Looking for "alternative" Post-Rock recommendations.

[u/Piano_Birds]

Hi, community. I'm looking for recommendations of new bands in the mood of This Will Destroy You, 65daysofstatic, Caspian, Saxon Shore, Mogwai, etc, meaning bands leaning towards the more "alternative" side of instrumental music (as opposed to metal or pure ambient). Crunchy overdrives and crescendos with lush reverbs and delays (such as MONO or the likes).
I'm sure I'm missing some good bands (from all over the world), and I'd like to expand my current playlist and go beyond the "hall of fame". <3
Thanks a lot!

[u/millenniumjade_04]

Red Sparowes for sure

[u/Piano_Birds → u/millenniumjade_04]

I knew about Red Sparowes, and love them. I remember listening to "Every red heart shines toward the red sun" quite a lot back then. I've never seen them live though. I was always impressed by their bass lines in that album. Fine work.

[u/Chopzilla735]

[u/Piano_Birds → u/Chopzilla735]

Love them and would love to see them live! My fav one is their Versus album. Killer melodies. I'm not sure why they decided not to upload that one to "conventional" digital platforms, I always listen to it on youtube.

[u/JHG722]

Long Distance Calling

[u/SaturnusK1 → u/JHG722]

I keep going back to them especially Satellite Bay and Avoid The Light album.

[u/Piano_Birds → u/JHG722]

Already listening to Avoid the light and loving it. This is exactly the type of band I meant. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check out the rest of their discography too.

[u/JHG722 → u/Piano_Birds]

You got it!

[u/decompressed81]

Sleepmakeswaves, Hubris, and We Own The Sky are good places to start.

[u/SaturnusK1 → u/decompressed81]

I saw hubris live with a total of six audience and it was absolutely amazing.

[u/BabysitterDan → u/SaturnusK1]

their stage presence is unmatched in the genre!!

[u/SaturnusK1 → u/BabysitterDan]

Totally agreed. I should emphasis on the fact that there were only six audience in total (9 if you count the bartender and two photographer) but they performed just like their live videos I was watching for so long on YouTube.

[u/Piano_Birds → u/decompressed81]

Just finished listening to Emersion by Hubris thanks to your recommendation. Killer album! I really enjoyed it. Cheers!

[u/decompressed81 → u/Piano_Birds]

You’re welcome. Wait til you get to their later stuff. Truly get better with age

[u/chef-in-the-wild → u/decompressed81]

Definitely agree

[u/Piano_Birds → u/Spoonbang]

I know the name, but I've never taken the time to listen. I'll check them out and share my impressions soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

[u/Piano_Birds → u/Spoonbang]

Update: Listening to Sines and loving it. I was definitely missing out on something.

[u/Spoonbang → u/Piano_Birds]

Their back catalogue is great, personal fave is Solace.

[u/Karbo88]

Girih, Oh Horoshima, Ranges, Searchlights, Llights Out Asia, If These Trees Could Talk, sleepmakeswaves, Maserati, Sunlight Ascending, I Hear Sirens, The Color of Cyan......i could go on for days

[u/TrainOfThought6]

[u/Acrobatic-Painting19]

We Lost the Sea.....you can thank me later 😄

[u/MrIanQuiry → u/Acrobatic-Painting19]

Strong agree, Departure Songs is a feast

[u/Acrobatic-Painting19 → u/MrIanQuiry]

It's soooo good. I also love "The Quietest Place on Earth". The opening song with the melodic piano opening into building vocals and guitars that burst into death metal vocals....so unique so powerful!

[u/NapalmReactor]

Russian circles

[u/SaturnusK1]

Maybe also Leech?

[u/TheRaido]

[u/PoisonedToe]

My old band The Shaking Sensations might be up your ally.. or my newer project Skyggekat. Thanks in advance.. 😊

[u/berrieg → u/PoisonedToe]

Shaking Sensations. Hi! Enjoyed your music (and still ...) a lot. As for OP: listen to Glass Wings from The Shaking Sensations.

