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.

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.
