I don't listen to much post-rock but this is usually my go-to when I feel the need.

Has anyone mentioned Balmorhea yet? Can't embed, so clicky instead.
Yeah, good band, even though I didn't care for their latest album at all. They're closer to the kind of sound I like than to the stereotypical guitar crescendo post-rock.

I don't know anything other than the one album tbh. But I like it.
Their first three albums are more in the vein of what you posted IIRC (All Is Wild All Is Silent being my fav of that bunch), after that they went a bit more minimal, less catchy on the 4th one, almost ambient, and that would be the one I like the most.

Sigur Ros / Balmorhea / Godspeed. Those are the only post-rock bands that, after repeated listening, I find to really have their own identities. I like Explosions in The Sky, but whenever I hear them all I keep thinking is that Sigur Ros stole their best ideas and make more interesting songs out of them. The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place is a decent album but I mostly enjoyed it because Sigur Ros obviously took influence from it.

Also, I've spent a few years trying to get into Russian Circles, and concluded that I like the idea more often than I like the execution.
