My love for Bon Iver still stands but the infatuation/stalker side is dying out. The slag who’s replacing it is Post-Rock.
I’ve listened to Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai and 65Daysofstatic for years but I’m finding at the moment that everytime I make a playlist or want some background noise that I’m turning to la Post-Rock.
For all of you who aren’t au fait with Post-Rock then I shall enlighten you with some of my current favourites (including the more prominent bands and the lesser known):
Explosions In The Sky – Remember Me As A Time Of Day
Mogwai – Ithica 27/9
God Is An Astronaut – New Years End
Do Make Say Think – A Tender History In Rust
65Daysofstatic – Radio Protector
The American Dollar – Anything You Synthesise
This Will Destroy You – Threads
Jakob – Nice Day For An Earthquake
Hammock – Blankets Of Night
Mono – Follow The Map
Russian Circles – Death Rides A Horse
If my life were a movie these songs would feature in the soundtrack.
These are just a few of the reasons why I really want to start a Post-Rock band. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do. And I’m gonna post-rock out with my cock out. And I’m going to sample some wicked ass shit from movies and it’s going to be tittylicious.
