say something nice about postrock
>>131241235idk what that is
>>131241235Swans mogGYBE a shit
It's a pretty good genre overall even though the most popular albums are just cinematicslop that overuses crescendos and saccharine violins and is about as deep as Hans Zimmer
>>131241235its what i think of when i hear the word "genre".
>>131241237Post-rock is a Rock genre with roots in, but soon rapidly distinct from, the European and U.S. Alternative Rock and Indie Rock scenes. The two key unifying musical elements among these bands are using instrumentation and riffs as facilitators for timbre, texture, and atmosphere, as well as embracing various styles and genres while distancing themselves from traditional rock structures. Despite multiple variants of the genre since its beginnings, these factors remain constant. Works are often instrumental and may also be lengthy in nature.
>>131241235Something nice about post rock
Godspeed gets old but they had their sound no doubt. Im more fond of post rock thats more like talk talk, or slint, swans even. More personality to it. >>131241237In the better days of /mu people like you would lurk longer until they learned more of the most famous acclaimed albums in the music world. To anyone who actually dives into music this is far from an obscure record and likely in the top 5 most notable post rock records.
I've been relistening to my GYBE records lately after probably well over a decade of not listening. Very good, forgot how great ADBA is, especially Mladic which might be their best track.Are the albums after Asunder any good? Never gave them a chance.
>>131241235early original post-rock >>> lame formulaic crescendocore
Am I wrong for saying that an ambient "normal" boring scene suddenly explode when you root around a little with different drum patterns?Ps. "Totorro" does that perfect
>>131241235Post some REAL post-rock bands>Tortoise>The For Carnation>Hood>Talk Talk>O'rang>Rachel's>Polmo Polpo>Movietone>Crescent>Yume Bitsu>Loose Fur>Pram>later Sonic Youth>A Minor Forest>Labradford>Windy & Carl>Enablers>late 90s Cheer-Accident>Downy>Long Fin Killie>obviously SlintIt can be the greatest ''genre'' of music out there when it's not formulaic crescendocore and taking cues from all strands of music instead
>>131241235sleeping on the beach is actually pretty comfy as long as you do it in a "nice" neighborhood if you catch my drift
>>131241237My rule is if it came out on Kranky Records then it's post-rock
>>131241502great list. don't forget Moonshake and Main
>>131241502>>131241547Cerberus Shoal - Homb is a great record too
Dirty Three is another fantastic post-rock band. You don't see them talked about here too often. Love their first album in particular.
>>131241242they mog brutally in funds. all the members of godspeed put together probably don't even have a 100th of michael gira's net worth
>>131241359I like some songs in Laughing stock but overall I feel it lacks the distinct moodiness and minimalism that we associate with post-rock. This Heat matched that vibe better imo https://youtu.be/wtuo57K3ERQ?si=7d-ykJBqNuvlhfyr
>>131241835>we associate with post-rockYou mean (You) associate with post-rock
>>131241301I thought rock was invented to turn the 30-100 person orchestra into a small 3-5 man concise unit. Then Post-Rock was to orchestrate symphonic music with this condensed rock instrumentation?
>>131241884Not at all. That was never the intent of the genre itself so-to-speak, which really wasn't much of a genre as much as an organic evolution away from what was considered the standard rock music pop song format. What you're describing is what it later turned into after GYBE and Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky got massive. Many of the early post-rock acts took more cues from jazz and the burgeoning electronic music scene than anything else.
>>131241797Poorfag butthurt
>>131241947i'm describing crescendocore? that makes more sense with Slint
>>131241502Cmon now literally most of the bands anon posted here >>131241502 have those vibes. Not saying Talk talk didn't have an influence but it leans more towards soft ambient rock vibes
>>131241983meant for >>131241856
>>131241962Slint didn't give a single shit about classical music whatsoever, or even jazz. They were kids who really liked Neil Young and post-hardcore music like Squirrel Bait and Big Black and jammed for hours and hours until they created their own unique space in music. Them having a recorded cover of Cortez the Killer ties it all together. I guess you could liken their music to certain contemporaries like Bitch Magnet but I don't know if they took cues from them per se.
>>131241983anon why are you so focused on the term ''vibes''? it's not a good look. also i think you'd click more with how post rock came to be by listening to ''krautrock''. you'd be surprised at the similarities between early kraftwerk, neu!, cluster, harmonia, and what was later classified as post-rock
>>131242030because music is a series of vibrations that resonate, dissonate or resolve?
