humanflyz Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Let me just list some bands that I like and ask what other bands are in a similar vein. 1) Godspeed You! Black Emperor 2) Mogwai 3) Stereolab 4) Sigur Ros What are some bands that make music in a similar vein? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Stereolab doesn't really fit in with the rest of them, IMHO, but based on the GYBE/Mogwai/a little bit of Sigur Ros, I get: Do Make Say Think Mono (not the Japanese one, the other one) Explosions in the Sky King Black Acid Harder: Red Sparrowes Pelican Isis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanflyz Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Oops, forgot to include Isis, which I already love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 So then definitely check out Red Sparrowes, I like them even better than both Pelican and Isis. "Shoegaze metal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 If you are interested in checking out an older band that has a similar sound, you might be interested in Soft Machine. Their album "3" is a mess of a recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krrm Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Einstuerzende Neubauten, at least some of the later stuff like "Perpetuum Mobile" is similar to some of Sigurd Ros. The early stuff is, eeh well somewhat noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Oh, you might like M?m (Mum with the accent, not the other Mum). I liked Please Smile My Nose Bleed, Finally We Are No One, and Summer Make Good. They have sort of a Stereolab/Sigur Ros thing going on. And if you end up liking them, also check out Ms. John Soda and Psapp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungi Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Stereolab pulls from krautrock influence, so check that direction. Neu, Faust, maybe Tortoise if you want more stuff derived from krautrock. Isis -> Jesu, Earth, Sleep, boris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepak Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Damn during my post rock obsession phase I discovered a ton of bands. I started to get burned out since a lot were just Explosions in the Sky ripoffs. Lis Er Stille The Pirate Ship Quintet We're From Japan! are worth checking out. I'll see if I can think of more.

deepak Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Oh yes I have to mention Larsen. They are one of the better post rock acts. Play is my favorite album by them. Nest - Trail Of The Unwary is more ambient Finnish folk also one of my favorite albums of 2007. decent summary of them: Trail of the Unwary is the new album by Nest. A Finnish band that plays ambient and acoustic Folk, with musical themes inspired by Finland's forests, animals and well, nature in general. The main instrument being used is the ancient Finnish Kantele( a stringed instrument) I feel it gives the music a beautiful Medieval sound. Synths are used in a superb way along with lapland drums. According to Corvus, Nest's label in Bulgaria, Aggalloch's members contribute backing vox. I'm certain I hear J.Haughm singing on a couple of the tracks. For me, the music conjures up grace, honor and nobility. An outstanding brick of music. Along with "Novella Reservoir", TOTU will be in my years top albums. Highly recommended. Peace. edit: and A Silver Mt. Zion is a GY!BE side project that is alright. Samuel Jackson Five - Easily Misunderstood another decent post rock album. Saxon Shore - The Exquisite Death Of Saxon Shore sort of like EitS, but more interesting. And Russian Circles is a bit harder more post metal ala Jesu or Isis. Saved the best for last. If you're only going to check out one then check out: Six Organs of Admittance - School of The Flower. Hella awesome acoustic/ambient folk album.

kpeezy Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Talk Talk - Laughing Stock is one of the earliest albums in this genre and it's pretty awesome especially in context of when it was made. Ghosts and Vodka is another band that would fit in here.. Do Make Say Think was my first thought but someone already posted it They're awesome.
