I've been slowly getting back into post rock bands and been less interested in electronic stuff lately. However, after years and years of not keeping up with it, I'm totally lost in a sea of hipsterdom...how will people ever think I'm cool? ;) There are so many new groups out there and I'm sick of scouring myspace for samples of random groups who usually end up sucking.
Some bands I've been into are (in no particular order):
red sparowes
daturah
do make say think
mogwai
shalabi effect
mono
sigur ros
explosions in the sky
envy
the evpatoria report
tortoise
Any suggestions for other stuff in this vein that I should check out? I'm starting to feel like that old guy who's out of touch with contemporary music.
Also, I've been totally bored out of my skull recently. The prospect of sitting around in my apartment and tinkering on my laptop has finally lost it's charm. If anyone is in the NYC/brooklyn area and feels like dorking out over a coffee/beer or catching a show sometime, hit me up. | |

Honestly, I think the only reason it's called post-metal is so hipsters can feel comfortable listening to it.
It's still fookin metal.

Hi everybody. I'm in the same case than Tripnik, and bands from the label Ruminance was fresh air for me. Chevreuil is just enormous. Two guys, 4 amplifiers for the guitarist and a mad drummer... miam
Very very mathematical!!!

ah dude! totally forgot about radian! Thanks.
It's true that you can't dance to a lot of post rock bands, but I don't think music needs to be danceable to be good. It's fun as hell to listen to imho...songs tend to be pretty epic

i actually quite like Ian MacKaye from Fugazis new band The Evens, it's just him and Amy Farina from the Warmers, very stripped down stuff, only baritone guitar, drums and vocals. wasn't sure about them at first but it grew on me.
