Grow Till Tall on Go Live is amazing. I'm so glad I go to experience that live, from the front row

. Jonsi was tripping and knocking everything on stage over. He also tilted the mike stand which made if fall on top of a friend of mine.

Crippled Black Phoenix - I, Vigilante [2010]

Has anyone heard this album? It's probably in my top 5 albums of 2010. Maybe even top two! It's sort of post-rock but with vibes of Pink Floyd, ambient and indie.
Quote
Crippled Black Phoenix is a band from the United Kingdom, formed in 2004. The band has described their own songs as "end time ballads". And it constantly and legitimately refuses being tagged as "post-rock" or "indie-folk".

"Born from a blizzard of horned cats, Crippled Black Phoenix bring you a twisted cinematic experience, handcrafted by a mercenary crew of underground heavyweights, giving depth and gravity to regal songs about love, loss, tragedies and redemption."

check out these tracks!

Yeah it's an amazing record. CBP are a great band. Not sure I would call them post-rock though.

So yesterday i decided that i should give Sigur Rós an honest try, last time i tried them (about 2 years ago) i didn't really listen to a lot of the music i do now, so i feel more open-minded about music in general now.
Anyway, listened to Takk maybe 4 or 5 times in 2 days, and i simply LOVE it.
I don't understand anything lyric-wise, but the result of feeling lost is pretty cool, and the music is great.
My big question is, which album to go to next?
If it would help, it's hard to pick any favorite songs, because i think Takk is brilliant the whole way through, but Glosoli is my favorite, i think.

Go with (). Not as good as Takk, but still very good.

I've heard good things about AB, but I still haven't checked it out, which is something I need to fix, especially since its winter-time.

Not as good as Takk? ( ) is the best thing thing they made. Last time I tried to compile at 'top 10 albums of all time' list, it was at #2.

After ( ) , get 'Ágætis Byrjun 'and 'Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust'. You can't really go wrong with them, all their stuff is amazing.

Sigz · « **Reply #111 on:** December 20, 2010, 10:07:04 AM »

Ágætis Byrjun is amazing.

kári · « **Reply #112 on:** December 20, 2010, 11:02:21 AM »

I'd say get Ágætis Byrjun. It's what got the world into Sigur Rós in the first place. Then get ( ).

This, although Kari's point of view has something good in it too.
What side of Takk did you like? Maybe you should get an album that focusses more on that point.

Zantera · « **Reply #114 on:** December 21, 2010, 02:48:41 AM »

It's hard to say why i love Takk, i just think it has many great songs, and the songs i don't love yet, they still work very well to maintain a flow during the album, so i still find them to be very good.
I really love how unique the music is, post-rock isn't THAT fitting, i'd say it has chunks of ambient in it also.

kala1928 · « **Reply #115 on:** December 21, 2010, 12:10:48 PM »

A really good local band from Finland just released their second album. They are sort of post-rock/post-metal/dunnowhat. Check it out anyway.

Hmm I really need to be in a certain mood to enjoy post-rock. But when I'm in that mood and I put some on, it's an experience like no other.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #118 on:** January 19, 2011, 07:59:23 AM »

Seeing GY!BE live tonight

. I really cannot wait.

fucking exams.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #120 on:** January 19, 2011, 08:03:23 AM »

I was really lucky with the date, have a week off from uni this week. Been looking forward to today for months now, GY!BE is one of my favourite bands and I expect them to be nothing less than amazing.

This isn't really helping, is it?

Sigz · « **Reply #121 on:** January 19, 2011, 08:11:39 AM »

Enjoy, they were fucking awesome when I saw them.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #122 on:** January 19, 2011, 08:28:13 AM »

I've never been to a post-rock concert. Whats the crowd like? Just a bunch of people standing perfectly still?

orcus116 · « **Reply #123 on:** January 19, 2011, 09:37:09 AM »

Pretty much. Usually dressed how you'd expect a typical hipster to dress.

Sigz · « **Reply #124 on:** January 19, 2011, 09:51:52 AM »

GYBE was a pretty big hipster fest. The crowd at This Will Destroy You seemed like relatively normal people.

orcus116 · « **Reply #125 on:** January 19, 2011, 09:55:16 AM »

My friend and I played Hipster Bingo at the TWDY show we went to. Literally every cliche you could possibly think of was there. Plaid flannel shirts, thick black glasses, Chuck Taylors, wool caps in the summer, T-shirts with nonthreatening animals on them, you name it.

I read the gig at Cirque Royal in brussels last Saturday was absolutely amazing. I hope the same for you.

I just came back and it was absolutely fantastic. Maybe the best concert I've been to. They played Sleep, I can now die peacefully.

So i started talking to a former class-mate on MSN today, found out that he has moved to Japan, and is seeing 65daysofstatic, Mogwai AND GYBE! within 1 month.

This is not fair.

Will most likely go see Mogwai live in April, just need to play them for my dad, then when he approves, we'll get the tickets.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #134 on:** January 31, 2011, 06:03:10 AM »

If anyone is interested, this is a very good GY!BE bootleg (from the gig I went to). Good quality and good setlist;

Bump.

So, does anyone here listen to Cult of Luna?
Swedish band, that has been praised a lot by critics here, though I'm not sure how big they are outside of this tiny country.

The music is like a blend of Post-Metal, Sludge and Art-rock, overall I think the mix is interesting.
They have some long build-up songs which feels very Post-rockish, but then they get to sections where it gets really heavy, and the harsh vocals just adds another dimension to the music.
I really think a lot of you here would like them.

As a starting point, I think either Somewhere Along the Highway (my personal favorite atm.) or the newest - Eternal Kingdom would do it.

I have no idea if this band counts as Post-Rock or instrumental rock or whatever but they're fantastic either way.

Yeah, I listen to Cult of Luna. Very good Sludge band, though I would call them post-rock, I don't think.

In other news, Her Name is Calla is still amazing, and I still think you all should check them out.

Cult of Luna is quite good.
