The Precipice

To like is to like and to love is to love.  With like, it's something you can tolerate or accept for a brief period of time, but to love is something you are willing to withstand through the test of time.  I like a lot of artists and their music, but it takes something special for me to love it and I know that I love Mogwai.  I think the more I listen to post-rock, the more I appreciate music without lyrics.  Hearing the sounds of the instruments; guitar, drums, bass allows you to make up what you wish to think about at that moment.  Mogwai's sixth album, The Hawk is Howling is one of those albums.

Enjoy!

A semi-local band, hailing from San Marcos, Texas, is another great post rock band that I've heard as of late.  Since my roommate listens to a lot of post rock, he recommended this album.  If you have seen the movie Moneyball, The Mighty Rio Grande makes an appearance.  This is This Will Destroy You's debut album.

Enjoy!
