I find I'm listening to a lot of this type of musically lately, It's calming

I've got quite a few albums from Explosions in the Sky, Caspian, Mogwai..

Any others people can reccomend?

Thanks

Classic post-rock

And if buying 65dos albums i would start with The Fall of Math

Frame352 · 17 May 2009 at 00:27

Mono! And té, if you can find them.

Also been listening to This Will Destroy You, and Yndi Halda lately. Both very good, imo

These are the ultimate post-rock band, once you've fully got into GYBE! no other band hits the same kinda highs, as a newbie I'd recomend you listen to the song "mono" or perhaps "Providence" as good introductions.

For Sigur Ros, a totally different kind of band you could have a listen to the more commercial Takk with the famous Hoppipolla or as I prefer Ágætis byrjun!

If you want to be really adventurous you should try ISIS's new album Wavering Deviant - it is utterly fantastic.

I got into post-rock quite heavily whilst at uni too man. Must be something in the... beer.

Check out Porcupine Tree.

Then marvel at how you had never heard this before and instantly fall in love with everything they've done.

Can't just be me? :confused:

Haha could be! I'm already quite fond of Porcupine tree

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, especially Liefrich and noodle, quite a list here now!

If you like Godspeed, you may also want to try:

Silver Mt. Zion
Do Make Say Think
Exhaust
Fly Pan Am

Most of these contain members of the godspeed group.

A million times yes

My top 3 would be:

1) A Silver Mt. Zion (better than Godspeed, IMO)
2) 65daysofstatic
3) M83 (Saturdays = Youth is amazing)
