This instrumental stuff is so awesome. Really expressive, with huge soundscapes. I love it. I am currently listening to El Ten Eleven. Just bass and drums, and I don't know how they do it, but it's awesome!

|  | I'm a tumbler, born under punches | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Northern California | | | Saw them two weeks ago. As we walked in they were playing a cover of "Paranoid Android".
The bass player had a double necked Carvin (bass/guitar) and also played with a Wal and a good sized pedal board. Lot's of looping. Good stuff.
I like Red Sparowes, Mogwai, Sigur Ros and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
The singer/pianist I play with made me a mix CD (she and I are both into a ton of different stuff) and one of the songs is by a post-rock group called The Samuel Jackson Five. I dig it, but it's the only thing I've heard from them. |

Check out This Will Destroy You and Russian Circles.
And I just bought a reverb pedal so I can make some of those soundscapes!

He used the term to describe music "using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbre and textures rather than riffs and power chords."
Make of it what you will, it's irrelevent to the actual music. It's just words some people use to talk about that music. |
