Anything post-rock…
- God is an astronaut
- Red Sparowes
- Mogwai
- Sigur Ros
- Explosions in the sky
Etc. Etc.
begins relaxing to Godspeed You! Black Emperor
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
Definitely do. They have quite distinct sound due tonusage of lap steel guitar. I like it a lot.
I’ll check my collection for more bands like this if you’d like.
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
- Rhone
- Seanné
- Sleepmakeswaves
- Souls Vibrating in the Universe
- This Patch of Sky
- Upcdownc
- We Deserve This
- The End of the Ocean
- DiEgita
Most of these can be found on Bandcamp. Let me know if you like something.

Dummy is a great record to chill out to.
Emancipator’s album Soon It Will Be Cold Enough is great
I love Emancipator, I’ve had his albums as my driving music in my car for at least a decade. Safe in the Steep Cliffs is my favorite.
On that vibe, Ondas by Kinack and Days to Come or Black Sands by Bonobo would be suggestions to OP
That is an excellent answer.
