Sorry for another music thread, but this deserves a new one. I discovered post rock a few months ago, it is by no means new and is simply instrumental rock.

Such bands include God is an Astronaut, Mogwai, and Sigor Rós. I just wanted to share it with you all, its simply a beautiful genre.

Here is some from of the simply amazing Irish band; God is an Astronaut:-
All is Violent, All is Bright
From dust and beyond
Remembrance Day

Icelandic Sigur Rós:-
Olsen Olsen
Svefn-g-englar

From New Zealand, Jakob:-
Oran Mor

Scottish Mogwai:-
Take me somewhere nice

From Austin, Texas...Explosions in the Sky:-
Your hand in mine

If you have anymore, please share

I just love anything from Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

My favourite songs are Sleep, Storm and Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls.

That is simply amazing my friend, thank you.

You're welcome

Mogwai - Auto Rock

This one was my introduction to post-rock. I can't say many other songs of this genre have interested me much, but I really like this one.

EDIT: Ah, I see the OP already mentioned Mogwai, but not this particular song.

Do Make Say Think (Canada)
Dirty Three (Australia)

God Is An Astronaut

Thanks, thanks dear audience.

I have two albums from Explosions in the sky but it's the first time I have heard of the term Post Rock.

I actually just bought the album base on the cover art alone (the earth is not a cold dead place), and I really loved it, it feels a lot like the instrumentals from The Music, and to my surprise they are from Texas!

One of my greatest musical find in this year.

Love post rock!!!

Juno - We slept in rented rooms
Modest Mouse - Bukowski
Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know? :expressio
Grizzly Bear - Foreground <3
Built To Spill - Nowhere Lullaby
A Weather - Spiders, Snakes <3333

Try to look for Duyster compilation cd's.
BEST cd's ever made imo.
Not all pure post rock, some indie / folk stuff. Some 100% instrumental, some with vocals.
But who cares about labels/genres Just check em out, im sure you'll love it

Most of these (except maybe Juno) are just indie rock--don't really fit the "post-rock" genre.

Somehow I miss Tortoise ...damn I love this band

As i said before, who cares about genres
What matters is the gloomy / lo-fi atmosphere in the songs.

Some of the bands i mentioned have mostly more rockish songs, but i thought the ones i posted would fit this thread.

And indie is a very broad genre, afaik post-rock is even a subgenre of indie.

Oh well, most bands dont even know themselves what genre theyre part of.

Argh stop using the word indie! Indie is a way of doing business, not a style of music, arghhh. Sorry, that just really gets on my nerves.

Well, this is a thread about a specific genre.

Hard Rock, not post rock, you post.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

epic win.

I bought a Godspeed You Black Emperor album (Lift your Skinny Fists) on the strength of the first song, which I still like- but I actually felt the album as a whole was a bit of a letdown.

I'm pretty bored with most rock, post or otherwise, these days. There are still good bands around, but nothing has really leapt out at me for years.

Been a fan of Mogwai / Sigur ros for several years and its the first time I hear about the post-rock label.

Reading together the words rock and sigur ros just doesnt feels right...
