That album is so damn rad. Hopefully their next album is better than Rave Tapes.

Does this count as post-rock?

I know it's a pretty new album but this just absolutely blew me away.

>>45023050
This and pic related are two favorites of mine. I don't like post-rock that much, but the albums I like I like a damn lot.

Are they singing about mail? If so then it is post rock.

>>45023050
>If it counts

Yea, it's highly unlikely that one of the most seminal and important Post-Rock albums would be considered Post-Rock...

>>45023093
Every time someone on /mu/ calls it post rock a legion of people come in calling it math rock and post hardcore

genre semantics arguements are the stupidest things ever

>>45023093
You are right, but I can understand the reason of his uncertainties, for example Post-Rock is commonly instrumental

>>45023076
>Fucking firstwavefags, go tip your fedoras elsewhere
Nice Sigur Ros rip off, bro-st rock, new friend.

>>>/reddit/

How do folk feel about Post-Rock that's starting to basically morph into all out Modern Classical (Stuff like Esmerine or Rachel's for example)? When does Post-Rock end and Modern Classical begin?

Spiderland is called post rock because it heavily
influenced established post rock bands such as Mogwai and Godspeed, and its sound can be heard in the music of those bands.

>>45023143
what the fuck does this post mean

>>45023050
Spiderland without a doubt

>>45023159
Yndi Haldar are a rip off of Sigur Ros and your taste in crescendo-core post rock(or more appropriately, bro-st rock) is shit.

Would this be considered first wave or second wave? Dirty Three were around during first wave for sure, but this album was released AFTER F#A#, which most would agree is when second wave started

anyway

Yeah, this is a post-rock album imo

>>45023176
I'm particularly fond of The Restless Waves. Amazing album everyone should listen at least one.

Band is Neil on Impression. Favorite track is Perde Pezzi Di Se'

>>45023191
Plebbitors simply lack the class that it takes to appreciate first-wave, good sir

Let's not pretend that /mu/ is much better.

>>45023211
It is about post-rock

Solid release.
>Fav song
The Murderer Victim Monologues

>>45023191
Fuck you, Rushin' Squircles are great

>>45023238

Not really. Third wave is far over-represented and even then it's only the most hyped (by publications and Pitchfork) bands that get any focus.

I can't recall ever seeing Bark Psychosis, Rachel's, any Constellation artist that isn't ASMZ/GY!BE being mentioned, for example.

>>45023270
The fuck? /mu/ loves Bark Psychosis. Literally every time someone asks for something similar to Laughing Stock, Hex gets posted. I've seen Rachel's mentioned before as well.

>>45023284

I've recommended Bark Psychosis a few times to folk. With the exception of one of those times people have jumped down my throat telling me that it isn't Post-Rock.

You guys make me hate post-rock

this has happened a lot to mono's sound.

i really don't mind it. the problem with post rock is that it can get repetitive. every album starts to sound the same as the last. it's a difficult for the genre to evolve. that said, mono is my favorite post-rock ensemble. fantastic live performances too. surprised no one's mentioned them here yet

>>45023542
Personally i think they deserve that though, obviously of course there's Slint as well.
Set Fire to Flames, Siler Mt. Zion, Mogwai are also some Non first wave ones that are discussed here a bit

>Letters To The Metro
>Not the best song on this album.
>Not one of the best songs Mogwai's ever recorded.

>>45023563
well if you liked stereolab theres a chance youll like ram even more heh, helium, moving frontier and dark islands are pretty great, fuck i like them all except their first album and sargasso sea

>>45023597
>the problem with post rock is that it can get repetitive. every album starts to sound the same as the last
Real fucking ironic, ain't that? What WAS great about post-rock is that there was no song structure at all. Bands were free to do whatever they wanted. You had jam sessions of feedback like After the Flood, you had push-pull climaxes on Good Morning Captain, and you had 20-minute explorations of electronics and guitars on Djed. Now everything is just
>slow guitars
>drums kick in
>more guitars
>climax

>>45023716
You get it.

This is why first wave post rock is the best. Now every post rock band is a rip off of Godspeed, Mogwai, Sigur Ros or a combination. Slint, Tortoise, Talk Talk, Stereolab, Swans(Soundtracks for the blind) were all vastly different from one another.

Explosions In The Sky, This Will Destroy You, Yngi Halar, God Is An Astronaut... All of them sound the exact fucking same.

Godmode : no GY!BE-related band.

but seriously how could you have liked this over their other two?

Are You There is fucking depressing.

>>45024501

That album is fucking perfection

>>45024593
It's like you haven't even listened to Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain

>pic related
>The Sound

>>45024617

Eh, I forgot about that album. I liked that one too. Just that I prefer You Are There.

>>45023804
Back in 2009-2012 we, russfags, had cozy board about post-rock (I miss that times).
Anyway, what most of us thought is that post-rock died when a lot of bands came around 2006-now and copied (well tried to) eits/mogwai sound (yea, let's just put some more fucking delay). So, what we have now is basically delaycore/eits-rock and this shit sounds nothing like first wave or early second wave.

>>45023153
>When does Post-Rock end and Modern Classical begin?
When they stop using guitars.

>>45024501

I want a new Shels album more than anything

>tfw Leaving The Plains

>>45023201
But that could apply to Krautrock, Prog rock and avant-garde music too

>>45024823
>krautrock
Well, such bands as Tortoise, Cul De Sac, Stereolab etc. are krautrock-influenced. You can't ignore that.
And yes, it's hard to describe what actually post-rock is. Like it's hard to describe what krautrock or avant-garde is.

God Bless Our Dead Marines

>>45025125
Yes, as far as Mono solo work goes, but Mono/WEG is far better, it's an amazing album.

>>45025142
I love how that albums sounds like one song.

Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upwards is I think one of their best
>>45025155

they're both good. I just cant really get into You Are There, too much guitar noodlan

This album is waaaay better than people give it credit for. Sure it's got a pretty different sound compared to their earlier stuff but it's cohesive as shit, and nice to listen to.

Tiger Girl is far and away one of the best tracks on this album

>>45024236
Something like Wah-Zoh Tan-Pet (don't pronounce the 'n' in 'tan').

>>45023284
Codename: Dustsucker is a very good album as well.It gets overshadowed by Hex.

Greatest album of all time so it should be the greatest post rock release.

Favorite song: After the Flood

>>45027695
as a side note it's my favourite album too and after the flood would be my 2nd choice

>>45027766
Nice double dubs.

Anyways After the Flood and New Grass are the undisputed GOAT Post-Rock tracks in my mind.

Post Rock newbie here
I listened to Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden, Slint's Spiderland, Tortoise's Millions Now Living and most GY!BE's albums and liked them all very much.

Any recs for someone new to the genre?

>>45028416
definitely get in bark psychosis' hex while you're in early. its like talk talk meets joy division

>>45028416

I can't believe how pathetic you all are.

Not only do you think that your taste in music means shit about yourself in comparison to others, but you actually are emotionally invested in a website to the point where you actually make a point to go out of your way and try to show that 'your website' is better than 'their website'.

You're a fucking loser.

>>45030482
They split up years ago. That record goes for about $150 now, which one of the members said was ludicrous on last.fm and said people should just download it. I haven't heard them but a few of them are in The Universe.
