Golden Hymns Sing Hurrah is possibly christian. Not entirely sure though. If you find more Christian post-rock please lemme know. It is perfect music for worship.

I understand this band called Kye Kye is pretty good

I think it's a little unfair to call Spirit of Eden Christian when Hollis literally said that they're non-specific.

>Mark Hollis' lyrics reflect his religious and spiritual outlook. Though he acknowledges that his lyrics are religious, he says they are not based on a specific creed, preferring to think of them as "humanitarian."

That said, some decent Christian music is Lift to Experience. As for Christian Post-Rock, I don't know of any. Godspeed sometimes has samples of insane street preachers in their work, but I wouldn't consider that Christian, nor worship music. Maybe you could listen to Sigur Ros and PRETEND the lyrics are about Christianity?

Some decent music that at the very least deals with faith as a theme is Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. The lead singer, who struggles with faith, sin, forgiveness and morality throughout the album, has a talk with Jesus on this song. It's really good.

Otherwise, 99% of all Christian music these days is complete garbage and is not worth listening to.

Yeah I hesitated in calling SoE Christian to be honest, but the first three songs and Wealth specifically convinced me that it was, but I think that Laughing Stock is pretty Christian in it's feel.

Lift to Experience is a good example of christian post-rock.

Adding onto that, I'll raise you Jesus Fever (post-rock and shoegaze) and Swivel Stick (like a post-hardcore version of Swans circa. Soundtracks for the Blind with vague religious themes).

Nah man, I really don't get that feeling at all with SoE or Laughing Stock. I'm with Hollis on this, I get a tranquil, humanitarian feeling with Talk Talk.

The problem is that Christian music these days is so ungodly terrible that what you're asking for is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Christians aren't putting out any good music these days. The talent has shifted in a secular direction.

If you want stuff from people who are KINDA Christian, Sorority Noise's Cam Boucher says he believes in God, but isn't sure what exactly he believes in. But he mostly just writes music about suicide. and self hatred.

And then there's Have Mercy, but again, a lot of these bands are more critical of Christianity than they are praising it. Still, it's the best I can do

>Lift to Experience
>Post-Rock

Did we listen to the same album?

Daily reminder that all christian music is copycatted from popular secular bands

>not post-rock
Absolutely they're post-rock. Songs like With Crippled Wings, Just as Was Told, the ending to These are the Days, To Guard and to Guide You, and Into the Storm are absolutely post-rock

Does anyone else have anymore good pro-christian, anti-catholic music like this?
