i've just checked Kimika's Octobre, one of the best post rock releases in the 2010, splendid album, some soothing tunes, slowly developing it's epicness bursting into heavy wall of sound, similar to Mono, Explosion in the Sky, Mogwai, the sound i will never get bored with.

Nice quote:

"The whole thing about being in this band is never repeating yourself. I've always tried to surprise myself and other people as well, f**king around with people's preconceptions about what you're about and stuff. I really get a real huge f**king kick about giving people the wrong impression. Or twisting things around. Like, it might sound initially sweet, but it ain't. Or vice versa."

Can anyone guess who said it, or what band was it about? Big smile

Copy and pasting from my OP from the apparently superfluous post rock thread I just made:

A couple months ago, my blessed friend Keith introduced me to Sigur Ros. He got me to try their three albums that he considered the best: Agus Byrin (probably butchered that spelling), (), and Takk.

I found it to be some of the most beautiful music I'd ever heard. Agus Byrin is my favorite. It has a sound that the term "spacey" is usually used to describe, but I think in its case "underwater" fits better. Come to think of it, back when I was first trying to explore prog, I should have listened to Sigur Ros. It's kind of exactly what I was hoping to find.

Yesterday I decided to search google for what were other famous post-rock bands. Names I kept hearing were Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Mogwai.

I listened to a Godspeed You! Black Emperor 23 minute epic song on youtube. It was mindblowing.

I've decided post-rock is my new music obsession for the next few months.

In fact, I've decided to limit myself. To keep from getting overloaded with too much new music, until June I'm only allowing myself to acquire progressive music I haven't heard from Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, and Explosions in The Sky and will only be hearing new pop music from Owl City and the upcoming Lady Gaga album. (Yeah I know... haters)

2nd to new Grayceon being awesome. Early leader for album of the year for me. (yeah one full listen and a bunch of sampling of the tracks they gave out early.) It's better than anything in 2010 though.

I like the new EITS, nothing new indeed, "for fans only" but I'm a fan Tongue

I didn't know, but Tuna Laguna have a new album ready, and they released a single here: http://tunalaguna.bandcamp.com/track/funtitled%20" rel="nofollow - http://tunalaguna.bandcamp.com/track/funtitled

Sounds like they're stepping further away into nu-jazz territory, close to Jaga Jazzist for example. I'll love this album if it's like that!

Also, the new Ulver is very good. The best album from our "turf" in 2011, so far.

I discovered Jakob back in November, and they're excellent, especially their album Solace.  Probably my favorite discovery in a while. 

I've been listening to a lot of post-rock/metal lately, especially these albums:

Callisto - Noir
Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm
Crippled Black Phoenix - I, Vigilante

GYBE
Pertegó
Explosions in the sky
Evpatoria report
A silver mount zion
Tortoise
God is an astronaut
Maybeshewill

The last work of Explosions in the sky is mmmmm well....more or less interesting, you know...is happy for moments, in fact is more dynamic than Earth is not a cold dead place, but without this feeling of melancholy and the epic passages

I like the new Maybeshewill, very interesting, i cannot say they brought something new, fresh ideas, but anyway , worth hearing
new  And So I Watch You From Afar is kinda awful

The Eternal Twilight and Circadian Eyes are both really good.

Oh, and we're playing a show in Baltimore at the Charm City Art Space with Sunlight Ascending and The End of the Ocean on June 27th. I know you've heard of Sunlight, but The End of the Ocean is equally as fantastic. If you're free you should go! Also, pre-orders of our physical album (remastered by a Swedish producer) will be available soon. The new masters put the old recordings to shame.

I'd like to heap some love onto Caspian.

I've associated posty stuff with Sigur Ros and stuff like that. Russian Circles is nothing like that. just wondering.

It's not considered Post Rock. It's Math Rock (with a good dose of Post Rock, truth be told).

Have fun with it. For me it was love at first listen. Smile

GY!BE and This Will Destroy You are my 2 fav post rock bands, and of course the classics like Explosions in the Sky and Oceansize. I have one album by the band Maserati and it is one of the best things I've heard in a long time. Amazing stuff.

As for the metal side: Pelican, Isis, Cult of Luna are the tops : D

I like Tunnel Blanket a lot, I'll probably rate it ****. Hardcore is good but IMO just more of the same, like the new one from EITS is too. I like both of them but I'd rate them ***.

BTW I read your reviews and I have a problem with this phrase: "Much like their post-rock contemporaries This Will Destroy You, Mogwai dished out another excellent 2011 release that may be even better than the former." Mogwai are veterans, TWDY are newcomers, I see them as representing different ages of the post rock movement (even if right now they are, technically, contemporaries).

BTW I read your reviews and I have a problem with this phrase: "Much like their post-rock contemporaries This Will Destroy You, Mogwai dished out another excellent 2011 release that may be even better than the former." Mogwai are veterans, TWDY are newcomers, I see them as representing different ages of the post rock movement (even if right now they are, technically, contemporaries).


Oh alright, do you want me to go change that?


Sorry, I didn't see your reply. Only if you feel like! It's just a suggestion.


Also thanks to this thread I got to check out both the albums by And So I Watch You From Afar. That was a neat idea. The new album is nowhere near as effin' brilliant as the debut, but still very good. Excellent find overall.

No words can express how brilliant this is, it just graces the ear like a pillow of sound.

No doubt, it was a stunning listen to say the least.

I thought Gangs was on par with the debut. They successfully captured a more "fun" and accessible sound, while maintaining their aggressive energy and weirdness.
Also their Letters EP is really good, if only for the first track

^ didn't know about the EP, I'll check it out.

Also, check out the newly added Vampillia and Battlestations. Vampillia are one of the most interesting bands in recent years; they play both loonier GY!BE-like stuff and avant-metal like that of Unexpect. Battlestations are a nice atmospheric/ambient band, and they give their CD for free in exchange for reviews (see http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79003" rel="nofollow - here ).

New Dirge is fantastic, one of the best post metal albums i've heard recently. New Caïna is very good, i like it. The Seven Mile Journey's new album is enjoyable listen, it doesn't bring new concepts but still very good stuff.

Those who like Long Distance Calling (and I've seen there are quite a few!) need to check out the newly added ../artist.asp?id=6558" rel="nofollow - Vessels .
