Mooncake-Lagrange Points

On their second full-length, the Russian post-rock band Mooncake expands upon the twinkly, atmostpheric, but-still-epic sound of the Texas heavyweights with great results. This album has been receiving loads of attention and acclaim in the post-rock scene. Excellent stuff.

If you are a fan of EITS you must check out This Will Destroy You....they are the pinnacle of the Post-Rock genre...

That's a highly subjective statement. While I certainly enjoy them, many, I'm afraid, would disagree with such a lofy claim, especially since they have only two releases. You might wish to rephrase that to "the pinnacle of recent entries to the post-rock genre." Saying they're the be all end all is placing them above Mono, Mogwai, Godspeed, and EitS--a dangerous and dubious move.

Beside all of this, I don't think TWDY really belongs in this forum b/c they are quite well known, and this is more for obscure artists.

Mogwai owns all.
