Aye thats what I was meaning, influenced wise than sounding wise... Bench are one of the closest bands I can think of thats all...Well to the names mentioned above anyway.

[red5]

right, next gig i'm there. (i'll be the sinister looking guy on the ceiling with the beard and bicycle pump)

[Hogisbald]

Actually, Im in the process of getting a side project going very soon which should sound like Gods Speed mixed with Ulver but... em also some heavy shit which will make it sound like a personifacation of OCD!!!!

we're(dedalus) heavily influenced by godspeed and explosions in the sky, and general constellation style post rockness. though most people tend to just spot the post punk influences. check out clive ravensby for constellation style improvisations. we've done a few instrumentals in the past that have been very godspeedy but we don't tend to play them anymore. may release some though.

i'm also currently putting together an improv band which will probably sound similar to stuff like that but hopefully not too similar. as i'm a lazy cunt this may take a while to get going though.

hookers green #1 used to be the premier band for that stuff round these parts but they've moved on alot now. completely revamped their sound.

slight angle on above:-

Kasule who are playing Drakes on 15th May (with Frogpocket, Chevron & Electric Tibet) are loosly described as Joy Division big chords; Ulrich Schnauss/ Slowdive/Elbow guitars/Slow-Faster-Harder -Louder type Spaceman3 & Mogwai They will impress anybody who was impressed by Explosions in the Sky.

Come see, come believe this line up, Kasule must be something if they are headlining
this amazing line up...........

bench are great but sound nothing like those bands, however i realise that they are influenced by them, its a pretty lazy comparison

i would have said dedalus but dave got in there first

i cant believe i have still not seen clive ravensby yet, been to three gigs they have played at and missed them each time

i believe that ross from small enclosed area and niall from the gloria flaw are working on something along those lines though

Your right there. I love explosions in the sky, Mogwai and God Speed and listen to them most of all. I know Graham does too. But I'd say our stuff is a lot more orientated around strumming and chord playing. This is prob due to the fact that I can't sing and play guitar at the same time if it's not strumming.

Its prob essential to use alot one minimal guitar some times just using one note and some delay to achieve a sound like E.I.T.S. Having said this there is a track we recorded on our "soon to be relesed album" (see what I did there? wink) just after that E.I.T.S gig. It has no vocals at the moment which is prob why it sounds very similar.

It's not the laziest coparison we've got. Although on some web site for the lemon tree gig with Starfall and Cleartone we were said to "mix traditional drum and bass with DJ scratches infusing them together to get an original sound."

Beats me?!

might i also add that we have beards. and you can see our beards on saturday supporting stapleton in moshulu. huzzah.

Christ people!!! go buy/borrow/steal/ download, "Perdition City" by Ulver.

Ulver used to be a Black metal band from Norway, now they are an ambient/jazz/experimental band which is ace stuff!

Turning 13 have been know to dabble in post-rock, not much though as we tend to write more "conventional songs" check out the track, funnily enough "instrument" from our ep and come see us play with Jetplane Landing on the 3rd of May at Kef.
