    Yes, I'd agree there's some Scorn in the Forest Swords album as well. I think the 'hypnagogic pop' thing just came from the fact that it's released on Olde English Spelling Bee (but it doesn't have that lo-fi 'recorded in a biscuit tin' vibe of most of the hypnagogic pop artists). Much as I like some of those bands, they're ultimately quite retrogressive and I think Forest Swords is much more forward thinking. Apparently he was heavily influenced by reading Reynolds' Rip It Up And Start Again so that definitely explains the post-punk elements.

  • Hilarious that the Forest Swords album was influenced by a Simon Reynolds book on post-punk. But it makes sense: post-rock was essentially a continuation of post-punk and the term "post-rock" was (as we are always telling people) invented by Reynolds. The album also reminds me of early Moonshake quite a lot.

    New Epic45 album:

  • Sleep ∞ Over - Casual Diamond

    ^ think this lot have connections to the witch house scene, but this song is making me think of AR Kane and AC Marias and stuff like that. Anyone know anything about them?

  • Asha Vida

    not really new, but Asha Vida probably would be liked by this place. Kind of a jazzy version of spacerock.


    samples:



    downloads:
    As One of One
    Nature's Clumsy Hand

    if anyone has the Eskimo Summer/Stellar Voices 7", it would be much appreciated.]

  • Silver pyre.

    Don't know much about these guys but they're from Bristol and they sound pretty neat. I heard of them via former Wire magazine editor Rob Young's Twitter.

  • I know I mentioned them a long while back and they only loosely fall under the umbrella of post rock, and they'ved moved away from their noisier aspects.... but the new Gang Gang Dance album is a fantastic ride from beginning to end.



    [edit] it's called Eye Contact
    Regardless of how well it fits, I'm sure it holds interest to a good number of folks in this group, so give one of the best albums of 2011 a try for your own sake.

    "it's everything time"

  • I thought Bear in Heaven's first album was a bit post-rock-ish. Kind of a synth-heavy Bark Psychosis:





    their second album is poppier, but I kind of prefer it.

    also, Mothlite kind of comes across as a "heavier" version of Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis:



    from the new album that should be coming out soon:




    the main guy in Mothlite also works with Ulver.

  • As I'm aware there's a lot of love amongst some of you for Mount Kimbie / James Blake-ish 'post-dubstep', I thought I'd mention Cloud Boat.

    Don't know much about them other than they're touring with James Blake atm (I think) and are friends of Kimbie -- but this track 'Lions on the Beach' is very much in that vein, with some more obvious 'post-rockisms'.

    Bloody hell, that's really good! I like the fact that on their facebook page it says "Kelvox1 are inspired by many genres beginning with ‘post’: post-punk, post-rock and post-dubstep"

  • Has anyone heard 'Peep EP' by Pinkunoizu? I can really hear a Moonshake / Laika influence there (particularly in the second track -- 'Everything Is Broken Or Stolen').

    High Places have been mentioned in this group before particularly with regards to their similarities to Laika. Certain elements of their new (rather awesome) album also remind me of Insides. I'd thought that maybe I was imagining it but Rob Young says exactly the same thing in his review in Uncut magazine.

  • I can vouch for that comparison. I love that they've pushed forward the dub influence a bit, too.

  • Canadian musician Grimes is pretty interesting. Her description of herself as 'post-internet' (i.e. having access to the internet to draw on any number of influences and make music that transcends genre) seems like something in the spirit of the eclectic UKPR bands...

  • I think someone (Simon Reynolds, even?) described Grimes as "Cranes with a laptop", which obviously piqued my interest but I haven't gotten 'round to hearing her yet.

    Has anyone mentioned Demdike Stare yet? I was listening to Liberation Through Hearing last night and boy do those guys like Scorn and Techno Animal.

  • It may have been Reynolds, he mentioned her in a piece about 'electronic maximalism' for Pitchfork:

    Grimes is very pop but still quite brilliant and innovative so she's undoubtedly worthy of mention. The 'Cranes with a Laptop' comment made me realise that I often thought about mentioning Cranes in this group. I suppose they weren't really post-rock as such but I remember thinking at the time that despite the 'goth' tags they often got saddled with they were probably one of the most interesting British bands around in the period between MBV/AR Kane etc and the UKPR scene.

    Have you heard their new material? Elemental is even further out there and honestly is probably the heaviest/trippiest 2cd album I've heard since Techno Animal's Re-Entry and it's probably just as good or better. 'Erosion of Mediocrity' is like Demodex Invasion in half the time...
