Ranges - The Gods of the Copybook Heading

Artist: Ranges
Track: All is Not Gold that Glitters
Album: The Gods of the Copybook Headings (2016)

Ranges is an instrumental post rock band from Bozeman, Montana. The album gets its title from a 1919 poem by Rudyard Kipling, which you can read in full here. Read a review I wholly agree with over on Echoes and Dust. You can get all their music over on Bandcamp, both digitally and physically, but sadly no vinyl :(

This is a must listen, fits nicely into 3rd wave post rock. FFO: This Will Destroy You, Red Sparowes, Russian Circles, etc etc ...

Alamist - Aztec Dreams

Artist: Alarmist
Track: Aztec Dreams
Album: Pal Magnet EP (2013)

Alarmist is an instrumental four-piece from Dublin, consisting of Neil Crowley, Elis Czerniak, Osgar Dukes and Barry O'Halpin. While inevitably compared to many acts on Ireland's healthy post/math-rock scene, Alarmist gained attention for their audibly wide range of influences.

Within their configuration of electric guitars, double drums and electronics, instrumental guitar music is only one touchstone, with the various members' backgrounds in jazz, electronica and contemporary composition infiltrating their tightly wound tracks.

Their performances are often enhanced by projections by live visuals artists Slipdraft.

Japancakes - Behind the Mountains

Artist: Japancakes
Track: Behind the Mountains
Album: Behind the Mountains (2009)

Japancakes is an American indie rock group based in Athens, GA.

Improvisational drone-pop orchestra Japancakes was the brainchild of Athens, GA-based musician Eric Berg, who in 1997 had the idea of organizing a group of ten musicians to take the stage without any previous rehearsals all for the sake of playing a single "D" chord for 45 minutes. Fascinated by the subtle changes and imperfections which textured the performance, Berg began mounting other experiments within a similar conceptual framework; although the onstage lineup often expanded to as many as a dozen instrumentalists, other constants included Nick Bielli, Todd Kelly, Heather McIntosh, John Neff, and Scott Sosebee.

The debut Japancakes album, If I Could See Dallas, followed on Kindercore in the autumn of 1999; an EP, Down the Elements, appeared in the spring, and the sophomore effort Sleepy Strange was issued in early 2001. Darla released Belmondo the following year, and Waking Hours arrived two years later on the Warm imprint. Japancakes switched back to Darla for their two 2007 albums, a cover of My Bloody Valentine's classic album Loveless and an album of original material, Giving Machines, which both arrived that fall
