I may have formed an IDM addiction in my younger years.

Mezzanine is the gold standard for me, but always good to explore and expand.

This is a post-rock band I just … I don’t know … everyone praises them, but songs I’ve heard did not really convince me. It was somehow very different.

Even more than e.g. Mono and that’s Japanese band. And we all know how weird Japan things can be.

I’m with you, unfortunately. Every so often I go back to try again because it feels so much like I should like their stuff, but it just never sticks. Glad that so many people are getting something from it, but I think I’m just not ever going to be one of them

My first thought was Explosions in the Sky, nice to see it already listed.

I listen to all these except never heard of Red Sparrows, guess I’ll have to check them out

I finally get to my PC, so here’s more:

  • Hammock
  • Appalaches
  • Unsigned Char
  • PG.lost
  • Bound (more of shoegaze)
  • Caves of Steel
  • Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson (more rock-ish, but great)
  • Coastlands
  • Distant Dream (more guitar soloing)
  • El Ten Eleven (more electronic)
  • El Altar Del Holocausto
  • Goodbye Earth
  • I/O
  • Neil on Impression
  • Nice Wings, Icarus!
  • No One Wished To Settle Hereafter
  • Old Solar
  • Random Forest
  • Redjetson

  • Seanné
  • Sleepmakeswaves
  • Souls Vibrating in the Universe
  • This Patch of Sky
  • Upcdownc
  • We Deserve This

Definitely do. They have quite distinct sound due to usage of lap steel guitar. I like it a lot.

I’ll check my collection for more bands like this if you’d like.
