| That's probably one of my key focus bands... though I'd probably list: ISIS — Oceanic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2C8Z1Keluk ISIS — Panopticon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA2AJIiw0p8 ISIS — In The Absence of Truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atCKkDusJkc The latter being a more accessible, earthlier sound (with no growling); yet the former two being the greater works. Additionally, some classic post-rock masterpieces by GY!BE: Godspeed You! Black Emperor — F# A# ∞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy4IsC5eb7o Godspeed You! Black Emperor — Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZwQeZh6rP0 As a track is named, the former is bleak, uncertain, beautiful; both melancholic and uplifting with despairing wails and wavering cries of tears and joy. The second is the more known GY!BE album, which is just as good. Nowadays, I just listen to whatever strikes my mood (I can tune most stuff out), but the ones I listed above were particularly good for focusing during essay writing. |
