Chris Ott did a few good videos recently on post rock, and I’ve been listening to some of the stuff he recommends. Favourites so far have been the Sonora Pine (especially II), Jessamine, The For Carnation and 1 Mile North.
Here’s the videos and the spotify playlist:
This one is more about the conflation of post rock and emo, but idk anything about that
All his videos and podcasts are worth listening to. He’s really very good and passionate, but can come off as a bit of a tit (a loveable tit though, if you’re reading this chris)
I’d seriously like to know if there’s ever been anything better than or on the level of Lift Yr Skinny Fists. With the exception of a few albums, most other post-rock fades into the background for me.
