Recommend me some instrumental rock artists

deep-blue [Edit] [Delete] 160 replies 14:41, 15 October '13

...aka rock music without vocals (kind of The Shadows).

View Nested Linear

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.

        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....

        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.)

And So I Watch You From Afar.

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

TheoGB | 15 Oct '13, 14:46 | X
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.

        even that stuff isn't really weepy post-rock

        I found Black Tar Prophies boring
        
        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.
        
        feedthecollapse @JohnM | 15 Oct '13, 18:55 | X

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.

not really rock though, more monolithic drone-rock blowouts

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.

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.

mugstar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-MQbT-gnAc you get some "woaaaahs" near the start but no lyrics.

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.
  
  deep-blue @TheGrudge | 17 Oct '13, 11:55 | X
I forgot...

Evpatoria Report - up there with gybe for me

no-ones mentioned Toe either.

imho | 17 Oct '13, 12:02 | X

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.

This...

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

Thanks.
