mixtape | bleak house: a uk post rock primer (vol 2)

and without further ado, here's volume 2. this one picks up at 1994 and ends in 2007 with the slo-core bliss-out of epic45.

i should point out that these two mixes focus on the "experimental" side of post rock. a primer on the sturm und drang noisy side (mogwai etc.) is coming soon.

main | motion pool

possibly my favourite album by main, an ice-cold masterpiece.

cd released by beggars banquet in 1994.

you're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice our love.

main | hydra-calm

part industrial, part drone, part ambient - two former members of loop create arctic masterpieces of repetition. cold, haunting, but gripping. this is their first two eps collected.

released by situation two in 1992.

hold on to your friends.
