“Post-rock” Reviews

All 5 of the CD’s songs move at a pace that would make “glacial” seem hasty.

The most emotional and affecting Pan-American album to date.

Codename: Dustsucker represents a stunning return to form for the band.

Even with the album’s obvious flaws, Summer Make Good is certainly no reason to write off or dismiss Múm.

As much as I want to enjoy the album, it seems insistent on holding me at arm’s length.

It’s like Labradford remixing Seefeel remixing… Labradford!

As slow and mellow an album as you’re likely to hear all year.

North Via manages to separate themselves from many of the post-rock/instrumental bands that would normally be considered their peers.

Shimmering, beautiful post-rock shot through with darkness and anxiety.

The Potomac Accord manage to twist a number of post-rock clichés by using piano as a lead instrument.

These songs rarely feel as compelling as it seems like they should be.

I wish I could find it more lovely, but it all feels a bit too fake for my tastes.

An utterly compelling release and one that further establishes and cements the band’s reputation with each listen.

Set Fire to Flames really manages to capture the sound of human madness and fright.

The post-rock band smooths out their sound… but that’s not necessarily a good thing.

On Until He Finds Us, Timonium don’t re-write the Book of Slowcore so much as edit it subtly.

When you think you have the album figured out, the band seems content on frustrating your expectations.

Much like the slowly building nature of its songs, I found my appreciation inexorably growing with each listen.

Their music proves to be quite a bit more than just the sum of their obvious influences and inspirations.

Their most unpredictable and heaviest album to date.
