How can we save Post-Rock?

>>68649656
Ok fine.

Post rock dies.
Fuck you.

>People thought to see another 10/10 post rock album post 2004
What is Don't Bend Ascend

>>68650046
Not 10/10 if that's what you're thinking

reggae and jazz influences

>>68649656
More Talk Talk-esque post rock instead of Swans/Slint style post rock

>>68649656
bring back the first wave sound instead of the crescendo shit

I want some more post-rock bands with vocals because I feel like that wasn't explored enough. Also maybe taking all of the soundtrack sounding shit and calling it something else. It's basically like the name emo being ruined by all of those shitty bands in the mid 2000s

>>68650274
True. Albums like GS!YBE Lift Yr Skinny Fists are good, but I'd call it ambient rock instead of post rock

>>68650046
But that's not 10/10 tho.

>>68649656
First wave is completely done, GY!BE was the pinnacle of crescendocore, and Explosions in The Sky already covered entry-level post-rock. What's the point of making more?

>>68650273
This, I mean i like a good crescendo as much as the next guy but the concept is so overdone at this point that it just comes off as lazy songwriting. You're not gonna beat godspeed at their own game, just focus on textures and ambiance instead.

>>68649656
>not progressive rock
What's the point

>>68650267
Eh, I've always thought Talk Talk was unbelievably boring. But yeah the whole crescendo thing is really drawn out. Maybe artists could look to other areas of classical for inspiration?

>>68649656
Have you heard the new Tortoise album? It's great and they have consistently done jazzy reggae influenced post rock for like 20 years, easily second best post rock band.

and so i watch you from afar is class fuck off

>>68649656
>what is late swans?

Post rock, similar to black metal, should have died in its second wave. Stop trying to "save" it.

Needs more crescendos

>>68653361
terribly boring

>>68653434
orthodox bm >>>>>>>>> 2nd wave

>>68653706
>muh blackened death
shut the fuck up

>>68650273
Who was the first wave?

>>68653759
tortoise, moonshake, talktalk, bark psychosis, gastr del sol, long fin killie for example

>>68653789
Cul de sac, the sea and cake

>>68653748
who said anything about blackened death you fuck

>>68653960
>let's make black metal but make it have shitty death metal tier lyrics
You, faggot

>>68649656
Anybody got a decent chart for post rock? Always kind of felt like it was meme tier because the songs ive heard are 20 minutes of one chord crescendoing

Post rock needs to expand into more genres. A lot of underground post rock projects I've been finding lately are nothing but instrumental reverb/delay porn.

>how to save

Blend it with dubstep nigger

I want to know what a baby of Swans-y post rock and Tim Hecker-y power electroacoustic ambient would sound like.

>>68649656
There's nothing more for it to do. Listen to jazz or classical.

>>68649656
>What the hell happen?
It's a creatively dead genre full of copycats doing whatever the big boys are doing at the moment and labelling their work "experimental"
>How does this make you feel?
I don't even care anymore to be honest
>And how can we save the genre?
Just make post-rock that isn't shit, and has refreshing ideas instead of sounding like every other post-rock outfit out there at the moment. And then do it again and again as soon as every other lazy shit in the scene starts copying your style until it becomes commonplace.
