Just wanted to shout out my appreciation for this band and this album in particular. I found them around a year ago now and it has been a steady repeat in my listening ever since (love their other albums too but this one feels close to my heart!). Managed to get a ticket to see them in Leeds in May last year and it's easily my best gig of 2024.

Do we think they'll be bringing out a new album any time soon?

Obviously there's Yesness (a duo featuring El Ten Eleven's Kristian Dunn) What else would I like?

Hey everyone, Australian band Solkyri are releasing their first new music in 5 years this week, but are having a listening party a few days before release. Who's keen?
It's on Bandcamp at February 4, 2025 at 8pm AEST GMT+11

Edit: times (I forgot I live in QLD)

Really hate that generic post-EITS clean delay sound that 99% of PR does.

Who doesn't do the formulaic delay clean then loud paint-by-numbers stuff?

Hi! I’m fairly new to this subreddit but I’m not new to the genre. I wouldn’t call myself a veteran listener and I can’t give you band names off the top of my head (mainly because I forgot lol) but it’s been a while since I’ve listened to the genre. Last time I listened to a full album was Random Avenger by Magyar Posse in late November and I have yet to finish The Stolen View by Leech. But I realized something today that struck my mind.

So for some context, I like to use ChatGPT to create a bunch of random narrative scenarios. I know, I’m nerdy. I won’t bore you with details but I mainly asked for a worker of a record and CD store help out with a customer on finding music and they specifically pointed out Mogwai. And I realized that ‘hey! Mogwai is the only post rock band with a fan base that I have not listened to for some dumb reason.

So I wondering what albums I should start off. I usually like to figure out what I want to try out first based on the album cover. Then I listen to the first track and listen to the sound, if the track is lengthy, if there’s vocal, ambience, etc. So maybe going based on these preferences, maybe you guys could help me figure out what to listen to first rather than picking an album blind and realizing I don’t like it. I really want to get into this band and they seem awesome. I hear so much talk about them and their album covers are sick! Of course, you don’t have to help out and you can leave nasty comments saying I expect too much out of the music I listen to or that going based on album covers is dumb etc. But the help would be appreciated. I hope you all have a nice day!

I just discovered that Explosions in the Sky will be in Kingston, NY on April 10th which is great and so much more convenient than NYC. I'm from the Poughkeepsie area and may go alone or with a friend but it made me wonder if there are others on this subreddit from the area (whether planning on seeing the show or not)! Incidentally, I've been listening to post rock for probably almost 20 years but this would be my first post rock concert ever. Crazy.

Hey Everyone,

Mark from We Lost The Sea here. Was just being nostalgic and listening to my own record. Yes I know.
Anyway, figured not a lot of people own this, and espcially this version so here are some download codes for the original mix/master of our first record. Self released in 2009, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Magnus Lindberg of Cult of Luna fame.

Enjoy.

Edit:

A few more for you all. It's only $5 AUD on Bandcamp, but, if you miss out on one of the codes and you don't have a fiver, send me a message and I will give you a code. No judgement, everyone's doing it tough.u8qj-jfvd

A few days ago I asked for recommendations on bands in the genre who are doing their own thing. Even though you gave me some great recommendations, many whom I really really liked and many who I listen a lot to, the band I immediatly fell in love with was posted by a bot on this forum.

I cannot praise this song enough: Sire - Koyot

Hey!

I would like to write about something that is really important to me recently.

Your Hand In Mine introduced me to postrock, 15 years ago, since then this song is my favourite song ever (while postrock is my favourite genre). Whenever I have happy or sad moments in my life, I listen to this song, because it either helps me to feel better, or shares my happiness. As a listener this song is "the song" to me.

Well, as someone who makes postrock, this song is the phantom, that visits me several times a year. I'm just a hobby musician, nothing serious, I don't pursue anything serious in music, just I really love to write postrock songs, because as I said it's my favourite genre and it's a good feeling to give my shot. My 150 monthly listeners enjoy it or at least I hope. But every second song I write has some Your Hand In Mine vibes that I have to rewrite to not sound similar.

When I started out I made a chord progression, this is my first chord progression ever, and it's in vibes, really similar to Your Hand In Mine. Since then, it's a main part of my discography as every 2-3 years I use the same chord progression for a song and using those things in it I learned since the last take (it's how I follow my progress as a hobby musician). I call these songs the same, just adding I-II-III-IV, etc to it. Currently working on IV and oh god, it's a Your Hand In Mine copy.

Yesterday I even learned the song, so I can avoid same or similar parts on purpose, yet, even if there are no identical parts, it just gives serious Your Hand In Mine vibes. The problem is that I really like this song that I'm working on currently. Basically fulfilling the dream I had when I was 15, when I wished only if I could write a similar song.

I just don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. An art inspires another "art" is always good and while I don't say I'm copying them (actually doing things to avoid that), I'm not sure how I feel.

There is a song that really reminds me of Your Hand In Mine, it's called A New Dawn by Followed by Ghosts. If you don't know them check out, they are a really good band. This song made me love this band, I think because it has those vibes that I already liked. Maybe it's not a bad thing after all.

But at the same time milking an already very very popular song (or at least to look like I would do that) feels terrible.

Is it a common feeling when making music, specifically postrock?

If there are other musicians here: what did you do when you had a song you loved and it made you happy, but also made you remember to an existing song too much?

That's how I spend my Friday night. I hope those who read this are doing well and having a good day! :)

Hey there! I've been a long time follower of this subreddit and through it have discovered A TON of great music over the years. As a way of giving back I wanted to share a few free download codes for my band's debut album "Liminal Heart". We are instrumental post-metal with post-rock and ambient leanings. Thank you and please enjoy!
