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

Might not be apropos for this thread but Great Waves by The Dirty Three w/Cat Power would be great on this soundtrack. |

Been listening to these 2 bands a lot. And it seems Mono's Hymn to the Immortal Wind will be forever in my head. |

I kinda stopped caring about post-rock and tend to focus on ambient/drone/neo-classical kind of stuff now. But I still enjoy SR/GYBE/RC/Grails/YONL. |

Has anyone mentioned Balmorhea yet? Can't embed, so clicky instead. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=viN41AnA0uc |

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. |

Do Make Say Think and Caspian have both put out some solid records. And several of the godspeed spin-offs are really great. |
