Mogwai (from Mr. Beast)
1 MP3: Glasgow Mega-Snake
2 MP3: Friend of the Night

I'm a bit late to the gravy train of this climaxinghugesound sort of post-rock but it doesn't surprise me that I like it at all. If anything, I am surprised by how familiar it sounds. Almost easy listening for the avant garde set - familiar structures and sonic details, but instantly rewarding. Glasgow Mega-Snake is a huge, crushing track that I play loud as fuck in my car while other drivers think about how obnoxious I am. Friend of the Night is slower, but more gorgeous in its stride. If you share any of my musical tastes at all, you will love both of these songs.
