Well I've heard all of them, but specifically Gravyard Moutain Home gives me a very Tortoise feeling. You can listen to the whole discography at Chromakey.com

Wow. I'm now listening to track #6 and everything I've heard up until this track can be concidered post-rock. I'll listen to the rest tomorrow and see what those the rest sounds like and I'll listen to You go now too. So far I don't think he could be concidered Post-rock just because one of his album sounds like it, but if the second album is post-rock as well then I don't see why he should be kept in psych/space rock.

Yea. i remember getting the smae vibe from all his albums( but this was a long time ago, before I even knew what post- rock was) I havent heard them in a long time, so maybe its just GMH, or maybe its all of them.
 
I remember when i first listented to the three of them, getting a feeling of etheralness. just complete ambience and relaxation. This is the same feeling i get when i hear post-rock. And since I've been on such a big kick of post rock lately, i decided to go back and listen to GMH. it gave me the same feeling as it did before, tomorrow I'll listen to the others and see what happens.

Now that I've heard his/their whole discography, I still think he/they still belong in the space/psych genre. You Go Now has the same style as Dead Air For Radios wich is has more in common with space rock than post-rock. Although there are still some hints of post-rock in his sound on this album, the same thing can be said to Mogwai's Happy songs for happy people and others. Graveyard Mountan Home is still a very Tortoish album as you said and the first songs a pretty good to.

Yes, I have recently gotten into the eerie soundscapes of Post-Rock. "F#A#oo", "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven", and "Yanqui UXO". Everything by Sigur Ros is also beautifully ambient, just not as long. I desperately love the imagination and dreamy ideas I get from listening to this music.

Welcome to the club Penumbra! Those are the same things why I love this genre. I can just close my eyes and just let my mind flow. I would like to recommend you two albums to keep this musical journey alive and well

Explosions in the sky - The earth is not a cold dead place
Yndi Halda - Enjoy eternal bliss

Both albums sound happier than Yanqui and F#A#oo, but that doesn't detracts anything. They're still emotional and powerful.Thumbs Up

Bump.

Just letting you guys know that the band Saxon Shore will be added in a matter of days. Anyone interested in this band I recommend their 2005 album, The Exquisite Death Of Saxon Shore. It's a very optimistic band and it's very energetic as well. Creccendos? Who needs them! Saxon Shore gets down to business and doest it fast.
