Will, I wouldn't really consider any of those artists as post-rock. But
that term is a pretty slippery one. I've seen it used to describe anyone
from Low to Oval, neither of whom I think fall into that category. When I
think postrock, I think Trans Am, Tortoise, Flying Saucer Attack.... But,
of course, this is all open to interpretation. Check out
www.post-rock.com for a little more coherent explanation of things
(although I don't agree with their band listing).
