More like The For Carnation's "Moonbeams"?

Hey, ya'll!

Looking for recommendations of albums similar to the slowcoresque, moody and spacious vibe of Moonbeams by The For Carnation.

I initially overlooked this album (as other Slint offshoots didn't really do anything for me) but it's just amazing, I love its calm, minimalistic & nocturnal atmosphere.

Other albums with a similar vibe which I've enjoyed are: Labradford - Mi Media Naranja Tarentel - From Bone to Satellite

Thanks in advance for any recs!

I'm going to watch God is an astronaut and Aswekeepsearching today!!

I'm sitting in my office right now listening to Giaa and Awks on loop. Giaa and Explosions in the sky are the two bands that got me into post-rock.

Centralia, Helius Erebus, Forever Lost and sooo many other tracks that take your mind to other realms.

I feel super happy and grateful to experience the beauty of this genre and also catch these bands live!

Yr Epic Heart - Viva Voce [2003]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm-3VGHINdU

Any idea what postrock song this is reminiscent of? At the 1:45 mark I think it sounds similar to a track I have heard multiple times, but can't place which band... Evpatoria Report, Giants, one of the other idyllic pillars of postrock?

Godspeed, you.

PS Shout-out to my local radio station for introducing me to Yr Epic Heart.

Lost in Reverb - Sky Crawler

Hi everyone, my name is Nicolás, I´m from Argentina and I have a solo instrumental project called Lost in Reverb, I released my first EP "(H)ours" and the single "Presence" last year, with a sound shaped by dark ambient and ambient music, my second EP "Sky Crawler" was released on last March 1, this time my sound is more focused on the emotion of post-rock based on some piano and synth riffs. I hope you enjoy the sonic experience!

Jakob - Solace vinyl repress

Okay team, so the dudes who run Graveface post often on a vinyl message board I frequent. In discussing this album with them, I quote:

“The Jakob records are good but took forever to sell. I’ll chat with Ryan about it. For a while a decade ago, he was doing archival presses and it’s something I’d like to bring back. It was a great idwa then and that hasn’t changed.”

So, I want to show them how in-demand this record would be. I have all 3 presses, and it cost me about $650 or so to acquire. The label seems to think nobody gives a shit. I will bet my life they are wrong.

Upvote this post if you would buy Solace on vinyl so we can make this happen. I’ve been talking to the band too!
