Post Post Rock

And you thought that post-rock as a musical genre doesn't get any better. Bands like Rachel's and Clogs comes in and slaps you across the face with their musical brilliance. This is how they did it: you take the elements of post-rock, slap it with classical instruments and music, then record everything in a subway station. Yes, that is where post post rock comes in, if I am making any sense at all. OK, it is a term I came up with myself, but their music is just jaw-dropping good. It just seems like for most musical genres out there, taking a step or two beyond the norms is just the winning formula. I am not familiar with the genre of hip-hop, but apparently the best underground hip-hop nowadays aren't even hip-hop at all. I love trip-hop, and it is derived from hip-hop somewhere down the line as well, and look how amazing it is. Anyway, here's a song called 5/4 by Clogs. Hold your jaw.
