Post rock in Spanish or Latin

I am looking for recommendations of post rock songs or albums with lyrics in Spanish mainly that stand out for the lyrics, for example the band archipelagos since it is the only band that gives enough weight to its lyrics. I am relatively new to this musical genre since I listened to rock more math

Hope of the States - Long Waits in A & E

Can't believe the new HOTS song hasn't been posted here yet. My original gateway Post Rock band 20 years ago, back with a bang. If they were once bordering indie, all signs are that has been buried by a return to weird, wonderful 11 minute post rock brilliance.

TWO FREE TICKETS to This Will Destroy You tonight in NYC

TICKETS ARE CLAIMED! Thanks for the help everyone.

I can't make the show anymore and tried to sell these earlier this week but didn't have any offers so I'm feeling generous.

TWO FREE TICKETS TO TWDY TONIGHT @ The Meadows in Brooklyn.

I prefer to transfer both tickets over in one shot so please take the pair if you can. Talk a friend/significant other into coming with you. TWDY kick ass live and I am super bummed to be missing the show tonight.

Tickets are in the dice app which means you will have to give me your dice account info in order for the tickets to be transferred.

Shoot me a message on here if you're interested. You have to reply by 8:00pm today cause the transfer option is cut off @ 8:30pm.

I'm looking for some "euphoric" post-rock music

These past few days I've been listening and enjoying Sandness' "I want to be there" a lot and I was wondering if there are other albums in the same vain.

At large, I'm looking for some hopeful, uplifting, euphoric-sounding post-rock / ambient music. I'm not looking for something that sounds sugary happy, but something that makes you want to scream at the top of your lungs, to help you find light in dark times.

2 free tickets to TWDY tomorrow - who wants em?

SSIA. But there is one catch - you need to buy me a 2XL shirt (preferably the orange logo one) and I will also pay you for it, but I can’t go and you need to buy it for me lol

The show tomorrow is at the Space Ballroom in CT and is AWESOME and small, and I wish we could go but we just did 3 nights of Phish, I have rehearsal tonight and a show Thursday, and then we have Dark Funeral/Gwar Saturday and David Gilmour at MSG on Sunday so need to rest and carve our pumpkins.

Hit me up!

Hey all! My name is Greg, and I lead the New York based music project Secret Gardens. New album 'The Impermanent Amber' out now. Ask me anything!

The Impermanent Amber is the final installment in a tetralogy of records that sonically represent each season. You can check it out here:

https://song.link/theimpermanentamber

here's Bandcamp, Spotify, and all other links.
& here's some verification, lol.

We are playing this thursday (halloween) with This Will Destroy You in Providence, RI. We have other shows on the horizon, and will be touring in 2025.

I also am the touring guitarist for A Lot Like Birds. Happy to answer whatever questions you have! Cheers!

Edit: seems like the questions have tapered off now, i had a great time answering them. If you have another one drop it here, who knows i might answer when i’m bored! thanks everyone!

Oh my heart...the new Unreqvited song.

Woke up to a notification of the new song by Unreqvited - The Starforger on my lock screen.... My gods...it is stunning! Been a huge fan of theirs for a few years and it is a dying wish to see a show someday! Anyone else?
