DEFINITION
Post-rock is an experimental rock derivative that examines the track structures, riffs and timbres of traditional rock. Groups are usually instrumental. Guitars, drums and similar instruments can be combined with electronic instruments. The genre appeared on the stage of indie and underground music in the early 1980s and early 1990s. In addition, it is similar to contemporary indie music by interacting with various genres within electronica, jazz, dub and minimalist classics due to its distancing from the rock order. Initially while groups like Talk Talk and Slint formed the basis of the genre, the post-rock term was found in 1994 by journalist Simon Reynolds for Bark Psychosis's album "Hex". Reynolds extended this invention in May 1994 due to the issue of The Wire.
Reynolds, the man who write about groups like Seefeel, Disco Inferno and Techno Animals described the genre as follows: "Using rock instruments for non-rock purposes and using guitars as facilitators of timbres and textures instead of riffs and power chords." Based on the earliest use of the term Christopher Porterfield stressed that in September 1967, in the cover story of Time magazine the Beatles group and producer George Martin used the studio to push possibilities of the studio, leading to evolution: "The best post-rock sounds present and pop music has become something like never before: an art form." Post-rock scene with drone music was influenced by the 1970s krautrock particularly the "motoric" rhythms that were characteristic. The genre post-rock which develops itself in the light of genres such as krautrock, ambient, psychedelia, prog/space/math rock and minimalist classic is also associated with fields such as post-punk, chamber jazz, contemporary classical and avant-garde electronica.
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
In the late 1960s the post-rock was influenced by US band Velvet Underground and their understanding of dronology: "a term that easily identifies fifty percent of today's post-rock activity." Continue on in a 2004 article by Stylus Magazine, if David Bowie's album "Low" was released twenty years later said it would be considered post-rock. Described as undisputed first post-rock band by NME magazine, the British band Public Image Ltd almost abandoned traditional rock and roll structures with reference to John Lydon's encrypted streams of dub and intense krautrock atmosphere on their second album Metal Box. The Heat group one of the shining stars of the transition to 1980 has been compared to names like Slint, Swans and Stereolab and has been considered to: "the band already discovered the genre" in some environments with its unique combination of avant-prog, krautrock and industrial.
Since the early 1990s a driving force for post-rock, the assumed art rock/new wave mix Talk Talk and math/post-hardcore mix Slint has been running the same goal although they run in different areas. Initially used to describe groups such as Stereolab, Laika, Disco Inferno, Moonshake and Pram post-rock has been used frequently for various jazz, krautrock, instrumental and electronica mixed productions that emerged after 1994. Tortoise's second album "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" has become a symbol of the post-rock, while Cul de Sac, Tortoise, Labradford and the Stars of the Lid are clearly known as pioneers of the American post-rock movement and many groups (Do Make Say Think, Isotope 217, etc.) started to record with inspiration from the sound environment called Tortoise-sound. In the late 1990s John McEntire of Tortoise and Jim O'Rourke of Brise-Glace/Gastr del Sol became important idols for many groups. The most prominent post-rock bands of the period and the near future are Godspeed You! Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion and Fly Pan Am are also mentioned.
CONSTRUCTIONS IN 2000'S
At the beginning of the 2000s some critic's expressions and groups such as Tortoise, Cul de Sac or Mogwai rejected the label of the genre which led to controversial environments. These groups emphasized the usefulness of a wide range of styles regardless of the type of "x" or "y" defined by others. Despite most harsh and intense criticism post-rock retained its importance and position. Later, Radiohead released the album "Kid A" which is a turning point in their musical styles. Sigur Rós, who mixes post-rock with dream pop/alternative fields, became one of the best post-rock bands of 2000s with the publication of Ágætis byrjun in 1999 and with his growing popularity parts of Hoppípolla were used in the film/serials and trailers including the BBC's Planet Earth. Explosions in the Sky, 65daysofstatic, This Will Destroy You, Do Make Say Think and Mono were considered the most competent and known post-rock bands of new millennium.
After a break of nearly 13 years, experimental rock band Swans released a series of albums featuring post-rock elements especially "Be Kind" which ranked in top 40 for the US and UK with the others. Swedish post-rock band Oh Hiroshima received positive feedback in 2015 with the album "In Silence We Yearn". Externally in the field of post-rock, the recent of large-scale experimental activities and other genres blending has taken priority. Groups such as Cult of Luna, Isis, Russian Circles, Palms and Pelican combine metal with post-rock styles. As a result of the fusion type called post-metal names such as Giant Squid, Battle of Mice or Callisto from the sludge/sludge metal field were considered to be pioneers of the mixed genre. Similarly, names such as Altar of Plagues, Lantlôs and Agalloch combine post-rock/black metal genres with traditional and obsolete structures but through such groups as Deafheaven these fuses not only combined with one or two types but also combined in many genres/areas and laid the groundwork for enormous currents and sound environments.
In addition: After the post-metal I arranged it on it. It's worth noting that I didn't put groups such as Talk Talk or Bark Psychosis into the table due to either the subtitle mismatch or existing other basic groups. Also I didn't add ASMZ and Set Fire to Flames because there would be 3 GYBE in the chart. In general you can get an idea from the chart/derived species. My favorite post-rock piece is Labradford's "Everlast". Stay good yall.
