It's night time and while listening to my favourite night-time genre, I thought I would start a thread on it so I could share some amazing music with you interested folk and introduce new people to a genre with a fairly small listening group.
For those not familiar with Post-Rock, here is a short description from Wikipedia.
I was introduced to Post-Rock about a year ago, when while watching an advert for Discovery channel I asked myself, "what is that amazing music?". The band was Explosions in the Sky, one of the most popular Post-Rock bands out there, and I loved them. I then expanded to other groups like This Will Destroy You and God Is An Astronaut. Both were pretty mainstream for post-rock standards. Right now I am listening to Post-Rock bands with probably only 15k views on Youtube, although the music is 100 times better than any of this mainstream pop crap out there in my opinion
.
Post-rock is music you hear on a lot of TV adverts for nature or stuff like that, i'm sure many of you have heard this or this song before on TV, but dont know who it is by (except Sigur Ros perhaps). Both are actually quite big in the Post-Rock world.
The bands do tend to have weird or extremely creative names that are very unique and can be quite long. Same goes for song names and albums. For example.. 65daysofstatic have a song called 'The Paris Hilton Sex Tape' and Maybeshewill released a track called 'How to Have Sex With A Ghost' :wtf:
I'd like to share what I think are some of my favourite songs that can be used as an example for people who have never really given Post-Rock a try.. or need something relaxing to listen to at night time
It really is a very powerful and amazing genre of music. You feel the music, rather than hear it.
This would be my first choice - Maybeshewill - Relative Minors.

Can you believe a song like that only has 6,5k views on Youtube? It makes me sad that people miss out on music like this.
Good introductory bands:
Explosions in the Sky
This Will Destroy You
God is an Astronaut
Maybeshewill
65daysofstatic
Sigur Ros
Mogwai
Anyway thanks for reading (hopefully listening as well)
I will be posting more songs in the following posts after this.

..once upon a li'l while ago I, in a somewhat altered state of consciousness :erm: ran my radio tuner up and down the band and lucked out on some out of this world (at the time..) music that was, at the time, just ...wow.
Saturday night I had found 
I'll see if I can stream it tonight though.