>>131242030Krautrock is a remote influence but it leans towards jam wank more so than minimalism and moodiness, not the same thing.
>>131241983TT was like the ultimate convergence of jazz, especially ECM style jazz like Eberhard Weber and shit like that, and rock and cutting edge recording techniques. Hence, post-rock. The transcendental religious bent to it takes further into stratospheric territory. I really can't fathom how somebody could criticize them for a ''lack of moodiness'' of all things.If you want a more minimal take on that sound, then Mark Hollis' final solo album should have you covered.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFI0aPAQ7JM
>>131241235It's nice you can make posts from rock rather than just wood or shitty plastic.
>>131242063is Faust jam wank? that's literally where This Heat got their schtick from. all the tape fuckery and dissonant tunings and creepazoid vocals.
>>131242112That's only the first album, second album is more of an actual rock album rather than kraut tape & synth wankery
I don't know what it is and I refuse to learnPost-*thing* is the gayest nomenclature ever I just won't engage with it
>>131242164just like all the women refuse to engage with you KWAB
>>131242182*taps wedding ring*Nothin' personnel kid....
>>131242199nice beard
>>131242211Thank you for your compliment. I hope it will be as full as your mothers one day. kek.
>>131242211Jealous much faggot What an ugly emotionSeethe at my clan of Aryan blonde children while you're at itFuck post-rock and you are gay for liking it lol
>>131242255Lead me oh overlord of greatness!
>>131242255take a shower
>>131242272Step 1. Stop being such a faggot online or at least be funny about itIf you can manage that then it's just blasting babby batter raw in someone worth your time
you guys are so unchill can you stfu. talk about post rock not ur personal bs bc no1gaf
>>131242336I have never seen a satisfactory definition of the genre so all I can do is engage with permanently angry fucking dorks
what do u guys say is THE postrock album like post side of the rock kinda album?
>>131242392either hex or laughing stock
>>131242096I still hear this as complex soft music rather than post-rock. He likes moving here and there too much, it's not the same kind of droney dread unafraid to play one chord for 10 minutes, this particular track is also barely rock.
Its the 2nd most high IQ music, just under classical. Huge variety in the genre. It's amazing, but a damn shame what's become of it these days.
>>131241502TarentelGastr del SolCul de SacDisco Inferno
>>131244925>Tarentel ultra based. One of the greats.
>>131241237the absolute state of this board...
>>131243673iqtards will have you believe limiting your enjoyment of all music is the intelligent thing to do.
>>131245454I hope this summons the jefre cantu-ledesma poster
Where do I go from here? I've listened to most of the well known stuff but these are my top picks so far
>>131249396what do u think of the more "indie" sounding groups like unwound or slint
>>131241502you just googled 'post rock bands' didnt you
>>131242392maybe they will sing for us tomorrow by hammock
>>131249447NTa but not even Google would consider Pram or Sonic Youth post-rock, that's something you gotta figure out by ear.
>>131241235fart sounds with guitar made by hipster dipshits
>>131250957wdym fart sounds
>>131251855he was saying something nice. farts turn him on
>>131251912i dont think thats nice
>>131241235sure but post post rock first
>>131241884>I thought rock was invented to turn the 30-100 person orchestra into a small 3-5 man concise unitno, not the orchestra format but big band format.countries during ww2 were butthurt that young people ignored propaganda and orchestra, rebelled by going to clubs to listen to jazz music so the USA championed rock to sterilize jazz/big band. it's not a surprise that rock n roll was developed right after ww2rock n roll, just like jazz, was loved by non-anglos (see greasers) so the anglo sphere has to sterilize further. rock n roll was sterilized into rock.

>>131254527i swear to god "post rock" is just poor man industrial
>>131254656You just violated a solemn swear to God.
>>131254745AAAaaaaiiiieeeeeeeEEE
There is literally nothing wrong with crescendocore
>>131241235at least it's not asian pop
>>131242392>no come on die young in the first wavelol only a clueless pleb could make a list this shit
>>131256383everyone who could've put it in there died young back then
>>131254791crescendocore is intrinsically wrong
>>131257938how so?
ASMZ and half of Godspeed’s discography is really good. I like the minimalist plunks of China gate. Dirty three is really good
