One record at a time, and the reason for each step.
Louisville Post-Rock
Hardcore kids who learned to play quiet: clean guitars in odd meters, spoken vocals, basements in Kentucky.
Japanese Post-Rock & Math Rock
Clean twin guitars, drums played as lead instrument, odd meters delivered like pop — Tokyo and Kyoto, 2000 onward.
Oxford Alternative
A ring road city of student bands and apple-shed studios, where shoegaze, Britpop and math rock share a rehearsal room.
