i think i like this more than anything they've done... and at least they took it easy with the song titles.

These Mountains Are Safe

this is the first full length from the texas trio Shapes Stars Make, and it sounds a hell of a lot like the bands that have obviously influenced them... explosions in the sky, the appleseed cast, mono, etc...

it's a good album but so many people are tired of the same old post-rock bullshit that many won't give it a chance, and that is unfortunate. the first song sounds like it could be from the new EITS record, but after that it starts to take on a uniqueness of it's own with the help of vocals and some more appleseed cast sounding parts. it takes some patience but worth it if you can sit down and give it a full listen

post-rock.

every time i hear myself say this, or watch myself type it, i can't help but cringe just a little bit. mainly because the average person automatically assumes you're a pretentious asshole that listens to garbage, which isn't usually the case.

the above two bands are/were basically responsible for starting the whole post-rock movement that's occurred over the last 10+ years... and they sound absolutely nothing alike. but even if you hate whatever it is that 'post-rock' encompasses, you should really make sure to own these two albums. definitely some of the best there are.
