Description

Post-Rock was first coined by writer Simon Reynolds in 1994 to describe the emerging sounds of hard-to-categorize bands such as Stereolab, Seefeel, Main and Pram. Its street usage came to describe bands that play on the margins of rock's culture and sound, often cross-pollinating with dance music, fusing the acoustic with the electronic, the out-dated with the cutting-edge, the lo-fi with the eternally remixed. Artists Tortoise and Ui create mesmerizing, cyclical rhythms that are a counterpoint to the lush drones of Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor! To Rococo Rot and Kreidler explore the spaces between Intelligent Dance Music and Krautrock while Trans Am creates a pastiche of '70s and '80s FM radio.
