Overhead, The Albatross cover Hans Zimmer's "Time" from the movie Inception:

 

Late pass but the new LITE record is dope

 

Love post rock but it's been years since I've really dove into new stuff. What's some top albums from the past year or two? I'm a big Caspian and Mogwai fan.

 

This Will Destroy You's released Another Language in 2014 and that one's really great

 

More ambient but Eluvium and Hammock put out amazing albums this year

 

I really like Eluvium's first album with all piano but never got into the other stuff. I'll have to check them out.

 

Highly recommended you check out the newest stuff and work your way back

 

Def rec Curious Things first tho-- that one rules

 

New single from Overhead, The Albatross:

Our Youth, Our Younger

 

You fuckers better have listened to this album this year.

 

I like your intensity.

Queued it up. This better be good.

 

Anyone got a favourite post rock release from this year?

I can't really pick between yndi halda and Russian Circles. Haven't stopped listening to them since they were both released.

 

I didn't actually listen to any post rock this year, unfortunately, which I didn't notice until last week. I guess Russian Circles if you wanna count them as post rock, but I think they're more post metal than post rock

 

add in If These Trees Could Talk, The Mercury Program, LITE and that's my top 5

plus Caspian's Castles High, Marble Bright release I guess

 

I was excited for mercury program earlier this year and then it wasn't on spotify so I thought I'd check later. still not on spotify

 

actually I found it on bandcamp. really good as expected

 

I used to be into If These Trees Could Talk, but I don't know what they fell off for me. Maybe I should check out the new one. Forgot that came out

 

You should, 'Earth Crawler' is a jam

 

theyre pretty generic actually in my experience

havent heard the new one either

 

the drums in this new mercury program are really creative

 

the climax around the 5 minute mark is so good

 

I really enjoyed If These Trees Could Talk and Russian Circles this year, but getting to see Caspian three times and Explosions/RC play headlining sets was pretty special.

 

That song is solid. Wasn't really feeling it much until the last couple minutes. I'll give the album a spin though, thanks for sharing

 

Bunch of post-rock/metal stuff I liked from this year:

65daysofstatic – No Man's Sky: Music For An Infinite Universe - YouTube 65daysofstatic's No Man's Sky OST!

(with vocals, got a bit more prog mixed in with ambient/post-rock stuff)

The Summit Lies Skyward, by FOES (something a little heavier with post-metal and prog metal touches, anyone?)

(if anyone remembers Maybeshewill, this album offers a similar vibe with heavy use of samples etc.)

Come To Mexico, by Totorro (FFO Enemies, Adebisi Shank, Marvins Revolt, newer And So I Watch You From Afar stuff)

(new album from Japanese post-rock legends who should need no introduction)

(Super-melodic, uplifting 'dream metal' with heavy shoegaze and post-metal flourishes, some tracks on here make me feel capable of punching through brick walls)

e: WOAH I did not know links could do that on here. :o

 

I got a lot of catching up to do this year
