Until 2003, Godspeed You! Black Emperor had a cellist, Norsola Johnson, which I think gave them a very unique sound especially in the album linked (Lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven). However, while they do have a violin in the new albums, the sound is quite different.

What other bands use cello? This patch of sky is one (and fantastic), but they disbanded in 2019. Gregor Samsa used to have one but they swapped to violin as well (and their style was very different anyway). Three Silver MtZion doesn't have their cellist anymore as well.

Hi there, just going to post a couple of tracks that are randomly playing after listening to Blackshape... hope that's ok?

I don't know if it's only me, but I really like what this band do. And I rarely see them mentioned anywhere. When someone mentions post-rock, it's usually bands like Sigur Ros, God is an astronaut, Mogwai, Mono... Ranges? Barely ever, at least in my social circles. So here you go, try and listen. Maybe you'll like them as I do.

So there we have it. New album by Icelandic band Sigur Rós. The album is titled ÁTTA and contains 10 tracks lasting 56 minutes.

Kveikur - last Sigur Rós album was released in 2013.

Today I’ve listened to Vespertine by This Will Destroy You for the first time and it’s a magnificent record.

Garden - the song I'm linking to - is a 22 minute beast that just melts with beauty. Have a listen!

Another news from Sigur Rós camp. Ágætis byrjun is having it's 24 anniversary today!

What is you favorite song of this masterpiece?

Sigur Rós just released a new single! Album details probably coming later today.

Single may not be available for everyone just yet. It should be out at midnight of June 12th

A Beautiful and eerie track

God Is An Astronaut 2 years ago made this beautiful live rendition of their most popular album - All is Violent, All is Bright.

Cannot get enough of it!

Hi everyone!
