dk2m posted:Are there any other bands out there like Toe, te' or Mouse on the Keys? Other than Miaou that is, just checked them out and they rule There's another Japanese band named Euphoria that you might like. I'm not too familiar with them but I believe the following track comes from their album "Silence in Everywhere" so if you like it then I guess you could check out that album first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDVRJmv3FZg As well, another Japanese band called Lite that you might be interested in. I'd say they're closer to Toe or Te' than Miaou (haven't heard Mouse on the Keys so I can't judge that) but more on the technical side of things. Their latest full-length, Phantasia, is great and I highly recommend it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc1yD9H7Rb8 homewrecker fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Mar 3, 2010 |

Rhgr posted:gently caress, apparently From Monument to Masses have disbanded, shame, easily one of the most original and creative post rock bands around and my most listened artist on last.fm From what I remember, one of the band members lives really far away from the other two so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a distance issue that caused it. At any rate, it's a shame, they were a fantastic band. I loved how well they integrated samples into their music.

joelcamefalling posted:UpC are criminally underrated. ...And the battle is won is a brilliant album that has never really left my rotation. You cant listen to 'Shallows' and *not* rock out. I really liked ...And the Battle is Won and Embers had some great tracks on it as well (I highly recommend both of those albums) but I did not care for their latest release at all. edit for content: I saw TheSilentBallet's review of Enemies - We've Been Talking and it caught my interest because they said they were similar to From Monument to Masses. I went to their myspace, listened to one track "Bits of Parrots" and fell in love right away. You can download that song (as well as another one) here for free: http://www.richtercollective.com/enemies/enemies.html myspace: http://www.myspace.com/enemiestheband homewrecker fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Jul 28, 2010 |

So UpcDownC posted a video for "Sons of the Desert" which is a song from their upcoming album called Calaveras. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X8U8qd2Ofg I really enjoyed ...And the Battle is Won and Embers but didn't care for Firewolf at all. I thought this track was okay, mainly up until the heavy part. Not that the heavy part was bad by any means but it feels like I've heard it many times before. Then again, I guess that's a pretty common thing for a genre like post-rock. Still, if the new album ends up being less like Firewolf and more like their other releases, then I will be happy.

Laura (Australian post-rock band) have just released their latest album which is titled Twelve Hundred Times. I haven't listened to it yet but I'm excited because I've really enjoyed all of their previously released music. Here are some youtube links to singles from the new album: Mark the Day - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwtgMQ8dwIc This Grey Earth - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Vuc12Q_8I Their bandcamp site: http://lauraisnotaband.bandcamp.com/

http://thesilentballet.com/ has started doing their year-end feature and while I'm sure we could have a whole discussion about whether or not we agree with their rankings, the more important thing to me is how many great releases I've missed this year. I'm a fan of LITE and yet I had no idea they released an album this year. Same with The Applessed Cast, I really liked Sagarmatha so I'm excited to hear the Middle States EP. It will be a few more days until the entire list is up but I can't wait to see what else I've been missing out on.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I feel bad calling myself a post-rock enthusiast yet only having heard like 5 or 6 of the albums mentioned in this list. But then I think about all the releases Silent Ballet reviews and how only a handful of them at most are really worth checking out, and then I don't feel as bad anymore. Well to be fair, that list isn't exclusively post-rock releases, there seem to be quite a few albums from ambient or electronic artists (as well as some stuff that falls under other sub-genres). So I imagine that even the biggest post-rock fans probably have never heard of a large number of artists on that list. Still, I felt the need to link to it because it was their 2005 year-end list that got me listening to post-rock so there may be some good releases on there that fit this thread.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I've found Johnnytwentythree, Joy Wants Eternity, Ef, Long Distance Calling, Destroyalldreamers and a few others through Silent Ballet that I really dig. But in my experience, there are more "meh" artists on there than real standouts, and looking up all the artists they recommend is weeding through a heap of unimpressive stuff to get to a gem here and there. That makes sense. And now that they're covering a wider range of genres, it only makes it more difficult to sort through it all to find stuff that you're interested in. But yeah, anyway, I finished listening to the new LITE album and I really enjoy it. If you've enjoyed their last few EPs (Turns Red and Illuminate) then you will certainly enjoy For All The Innocence.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I don't know if The American Dollar is more post-rock or ambient, but their new album Awake In The City loving rules. Full of lots of great textures. http://theamericandollar.bandcamp.com/album/awake-in-the-city According to their bandcamp page, if you pay $20 or more for this release, they'll e-mail you a link where you can download all 8 of their releases in MP3 format. Considering the fact that I've paid $20 for a single album before, and that I really like most (if not all) of The American Dollar's music, this is an absolute steal for me. Edit: It appears that the link they sent me is just a big zip file with everything in it (about 976 MB). I'm not complaining, just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who has limited internet speed/bandwidth. homewrecker fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Apr 1, 2012 |

