Experimental / Post-Rock

The 2005 album of the Montreal ensemble, back for its 21st anniversary: six songs of protest and love for strings, guitars, piano and group voices, recorded at Hotel2Tango with Howard Bilerman.

The Swiss trio's new double LP turns from brutal, linear minimalism to slowness and immersion: four long pieces of guitar, bass and drums recorded almost entirely live, with a drum machine for the first time. On Cuneiform.

2006 release  **  Airportman is a musical project founded in the summer of 2003 by Giovanni Risso and Marco Lamberti. "One could call the band's style instrumental post-rock, which certainly navigates—or rather flies...—between Radiohead, Tortoise, and certain cutting-edge electro-jazz, but with whispers, subtle deviations, that sense of perpetual psychedelic instability. Airportman follow a personal direction, creating a maze of allusions, a play of mirrors, and dialogues between barely plucked…

2006 release ** "A crossroads between jazz representation and experimental post-rock, "Hidden Or Just Gone" is perhaps Caboto's test of maturity. More than five years after their debut, the Bologna-based instrumental combo has arguably reached its peak, transfiguring its avant-garde writing within refined yet extremely neurotic and obscure environments. An intense and accomplished album. It features a subtle alternation between improvised figures and reasoned structures. A marked aptitude for fr…

2009 release ** Minimalistic post rock and ambient music, very dark and somber.

2010 release ** Pete Wright and Martin Wilson from Crass.

2025 Repress. Three decades after its initial release, Gastr del Sol's Mirror Repair remains one of the most perfectly realized statements in the post-rock canon - a five-track EP that captured the crystalline moment when experimental precision met emotional immediacy. Now, Drag City presents a 2025 repress of this essential 1994 release, offering contemporary listeners the opportunity to experience the album that defined the creative partnership between David Grubbs and Jim O'Rourke at its most…

Grails – the experimental rock institution who have cultivated a quarter-century career out of crate-plunging cultural curiosities – returns a mere two years after the lauded Anches En Maat with their most personal and emotionally resonant album to date. While the band still revel in rearranging bizarre and obscure sources into something often revelatory and surreal, Miracle Music does so with an ascendant melodic power that feels hallowed. The Miracle Music lineup includes cofounders Emil Amos …

2004 release ** "Guapo is a British trio that plays an intense music that straddles the boundaries of progressive, noise, minimalism and avant-rock. Their sound has been compared to such artists as Magma, Boredoms, King Crimson, Univers Zero, This Heat, Ruins, Sun Ra and Terry Riley. As Sound Projector put it, "Guapo come on like all the hellhounds of Magma, Eskaton and Ruins were after them...on a par with Magma’s Kohntarkosz or Univers Zero’s Ceux Du Dehors". Five Suns is the band’s fifth albu…

2008 release **  "If many indie bands, for at least a year now, look to the German area and the Eighties as their only point of inspiration, Kobenhavn Store pushes higher, going towards Scandinavia, towards the ice and the pure and rarefied atmospheres of Sigur Ros or Amiina, but with a strong electronic contribution and an excellent management of the arrangement. To this attention to sound are added the pleasant influences developed by multiple listenings: they are positive influences, made of …

2004 release ** "First edition of Nick Grey's debut album: an unexpected, elegant cross between avantrock and classical music, not far from the Tindersticks' poignant laments, David Bowie's "Outside" LP and Current 93's haunted ballads. "Regal Daylight", which features the participation of Nick's father, Romanian tenor Vasile Moldoveanu, is a hypnotic, lyrical and intimate experience."

Upgrade & Afterlife stands as a pivotal and singular recording in the catalog of Gastr del Sol, the duo of David Grubbs and Jim O’Rourke. Originally released in 1996, this album is frequently cited as a landmark of post-rock and experimental music, praised for its blend of avant-garde abstraction, folk minimalism, and a restless, exploratory spirit. The album opens with “Our Exquisite Replica of ‘Eternity’,” a piece that has become emblematic for many listeners: a slow-building, cinematic sounds…

2010 release ** Includes download of 6 live bonus tracks.

2002 release ** "It's virtually impossible to discuss The Land of Nod without comparing them to My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Spacemen 3 or a gaggle of otheratmospheric shoegazer bands that did it first."

2011 release ** "The debut release from Lanterner was recorded in a scummy practice pit and a high end media arts research institute. Borrowing the keys, late at night, this release was culled from live sessions, practice sessions, late night overdubs and mistakes. A quickly fastened mic in a practice space to carefully mic’d headphones in a cardboard box - techniques chosen for mood gold not textbooks. These songs Throb and Drift with a Lean Tension and pulsing, dreamt, attempt at escape(s), du…

2006 release ** "This compilation is dedicated to the 5th birthday of Ukrainian indie-label Quasi Pop. CD feautures absolutely new & exclusive tracks from the main label-mates (Andreas Brandal, Biblioteka Prospero, Peel Off The Bass, Jørgen Knudsen) and a lot of "special birthday stuff" from labels's old & new friends from different countries. Enjoy our surrealistic blend of weird pop, organic noise, neo-psychedelic, electro-acoustic, garage folk & processed field recordings!" (label info) Great…

2006 release ** "The Krakow band Bordo, celebrating their tenth anniversary, has given us the album 'Komu mam to pomaga?'. Post-rock, psychedelic, sometimes dark - this is the music of the Bordo group. The term space-rock fits it perfectly. When recording the album 'Komu mam to pomaga?', the artists chose twelve songs from the fifty prepared ones, which gave an hour of material. The crazy music is accompanied by equally psychedelic lyrics, or rather phrases repeated over and over again, such as …

1999 release - cardboard box ** "Hard to explain the birth of a band like A Short Apnea, ahead in the conception and in the sound, if you don’t browse the curriculum of the musicians, devoted to experimentation with other genres of music since the 80′s. Always in search of a music in which barriers between progressive, post-rock, free jazz, avantgarde, A Short Apnea became soon a cult and a reference for who attends from years to find in a band ahead as well as deeply italian."
