The past several years have marked a strange shift in the genre of post-rock. London’s “windmill scene” with groups like BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD urging on a new wave of Gen Z bands to take on traditional post-rock song structures with anxious vocals and lyrics, saxophones and string sections. On top of this, there’s the “rateyourmusic-core” solo artists, combining post-rock with everything from shoegaze to midwest emo - generally influenced by groups like SLINT and SWANS .
