Awesome news... I heard about them recording ages ago and kinda forgot until now - thanks for the reminder!

Very cool band right there. I was just coming to this thread to recommend them and saw they had already been mentioned.

Cale/Drew is a nice album from them.

I've been using Pandora recently to try to find some more post rock. Using Mogwai, God is an Astronaut, and This Will Destroy You as seeds, I have discovered some nifty bands worth checking out:

Masha Qrella
Sans Arc
Kill Sadie
The Six Parts Seven

I just found Maybeshewill. I can't say this group has the most complex music, but it's very enjoyable to listen to.

My first post! I was just about to recommend these guys, but I'm not sure where you would put this band, but Anoice is a great band. Listen to Liange... it's great.

Man, I am loving me some Saxon Shore right now. Great music. And tonight, I'm going up to Chicago to see The Appleseed Cast.

One of the best post-rock albums I've listened to in a long time. I love it when post-rock is blended with slowcore. Using the violin to drive the music, the result is this really hypnotic melodic experience that feels very serene yet intensely emotional. Beautiful sadness. Melancholic.

Dirty Three - Ocean Songs (1998)

Just discovered them, good band but the album "It Doesn't Matter" was mastered a bit loud. I saw Appleseed Cast live with Dreamend open for Appleseed Cast's Low Level Owl Tour where they played said albums Vol 1+2 in a row. Amazing show.

Good album, but not one track stood out. It felt like one really long song.

Definitely a lot more interesting than some of the bands mentioned in this thread

Yes, I have the CD, and I saw them live a few weeks ago. Easily the best live show I've ever been to, ended up getting pulled onto the stage for the finale!

The new Russian Circles album is out soon, I've preordered the CD, and the vinyl version too. There's a box set that has all 3 colours of the vinyl pressing.

Everyone needs to check out Maybeshewill. The music is great, with lots of samples from films and stuff, and they're really nice guys too. The new album is out next week I think.

I am not too much of a fan of this genre. I prefer post-metal like ISIS, Rosetta etc.

Anyone checked out Long Distance Calling? Its nothing ground-breaking or new, but the melodies are good, dare I say catchy? Their albums seem to be quite well produced.

Long Distance Calling. It was a real shame, but the first band on were a local metal band who did covers of Black Sabbath and most people had turned up to see them?! The crowd got smaller for the the headliners. However, Glasgow is a major venue for music and thankfully post rock bands, possibly because of the influence of Mogwai as our local band. I ended up in Edinburgh to see them on their present tour.
 
A band who I seen once and will see again in a couple of months is And So I Watch You From Afar (ASIWYFA) who are at the metal end of the genre.They pack their venues and are well worth checking out. I saw Grails last year, along with about 40 other people. Other more local bands on tour at the moment are Errors (a band supported by Mogwai on their label) and Vessels. Next month I will be going to see Battles, who I do not think have been mentioned in this thread.
 
Of course, plenty more ideas, with pictures here   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/492949/the-post-and-math-rock-appreciation-thread
