In Part 2 of our deep dive into Post Rock, we explore the bands and ideas that have shaped this experimental and atmospheric approach to music. From Slint and Mogwai to Sigur Rós and Explosions in the Sky, we look at how these bands create something cinematic...emotional...and entirely unexpected. We also look at how post‑rock influences artists like Radiohead and Broken Social Scene, and why this musical philosophy continues to spread all across the globe.

What exactly is "Post‑Rock"? In this first installment of a two‑part deep dive, we unpack one of the most misunderstood labels in modern music. From its origins in the 1960s to its evolving relationship with rock, ambient, jazz, and experimental traditions...Post-Rock has come to mean different things to different listeners. In part 1, we focus on where the term came from and what it was originally trying to describe. We explore ideas like: The cultural and musical context that gave rise to post‑rock Why the genre resists simple definitions Early artists and scenes that shaped its sound and philosophy How “using rock instruments for non‑rock purposes” became both a manifesto and a limitation Rather than treating post‑rock as a fixed style, we look at it as an idea...one that reflects broader shifts in how music moved away from verse‑chorus structures and toward texture, atmosphere, and long‑form composition.

EPISODIO ESPECIAL - Platiqué con Barry Burns, guitarrista, tecladista y vocalista de la banda escocesa Mogwai, para Ibero 90.9, en el contexto de su presentación en Corona Capital 2025. Platicamos sobre el caos, el instinto y la inevitable honestidad de la música instrumental. Con su nuevo álbum, The Bad Fire, como contexto, descubrimos que el post-rock instrumental que han perfeccionado durante casi tres décadas es mucho menos "cerebral" de lo que yo pensaba y más bien una forma de expresión instintiva y visceral. Barry, con su humor súper escocés, nos guía por las dinámicas del silencio, la explosión y, sobre todo, la ética escocesa para hacer música sin preocuparse demasiado. En esta Mezcla Abrupta, Barry y yo hablamos de:
