You might wanna try Fridge. They are kinda Tortoise-y. I've heard indie-rock types say that they're "like Tortoise, but can actually play their instruments" I don't know about that (I really like Tortoise and I think they're good musicians. Some post-rock that's not too much like Tortoise that I've been getting into lately is from a band called Cul de Sac. Their album "Crashes To Light Minutes Before the Fall" (on Thirsty Ear) is very good. Hope this helps, Jeff
