“オヨステ・アイナ” (Takagi Masakatsu; Wolf Children Original Soundtrack {2012}) [classical/instrumental]
I finished playing Umineko. The soundtrack is one of the strong points, and I wound up liking quite a few of the tracks; in alphabetical order from the game soundtracks (“Requiem” is from the anime, see the discography torrent):
Thank you for introducing me to Explosions in the Sky. I’ve listened to The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place all the way through multiple times today. I’m fairly partial to the final track, Your Hand In Mine.
Previously people recommended me Evpatoria Report based on my liking for Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You!, and World’s End Girlfriend. Any more excellent post-rock I ought to hear?
Totally unrelated: I really like metal. Here (Album art NSFW) are some of my favorites. More?
Mogwai is an obvious recommend based off of that, and their new album is coming out soon: you can hear one track from it here, but it’s a little more electronic than their typical.
Kashiwa Daisuke is pretty good, though about half the time it plays I can’t be bothered and skip it and the other half I love it. I think Stella is their best.
God is an Astronaut has some good songs somewhat similar to some Explosions in the Sky as it’s more electronic than most post-rock. All is Violent, All is Bright is a highly approachable album of theirs. These guys got me into post rock but I don’t listen to them that much these days. Maybe I should.
And Sigur Ros has some great ones, like Hopipolla and Glosoli. Really a charming band. Too bad their original music video for Hopipolla is no longer on youtube apparently as it was rather endearing.
Some other bands that I haven’t gotten into but that a friend keeps recommending are 65daysofstatic and Caspian. Sweek might also be worth a try.
Well, that just about exhausts the sum total of my post-rock knowledge. I think it was your recommendation of World’s End Girlfriend got me onto them, so thanks! Their best songs are among my absolute favorites now.
YouTube keeps deleting or muting the full version of the PMMM ending, which I find annoying when I put it on a playlist. Here is the original song on the band’s VEVO channel, which I think is less likely to get deleted.
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying Portugal. The Man’s new(ish) album “Evil Friends”. ‘Modern Jesus’ is an amazing humanist anthem, and its music video is striking.

You should also check out Giants (particularly “While The Ages Steal”) and El Ten Eleven.
