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.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

my suggestions:
Koi, amazing debut album, they have an unique sound, mix Mogwai, Alcest, shoegaze AM (Autumn Moonlight), Argentinean band very similar to God is an austronaut
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)

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?

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.

The new Post Rock/Post Metal/Math Rock Thread, so people share your love for posty music here . Mogwai announced world tour this year, but there is no Balkans date, damn.