I agree with you Rageaholic Monkey, I listened to the album and while it's not bad, it's not very memorable to me either. I didn't care for Age of the Fifth Sun, but I love Far From Refuge. I have no idea why I have never listened to their self-titled though, in fact I totally forgot it existed up until a few days ago when I was looking at their discography. I need to check it out, as well as revisiting their first album which didn't hook me when I first listened to it but maybe that will change.

I'm glad it's at Lee's Palace, I really like that place and this will be the third post-rock concert I've been to at that venue (first was Maserati and Mono, second was Godspeed You! Black Emperor).

I had no idea Toe was doing a North American tour, unfortunately the Toronto show is already sold out  I would have really liked to see them as who knows when they'll ever come back around. At least it prompted me to get my ticket for the Mono show in November. Speaking of Japanese bands, here's one that I recently discovered and fell in love with, they're called 3nd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxTjGMDkoq8

precision posted:Does anyone know where to find a higher quality version of this (archive.org maybe?) or even what show it's from? I think this is from a show played October 10th, 1998, in Chicago at a venue called Scuba's. I found an archive.org listing for GY!BE's set of that night but it doesn't include the specific song you're looking for as that was the last song of Low's set. https://archive.org/details/gybe1998-10-10 I've been trying to google around but I haven't had any luck finding a better quality version of it, sorry. homewrecker fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Feb 17, 2014 |

You'll probably want to check out bands that get labeled as "post-metal", seeing as how you already like Isis and Pelican, I think the next obvious recommendation is Russian Circles. Pretty much all of their stuff is good, you can start with their first album "Enter" and go forward from there. I'd also recommend checking out Capricorns and Tides, they both play instrumental sludge that's really solid. Gifts from Enola is another solid post-rock band that gets pretty heavy, I'd recommend checking out their first 2 full lengths and their split EP. There are quite a few other Japanese bands that play a similar style to Te', some of my favorites are 3nd and Lite.

It was only uploaded a few hours ago and I haven't seen any other details yet but let's hope we get a new release from them sometime this year.

Saw Caspian on Wednesday, and then saw GY!BE last night. Can't get over how amazing each of those shows were; not only did they sound great, they also had fantastic visuals (Caspian had really great lighting queues and GY!BE had some beautiful projected video). If you even remotely like either of those bands, you need to go catch them live.

I've never seen This Will Destroy You, but I can say that if you enjoy any of Caspian's music you definitely need to see them live. Hell, even if you don't like their music I'd still recommend seeing them anyway because their shows are fantastic.

Antigravitas posted:I've been on a bit of a post-* binge lately and stumbled upon a band I hadn't heard before: Tides from Nebula. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of them before since they are associated with Ulver and God is an Astronaut… It's neat to see how they've progressed. Their first album, Aura, is guitar-heavy rock/metal-ish stuff, while their latest album, From Voodoo to Zen, uses quite a bit of electronic elements. Solid band overall.

Ofecks posted:
Strymon Timeline is a Delay (I'd say it's the Delay version of the Strymon BigSky reverb), Meris Enzo (the gold-ish pedal on the right of the Timeline) is kind of a synth-ish pedal as far as I know, the Friedman BE-OD is a distortion and the Hotcake is an overdrive. Not sure what about that black pedal in between those two. Eventide H9 (right of the Infinity 3 Looper) is a multi-effects pedal if I understand it correctly. I think the Morningstar MC6 (underneath the Boss Reverb) is a footswitch MIDI controller.

I love all of Caspian's albums but I'm a little let down that the big announcement of theirs is just a deluxe version of an existing album and that it's vinyl only (for the time being). However, they did mention in an Instagram comment that their Live at the Cabot show should be available for sale soon, so I'm looking forward to that. I really like the contrast between Dust and Disquiet and On Circles - the former is so dark and heavy while the latter has a sense of hopefulness to it. It's difficult for me to pick one over the other but I will say that On Circles doesn't have the same kind of epic closer that you get with Dust and Disquiet's final titular track.
