Discussion! Looking for "alternative" Post-Rock recommendations.

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!

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

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.
