  • Mogwai and Slint, obviously.

    TheoGB | 15 Oct '13, 14:43 | X
    • OK.

      I've never heard their music so far.

      deep-blue @TheoGB | 15 Oct '13, 14:47 | X
      • Oh right.

        Well Mogwai's albums are all fairly different. Try some early ones first like Young Team, Come On Die Young or Rock: Action.

        Slint is pretty much a choice between the two-track 'EP' and the Spiderland album. It's pretty mathy because instrumental rock tends to be pretty mathy.

        TheoGB @deep-blue | 15 Oct '13, 14:49 | X
        • No problem with mathy

          I'll check these albums.

            • Have a listen to their best release and get back to me

              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untitled_Slint_EP

              TheoGB @Raanraals | 17 Oct '13, 16:42 | X
              • What proportion of the songs they recorded

                would you say are instrumentals?

                Raanraals @TheoGB | 17 Oct '13, 17:05 | X
                • Oh it's probably under 50%.

                  Hard to say as Tweez's production makes listening to it a bit of chore. 1/3 of Spiderland is (IIRC). Both of those two songs are, although they total 13 minutes of material.

                  TheoGB @Raanraals | 17 Oct '13, 17:08 | X
                  • Only 1/6 of Spiderland

                    Some of Tweez.

                    Raanraals @TheoGB | 17 Oct '13, 18:00 | X
          • Ive only got/heard Spiderland...

            ... but does has quite a few lines of vocals....

              Wooly31 @Wooly31 | 17 Oct '13, 16:52 | X
            • Yeah. Mostly spoken, low in the mix.

              :D

              (I was really just thinking of the EP, to be honest. It's like a template for Mogwai's career, although coming out in 1994 I guess it actually post-dates them.)

    I'm pretty sure their debut album was non-vocal. I've not listened to it in ages, though.

  • If you want kind of stupid (in a joyous way) but fun instrumental rock, then

    the latest And So I Watch You From Afar and Adebisi Shank's second album are pretty great. Fang Island's first couple EPs & debut album are mostly instrumental too and are also great and very joyous.

                They really hit their stride Burning Off Impurities onwards. I agree with your comment above, once I tired of all the 'standard' post-rock bands, Grails were one of the few instrumental rock bands I still listened to.

                JohnM @feedthecollapse | 15 Oct '13, 18:15 | X
                • fair enough

                  though I disagree (it has some of their best material!). I do think BTP1 is where Grails went from a rather boring band to an interesting one at least.

  • Shadows are vaguely surfy, a real good surf comp came out last year called surf age nuggets, most of the hits of the genre sound really cheesy but this collection of obscure bands sounds really exciting a little menacing even

    ThingsThatFly | 15 Oct '13, 19:31 | X
  • If you like the Shadows, then I'd suggest Bruno Dorela's band, Ronin.

    Also, listen to Action Beat.

  • Tortoise are really worth a look, and one that I picked up in Sheffield's best shop, Rare & Racy, Far West by Master Musicians of Bukkake. Heavy, Hippy stoner/psych rock.

  • One Unique Signal

    for the most part, don't have vocals. a lot of high speed, multi layered guitar trance

    http://oneuniquesignal.bandcamp.com

    GoatmeatMF | 16 Oct '13, 14:53 | X
    • They are also the usual backing band when Steve performs as The Telescopes

      TheGrudge @GoatmeatMF | 16 Oct '13, 16:18 | X
      • yeah, they ARE the Telescopes now.

        pretty cool when you see them, because you effectively get 2 Telescopes or 2 OUS gigs in one, whichever way you want to look at it. and as luck would have it, I can listen to that noise for hours.

        incidentally - the new OUS album is totally rad. bit of a departure from the older stuff, more song oriented rather than big slabs of drone. loads of really great sounds, drumming a riffs but punchier. or something.

        GoatmeatMF @TheGrudge | 16 Oct '13, 16:24 | X
  • Roy Montgomery

    mostly instrumental anyway. Only one of his albums (2 if you count a singles comp) and some of his sideprojects feature vocals.

    guitar-centric psych folk akin to Spacemen 3, Flying Saucer Attack, and something else entirely.

    pip_ | 17 Oct '13, 04:36 | X
    • Mugstar are such a great band

      They were stunning at The Shacklewell Arms the other week.

      Axis Modulator and Black Fountain are serious tunes!

      TheGrudge @pip_ | 17 Oct '13, 11:51 | X
  • Now there are tons of artists mentioned

    What do you think I should check first?

    Considering that I like Ozric Tentacles, System 7, The Shadows, Hammock, Errors, electronic music.

    deep-blue | 17 Oct '13, 11:45 | X
    • maybe start with the big names first and find your way from there...

      Gybe
      Mogwai
      Tortoise
      Don Caballero

      pick a favourite of them it could be a good starting point.

      imho @deep-blue | 17 Oct '13, 12:01 | X
      • those are all in the post-rock/math-rock set though to be fair.

        imho @imho | 17 Oct '13, 12:09 | X
    • Teeth of the Sea

      They cover all those bases for you. Except yr Shadows style rock & roll, there;s not much of that.

      GoatmeatMF @deep-blue | 17 Oct '13, 16:12 | X
  • If you're into Can/Neu!/Harmonia

    Check out Eat Lights Become Lights

    Released 3 albums. I love 'em all.

    TheGrudge | 17 Oct '13, 11:52 | X
    • I like Neu! & Harmonia (Can, less)

      I'll check these albums.

    Evpatoria Report - up there with gybe for me

  • The Mercury Program

    and

    Tristeza

    two of my favourite bands evs. More rocky than post-rocky, but both equally brilliant. Wonderful harmonious guitars, languid yet progressive rhythms.. mmm.

    Mercury program did a split with Maserati and this is from that EP. One of their best IMO.

    ...is an awkward post because its my record. But, you might dig it. Eclectic, but more from the electronic-ish side of post rock.
