new sound

[Vanity__Dearest]

i've listened to alot of post-rock or whatever you want to call it lately, and i have a few bands to suggest for people who think a little out of the box or would like to. feel free to add your's to the list, i would love to hear new stuff

1.) caribou
2.) architecture in helsinki
3.)boards of canada
4.) 65 days of static
5.)casino versus japan.

*bump*

[Love As Arson]

Those aren't post-rock bands. Post-rock bands are:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Mum
Sigur Ros
Explosions In The Sky

[Mercy Medical]

Genres are so fuckin' confusing these days.

[Andy]

TV on the Radio possibly

[Louise Heng]

Those aren't post-rock bands.
pretty much, but those bands are still awesome. Caribou & Architecture in Helsinki are some of my favourites.

i agree...everything is so blended i don't know why people insist on trying to label bands

I just get so confused, I try not to label the stuff I listen to. I'm more likely to name off bands I listen to then genres if someone were to ask me what I listened to.

[exthuse]

Post-Rock....is that even possible?

Board Of Canada is awesome. That Gaddachi or what album pwns


EDIT: Geogaddi

[Vanity__Dearest]

yeah gaddachi is incredible...and caribou is one of the best bands i've heard in awhile...and yes i know, i don't see those bands specifically as post- rock...and i listen to tons of mum, explosions in the sky, mount st. zion, fly pan am...all that stuff, i was just reading pitchfork tho, and they we're saying that caribou was post rock...idk, just figured i'd throw it out there like that, cuz i didn't have a genre to classify it as really...and

SPOON.

if you like boards of canada, i recommend hearing in a beautiful place out in the country by them. i got the song last night, it's really beautiful

yeah, that's how you spell it, i got confused just like you lol

[Mercy Medical]

Someone define post-rock for me...haha

[Vanity__Dearest]

lol post-rock...well i'll try. if u've listened to sigur ros, or godspeed...it was basically coined for bands who rid alot of the "guitar" sound for something very airy, and use alot of synethic sounds and very soft ambient backgrounds and buildups...it has the catch of a rock song, without the heaviness of a rock song. well, that's how i look at it.

You missed that? Oh good Lord, I miss most of it too, but I read it later. All the leaked album type threads were deleted and then there was a big fight over it. It was really stupid. :P

I'm always down for checking out new stuff. I love the stuff I listen to now, but it gets kind of old after a while.

[Lueda Alia]

[Vanity__Dearest]

[Hilikus]

Boards Of Canada are sweet.

[Vanity__Dearest]

yeah, boards of canada are really good...i just heard those guys a couple nights ago while inebriated a little bit...it was good fucking shit. my guitarist and i just sat at his comp and went through his 5000 songs, it was great....lol...any other bands that you think i should check out that sound like it.

I don't like John Mayer...but I like this cd. Check it out.