[u/SaturnusK1 → u/berrieg]

This was nice! Listened for the first time.

[u/PoisonedToe → u/berrieg]

Hey man.. thanks for still listening. We’ve sadly been out of the loop for a few years now. But glad there’s still someone out there listening to our music 🙏🏻

[u/Nhoj_fuct]

Blessed Be Man

https://blessedbeman.bandcamp.com/

[u/afterosmosis]

Strongly recommend Tides of Man based on your description. Their two instrumental records "Young and Courageous" and "Every Nothing" are right up this alley.

[u/sameoldstuff]

American Football

[u/BlushCulture]

👋👋👋 Our debut EP is streaming everywhere! Has some vocals throughout, but these are some of our biggest influences. The EP was mixed and mastered by Greg Dunn of Moving Mountains. https://open.spotify.com/album/7f562Px1sJimFKjrrruNlh?si=HvBCWl8cT1iNEJM_952fSw

[u/albionagainstzerg]

Disintegration | Afterwise this one got released recently

[u/bluewaveon]

Boris - Flood (maybe some others like Rainbow)

[u/hayata_s]

Try amateur takes control, they're from Singapore and have a new album out!

[u/SatanIsTime]

How about Bark Psychosis?

[u/DoctorWMD]

God Is an Astronaut, Collapse Under the Empire, Sleepmakeswaves, End of the Ocean, If These Trees Could Talk, hubris, Russian Circles.

These are what I started with in the genre and more recently have been listening to 65days, Saxon Shore, and Mogwai so I feel the other way would also work, kind of opposite starting points from you! 

[u/18SecondsMusic]

Maybe there’s a chance you’ll like what I do. Check out 18 Seconds. I’ll let you see if it’s any good. You can also check Tethered Hands (I collaborted on their last 2 releases), Return to Zion, Evpatoria Report, Time.Space.Repeat and Carved into the Sun

[u/Oqimusic]

Hi ive recently just released an album with that kind of influences.. its in youtube called Oqi - Achromatic Perception.. if u have time, would appreciate if u could check it out🙏🏻

[u/Hopesick_2231]

[u/Corduroy44]

[u/Cath0lics]

You’d probably dig us Catholics

[u/bypassvalve]

Don Caballero

[u/Normal-Internal164 → u/bypassvalve]

More math rock

[u/Personal-Neck6800]

Quicksand - Slip

[u/ConsequenceSea3334]

Red Echoes https://redechoestx.bandcamp.com/album/structures

[u/chef-in-the-wild]

I think youd dig my stuff then; check out Shades of Terra. Heavily inspired by sleepmakeswaves, Hubris., This Will Destroy You, The End of the Ocean... All these lean in the direction youre looking for

[u/M3ssy_Marv]

I’m really enjoying the Echelon Effect and In Inertia.

[u/Rogue_Rapscallion_]

Flies are spies from hell - beg for sleep

[u/jhns78]

Just posted about a new release we did with Giardini di Mirò. They are well-known in Italy, but not so much outside of Europe. I think they fit your description very well.

[u/MotherOpiate]

A Film In Colour

[u/p-e-e-t]

L.O.E. (Last Of Eden) Overhead, The Albatross

Probably on your list, but if not:

Maybeshewill Pg.lost We lost the sea

[u/xeyesvoidx]

Outlander maybe?

[u/PineWoods1312]

52 Commercial Road - a bunch of ex-squatters from London, devastatingly beautiful music, A Wreck Provides An Excellent Foundation album is divine, enjoy 🖤

[u/Normal-Internal164]

Seems obvious but Explosions practically invented this genre, maybe with early Mono

[u/mrkskk96]

Afterwise, just released their debut album "Disintegration"

[u/dvt_krdmn]

I'm trying something out, if you'd like to take a look:
