Holy fuck this is so good
Don't miss the 2 Talk Talk albums that spawned this form of jazz post-rock. Some of my personal favs from my slowcore/post-rock phase>Songs Ohia, Ghost Tropic>Crescent, By the Roads and Fields>Bluetile Lounge, Half-CutYou might find these a bit on the folkier side though. Also don't miss out on Portishead, American Football, or Bohren & der Club of Gore. Legendary artists from very different genres, but similar energy.
>>130663156Arguably the first post-rock album ever, and it's one of the best for sure. This, Tortoise, Dirty Three, The For Carnation and Corea are peak post-rock. Talk Talk and Slint don't count, but both Laughing Stock and Spiderland are all time greats.
Tim Buckley invented post-rock:https://youtu.be/4h4t98LPBzo?si=CrqyGWVtdBG9xNL0
>>130663439Mark Hollis said that Tim was one of his major influences, and I can see that since there's no other record that sounds like both Lorca and Hollis' solo album.
love the album eyes and smiles and a street scene always did it for me but overall its an album to listen to back to front. anon is right that Talk Talk's 2 post rock LPs are oddly enough some of the best music to compare it to, this has to be from the organic improvised vibe of Talk Talk where they slapped together their jams (shame no other band ever managed to do that with their jams and not just make run of mill rock)
>>130663439Lorca is one of my all time faves but I never thought to think of it as an origin for Post Rock, the genre is such a vague branch of progressive/experimental so its hard to pin down. Driftin is more on the "rock" end of that album and even there I feel a sort of post rock vibe
>>130663156Nope

>>130663439how is that post-rock?
>>130663156i first checked this out after your thread about it a couple weeks ago and i agree, it is pretty good and i regret sleeping on it for all these years. it is hard for me to wrap my head around it being called "post rock" though because as a 90s kid i always associate that term with gybe, later swans, silver mt zion, explosions in the sky, et al
>>130663156Top 5 album for me. Eyes & Smiles is a miracle of a song and Absent Friend would be my standard of perfection otherwise, but the whole thing is incredible really.
I prefer the stuff on Independency and Codename Dustsucker
>>130669602I don't think I've gotten around to Independency but aside from the opener and Shapeshifting, I wouldn't call C:D better. More ambitious, maybe, but I think Hex is better song for song.
