I like a couple bands that are 99% instrumental music. I looked one up and it says the band is a post-rock band. OK...so what the heck is that?
Evidently, according to Wikipedia it means using instruments and electronic equipment to create textures rather than a traditional song structure. Post-rock borrows from ambience, minimalism, classical, progressive rock, space rock, and Krautrock. Most post-rock is instrumental. I have also seen this type music called Chillwave, which is a pretty good description. I get it....I think.
Popular post-rock bands are Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Mogwai.
Anyway, If you listen to any of this type music, please list who you like and why. I am looking to try more of this music.
I currently like God Is An Astronaut. I know the band name is goofy, but the music is really good. They do have some vocals but not much. I find it more progressive / krautrock with a lot of piano work. Simply stunning music!
Another group I like is Paint The Sky Red. Also progressive but more ambient than God Is An Astronaut. They have a lot of guitar work and it is kind of drone-like but builds in layers with more instruments. Very cool to listen to.
