Dreary days really put me in a post-rock mood, and since it's been raining for the better part of the last month, might as well post what I've been playing.
Sharks Keep Moving has been my favorite rainy day/night driving band for the last four years or so. With great off-time playing, sparse vocals perfectly placed, and all around fantastic instrumentation, it's really worth a listen. Jake from Minus the Bear is the vocalist of SKM, and he really does a great job.
Everything is Made in China kind of came out of nowhere for me. I was in some random chat where some dudes were talking about their first EP that they were really proud of, and linked it to everyone in the room. I downloaded it and was amazed with how damn good these dudes were. I asked them the obvious few questions, their name and where they were from. It ended up being EIMIC, a group of dudes from russia who just liked the music they played. Great melodies, fantastic vocals(english oddly enough) that aren't stressed but play into the overall song, and just an overall great sound.
Mexico 1910 is a very hard band to find, or get ahold of. Their EP doesn't have any album art, neither does their new album. I only have their EP but give me a day or so and I'll have their album, which is also a great listen. Their EP sounds like the darker heavier moments of Godspeed, with their own twist. They keep it interesting, and cut out all the fat and keep the delicious meat.
