anyone for talking about it. Search for All Lights hosed on youtube and sort by new, it was uploaded early this morning.

There's a mega.nz link in the youtube description too. Efrim has said he still has the master tapes, kind of hoping this ends up like the Radiohead leak from a few years ago where they just release an official version since it's already out there.

I guess I just imagined that this leaked a while ago? I used to be a big GY!BE completionist, but in my later years I’ve tended to think of that tape as a bit of a red herring and that it’s reputation has far outstripped it’s potential quality. After all, if it was really good the band either would’ve reissued it or folded some of the music into later compositions. I’d be delighted to be wrong though

I'm listening on YouTube now. It's cool that it's finally out there, and I can hear some glimpses of what they would eventually become here, but I'm glad that their sound evolved from this. Anyone listen to the new Black Country, New Road album? I wouldn't call the whole album post-rock but the influences are undeniable. Getting some major Godspeed/A Silver Mt. Zion vibes off of tracks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTVwQ1Gjqas
