Our friend Dangerous Dave is friends with these guys, so that means they are basically friends of ours, kind of.  Anyway, Giants’ 2008 album, “Old Stories”, has finally been pressed to vinyl.  There are two types of people in this world:  The kind that hate post-rock, and the kind that love post rock.  The first [...]

It’s hard not to mention My Bloody Valentine when writing up a band like this, but rest assured Serena Maneesh bring their own psychedelic swagger to the overpopulated whatever-gaze genre, standing heads and shoulders above their peers and sounding perfectly at home on the legendary 4AD label. This is the second album from these lovely [...]

A 3xLP + DVD set for $25 is certainly nothing to turn your nose up at, the people in charge of Temporary Residence sure know how to put out a release. To sweeten the deal, they have even included live music from legendary post-rock group Mono on the three LPs and a DVD documentary of [...]

Isis. Now here’s a band that knows how to release some vinyl. If you don’t own at least one Isis record, than you probably aren’t reading this blog. Their live series has been pretty great for the fans who just cannot get enough, and Volume 5 (or V) is looking to be a keeper, seeing [...]

Copies of this one are very limited and disappearing fast, so move quick if you want in – this might not last until the morning. Balboa and Plague Sermon come from two different sides of the ocean, but they both kick out emotionally charged hardcore with equal ferocity. Check the noise on the relevant Myspace [...]

Here’s the deal with post rock, you either really love it, or you really hate it.  Judging from the email reactions to records like Glaciers, I’d say a lot of you guys probably like it.  Mylene Sheath has just launched the preorder for the vinyl release of If These Trees Could Talk’s “Above The Earth, [...]

File this one under “blown out post-rock trios” please. I couldn’t tell you how this record found it’s way onto my headphones – I must have gotten it some time early this year and never actually listened to it until now. I was about ready to file it away, but something made me stop and [...]

Chicago three-piece Zelienople is back with a new album for the venerable Type imprint. This band seems to hit all the right buttons with me – it’s hazy, ambient, droney and psychedelic rock music. Basically really amazing stuff, I suggest you listen below then point your browser at boomkat.com to order a copy. Copies should [...]

You might accuse me of posting this album just as an excuse to post the video below, but that would be totally discrediting how absolutely amazing this music actually is. The tunes sound just about like the group’s name would have you believe: a simmering brew of drone, jazz and electronica with a subtle touch [...]

Big thanks to a reader for the heads up about this preorder for the new album from Florida band The Mercury Program.  “Chez Viking” is the band’s first record since their split with Maserati in 2006.  This is soaring post-rock that would fit right in with the stuff Temporary Residence is currently turning out (Maserati, [...]

One of our readers pointed me towards this album. I have to be honest, I checked it out because I mistakenly thought it featured an ex-member of Slowdive. Turns out it’s an ex-member of Slowride. Oh well, I’m still digging on it. Mopey, shuffling rock with some decently heavy guitar tones. Definitely feeling a 90’s [...]

This record is so amazingly great, yet so hard to describe in words.  Both of us have been eagerly anticipating Animal Hospital’s “Memory” being released on vinyl.  In fact, I can’t think of an album I’ve anticipated MORE in recent months.  Barge Recordings is out of Brooklyn, while Animal Hospital is the work of Kevin [...]

From what I’ve heard, San Francisco’s Glaciers have the chops to seriously compete with the cream of the post-rock crop.  Plus, their new record is one of the best deals I’ve seen lately.  It is available in two versions:  The first is a regular edition on blue vinyl with a download code for $10.  The [...]

Its been a little while since I’ve come across a fierce metal release that I can really get behind. This Irish black metal, post-rock hybrid is certainly doing the trick for me currently – epic song lengths, lots of blast beats and loud guitars with heaps of melody hidden under all the terror and gloom. [...]

Sargent House has just launched two new preorders, and if you’re interested in one, you’re probably interested in the other as well.  First up is the 2008 “Aphorisms” EP from Red Sparowes.  Three tracks of Josh Graham-less post rock.  That being said, if you’re into RS, you’ll probably like this one as well, it does [...]
