Very jealous, I feel like they would be such an amazing live band.

This band is incredible. Also recommend Moving Mountains. They mix a bit of emo in there as well and that makes them more accessible.

It seems that great minds think alike, my friend :-)

[hoser1689]

smaller band you should all check out is "I Spell it Nature".

[ThisIsNotDan]

musician 1: "hey I wanna play relaxing music with guitars and drums"
musician 2: "great idea! uh uh...what uh...what do we call it?"
musician 1: "fuck...um...stuck, uhhhhhh how about post-rock?"
musician 2: "great!"

[InExile]

Im really not feeling this whole post-rock thing. Ive tried to listen to suggested post-rock bands and all it seems like is mellow music for 10 minutes with hardly any lyrics or vocals, just not my thing I guess. I first thought post-rock and prog-rock were the same and noooo they arent. I wanted prog-rock suggestions...oh well, I kinda liked Moving Mountains tho.

I agree with him, I think pre-rock is a more apt title

[Cuddleworthy]

eluvium is an ambient project. you could even call it 'instrumental', but there is nothing post rock about it

I was thinking prehistoric-rock. Ish.

haha I was just fuckin with you. I never listened to em but I feel like any predominantly instrumental band gets lumped in with post-rock

Eh...I disagree. They're both great though. ( ) is my favorite, I think, and then I like Takk and Agaetis Byrjun about equally after that.

If choosing to describe ambient and predominantly instrumental, then I always thought it was considered "post-rock", but if that's not a good term, then I'll just call it "awesomeness, er, rock." ;-)

Well now you know it's incorrect to say that.

I don't quite understand your need to be cryptic about it. It's pretty simple really; ambient instrumentation, plus either no or rarely used vocals equals post-rock.

[IntoTheSun]

I was being cryptic...how?

Like I said the first time, that's incorrect.

You responded to me with an ellipses, as if indicating that I should already know. And I guess that I should have consulted you, since apparently you're the only one on this forum who knows what "post-rock" is.

Post-Rock has been starting to bore me. It suxx.

Plenty of people know; you don't. She wasn't trying to flame you.

Didn't say she was, but everyone is implying that I'm wrong, so you might as well enlighten me on what you think post-rock is. Bands like Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros, MONO, God is an Astronaut, The Album Leaf, these are all bands I consider in that particular genre, and is that wrong? Hmmm....

I was refering to your previous post where you stated that ambient instrumentation and a lack vocals equals post-rock, and that just isn't true. Ultimately it is the use of traditional rock instruments to create a sound that is not typically associated with rock music. It's usually based heavily on the manipulation of timbers and progressions. To use post-rock as a blanket term to encompass all instrumental music is foolish.

I didn't imply that all instrumental music is post-rock; that's what you're not getting. I know that post-rock is the use of traditional rock instruments to create an inordinate sound, and also contains the infiltration of building arpeggios.

Me no estupido

The ladder statement was an attempt at a synopsis; I apologize if it wasn't detailed enough.

Sorry to project that implication onto you.

I'd agree with what you said in this post, but your previous statement regarding ambient instrumentation and little to no vocals was off the mark.
