Anyone got any tiny post-rock bands they just absolutely love? I feel like everyone's got at least one of these.

I found this band called Ana Never that makes absolutely beautiful post rock, and they have only 131 monthly listeners on Spotify.

I think I've spent half this year listening to God is an Astronaut, and especially their Somnia album. Any recommendations on albums (by other bands) like Somnia?

Also a banger of an album.

What are some of your favorite postrockish songs written by non-postrock bands?

Some of my favorites are:

• Splintered Instrumental by Aisha Badru Love the slow progression of this one.
• Session by Linkin Park This is one of LP's most underrated songs IMO.
• Dimensions by Arcade Fire, Owen Pallett Love the atmosphere of this one. It's admittedly not that postrocky, but gives me the same vibes. Also this is one of the soundtracks of movie Her.

It's that time of year where we once again nominate & vote on our favorite post-rock music of the year! We follow a similar model to other music-related subs and will vote based on three categories: Song of the Year, Debut of the Year and Album of the Year.

listening to this album right after the earth is not a cold dead place is a lot like watching the series 'dark', if that makes sense.

Hello, excuse my ignorance, could you tell me some songs that start with a dialogue/phrase or a setting or reverse effect before starting? Like an intro so to speak. For example, when I say phrase/dialogue I mean something like this: Retreat! Retreat! -65daysofstatic https://youtu.be/oNozbvQMTwk?si=xiAwaWSgSjzqSkzB And when I say “reverse” effect I mean something like this: The cat is a landmine - 65daysofstatic https://youtu.be/EBMSWsxmxlI?si=wb5ewriY3EGBX1KI Or the classic Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park. I don't know if I understand it hahaha, greetings.

Hello All, old guy from MPLS taking the train to CHI for the mono show Tuesday night- I’ve got a free ticket for whoever wants it- wife can’t make the trip- anyone want to meet up for beers before the show? Great BBQ place around the corner

"I recently came across a music video from Indianapolis artist Loud Diamond that I thought was worth sharing. The track features members of the band ByBye, and the video was created by local artist Nate Gonzales, who's known for his work in the scene. It's got a unique vibe, blending post-rock, dreamy instrumentals, and found footage—perfect for anyone who enjoys music that feels like an escape. Check it out here:

i'm pretty new to the genre, so i'm looking for recommendations! so far, i know that i love most songs where violins/cellos/violas are prominent, and i also generally prefer primarily instrumentals

As a post rock/metal/shoegaze guy I always thought the instrumental version of this track would go over well with the community. Curious what you all think, 7 mins with an epic, building ending.
