I feel like buying some new post rock. Any suggestions? I'm a big fan of the genre so would appreciate some more obscure recommendations if possible.
So far I've checked out Caspian who are a big fat meh, and Collections of Colonies of Bees who, despite their shitty name, are wonderful.
Pele
people from collections of colonies, and better to boot.

Only demos so far though
these guys are awesome
saw them on the same bill as my mate's band blew everything else away, shame i was the only one of my mates who actually appreciated it.
Bark Psychosis
Hex
the 'original' post rock album - the term was coined around it.
Its impossible to find nowadays though, so download it.
You wont regret it!!!!
im so nice

amazing
thanks...been meaning to check this out for ages.
and
there are a few other albums by them on that blog.... none as good as hex, though if you love postrock, you are definitely going to fall in love with them all
Ace!
Nice one for sticking that download up! I've been looking for HEX for ages but have never been able to find it online.
I thought codename:dustsucker was quality, so i look forward to hearing this.
x
you are in for a meg treat
hex is beaut
can you only download this if
you have rapidshare? been after this for aeons.
download part 2,
wait ten minutes then get 1... you dont need a license
ps
part 2 first because it is smaller and thus the wait time for part one to be available to you when you dont have a license is less
you sir
are a gentleman and a scholar.
Oh, and for more recent post-rockishness i recommend And So I Watch You From Afar. From the more brutal, riff-heavy end of the spectrum.
:D
post rock sux dude
gifts from enola!
fo' sho'
The new russian circles is wicked
and if you haven't already checked them out : yndi Halda are my favorite newish post rock band.

proper full throttle post rock genius - zero ambient textures - focus entirely on the rock.

Minialbum is amazing

Eluvium
(debatable whether or not post-rock, but you may still enjoy)
/thread
the whole point of this thread is that
i've heard all those bands you listed, and they're the ones that always get listed in these threads. hence me asking for more obscure stuff.
Well...
... even if this thread has been done to death, one great thing has come out of it.
The Bark Psychosis is a wonder, mightily swoonworthy... so, err, yeah, thanks for creating this 'dead thread' and thanks to dear Henry for posting that download link.
any time
spreading the love
constellation
just go to their website and choose a random band. sorted. hangedup are quite cool... just violins and drums... like a post rock dfa 1979 hahahahaha

http://plusminusdivide.moonfruit.com/
my band. only just started and it's kinda here and there at the mo.
stay tuned if u care tho. we have songs to record betterly then they'll appear.
Caspian
I think they're brilliant. To each, their own.
i've heard great things about them
but they seemed pretty standard to me.
This Will Destroy You
were good when I saw then the other day. Although I've not heard anything by them recorded, yet.
No one seems to have mentionedd
Saxon Shore, in particular the "exquisite death of saxon shore" is amazing
also
You may die in the desert - who inject some extra math rock into the standard post rock template might be a bit hard to get hold of their music though.
Scraps Of Tape
The Album Leaf
The Site of Future Rome
To Be A High Powered Executive
Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC + Start
Magyar Posse
Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson
The Cancer Conspiracy - who have broken up but I think their album was re released recently
Tarantel
Beware of safety
Codes in the clouds
^ most of these, too
Codes in the Clouds

Also the Errors, Do Make Say Think, Vessels, and Maybeshewill.
Jag Jazzist
Get 'What We Must'
*Jaga

also
The Swords Project
Union Station Massacre
Strap The Button
FractalPattern
From Monument To Masses
Yndi Halda
I don't know much post rock, but try...
Detwiije (sadly no more, but still worth listening to)
Lights On The Highway
They Don't Sleep (R.I.P, awesome band)
These?
I don't usually see much references to these, so give these a go..
World's End Girlfriend
Think bombastic neo-classical peppered with delicate japanese post-rock shattered into tiny fragments then reassembled into an shaky IDM freakout. Absolutely stunning and utterly unique.
Track: 'All Imperfect Love Song'
Album: 'Dreams End Come True' Noble records
http://www.last.fm/music/World's+End+Girlfriend
French Teen Idol
Beautifully crafted organic sounding, slow-motion ambient-electronica. Glockenspiels aplenty!
Album: Enlightened False Consciousness (download it for free at frenchteenidol.com) Net label
Jeniferever
Despite on drowned in sound records, they are rarely mentioned! Beautiful progressive post-rock, with subtle (yet rife) math-influences, breathy vocals (and great lyrics), fantastic drumming and occasional brass/strings bustouts. Essential listening.
Album: Choose A Bright Morning (D.I.S.)
http://www.myspace.com/jeniferever
Omega Massif
This band is you want to listen to if you've been disappointed with Pelican as of recent. Heavy, heavy, riffs-a-plenty, progressive post-rock with an underlying sense of beauty (keep listening if you cant hear it at first).
Album: Geisterstadt
http://www.myspace.com/omegamassif
no one have mentioned
maserati. listen to 'invention of the seasons'. not particularly post-rocky, but good instrumental trl band. i also second magyar posse and jaga jazzist. ef are also worth checking out.
shit
i meant 'invention of the cities'.
No you didn't
You mean 'inventions for the new season'. Great record though.
Her Name is Calla
'The Heritage' mini album is out in June, and it's a stormer.
Good calls on
From Monument to Masses
and
Jaga Jazzist
Never really see these bands mentioned anywhere, but they're both brilliant, especially Jaga Jazzist.
'Letter From America' - The Proclaimers
glad to see people
mentioning Jaga Jazzist and Magyar Posse.
Holy Fuck.
Part Rocket (jag!)
^
jaga jazzist i saw two years back (?) at astoria... awesome band!
Envy
Ferocious Japanese band, would kill Yndi Halda at 50 paces but have elements of that navel-gazing bombast thing, v.good. 'A Dead Sinking Story'
Envy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXzVxKUZlpc
the pirate ship quintet
^
i'd also suggest the shipping news:)
The Twilight Sad
Fairly post-rock, maybe a touch more shoegaze, but very very highly recommended, their album 14 Autumns and 15 Winters is wonderful!
Obscure?
Probably not, but:
Ólafur Arnalds
For A Minor Reflection
destroyalldreamers
The Evpatoria Report
sleepmakeswaves
Holoscene
Tunturia
Now Yr Taken
The Exploits of Elaine
And to each their own I guess, but Caspian freaking OWN.
Try
Cove, possibly, and a second vote for mono. And another one for from monument to masses. please try to avoid jeniferever...
UK post metal
If you like PELICAN, ISIS, RED SPAROWES, OLD MAN GLOOM etc check out these guys.
www.myspace.com/highschoolisdead
