The Fusion Reactor #208 - The Post-Rock Reactor

[moses]

This week, I'm exploring post-rock. There are admittedly some similarities between this and math rock, although generally the post-rock rhythms are not as complex. The wikipedia "definition" mentions using rock instruments to make non-rock music, and I guess that's a place to start, although it doesn't completely cover it. You'll just have to listen...

And next week, we'll go back to fusion, I promise!
