They toured throughout 2004 supporting their debut full length, Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes, which was similarly extolled. With dates opening for the Pixies and a fan in David Bowie, TV on the Radio's popularity outgrew their indie label, and in the summer of '06 they issued Return to Cookie Mountain on Interscope (featuring back up vocals from Bowie), which nabbed top spots on a number of year-end lists for 2006.

Their on-stage performances were equally involved, with members constantly rotating and adding a liveliness to the music in which certain critics were finding a kind of science. The addition of free jazz guitarist Jeff Parker gave the group a warmer yet more insular sound. The recent TNT was both meticulously detailed and limber, melodic and fully realized. Perhaps the group's greatest fault is the cavalcade of copyists they have inspired. Legions of Indie Rockers now create instrumental passages and name drop Steve Reich, creating a monotonous din of mediocrity which is often lofted back at the band by decriers. The band continue unrivalled though, creating complex, ornate music open to a wide array of instrumentation and only occasionally sounding like Weather Report. - Jon Pruett]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62072&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Wed, 2 Sep 2009 12:05:35 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.62072 art.62072 The Sea and Cake art.62072 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62072&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62072&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss The Biz which remains the perfect example of their gradually addictive sound. - Jon Pruett]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7243107&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:24:08 -0800 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7243107 art.7243107 Battles art.7243107 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7243107&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7243107&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40943&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post Bop Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:13:23 -0800 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.40943 art.40943 The Bad Plus art.40943 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40943&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40943&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.18193282&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Sun, 31 May 2009 08:27:14 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.18193282 art.18193282 Glowworm art.18193282 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.18193282&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.18193282&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10465967&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:33:32 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.10465967 art.10465967 This Will Destroy You art.10465967 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10465967&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10465967&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6250&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Krautrock Fri, 4 Dec 2009 13:20:38 -0800 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6250 art.6250 The Notwist art.6250 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6250&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6250&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss 12, the Notwist were putting fanciful dystopian machine worlds on their CD covers, stretching song lengths, and creating an intermittently string-sectioned and increasingly spacious species of doomsday art-rock, as indebted to early Metallica as to Can; an impossibly sad and sweet 1994 cover of Robert Palmer's forgotten electro-pop track "Johnny and Mary" proved a clear turning point. In 1997, the band added a keyboardist, and before long was collaborating with techno artists. As they upped the glitch quotient on 1998's Shrink and especially 2002's critic-approved Neon Golden, indie fans outside Europe took notice.

On 2002's double disc, Each One Teach One, they carried water-torture minimalism to its breaking point, and since then -- averaging more or less an album a year -- they've gotten both daintier and dronier, picking up indie fans much younger than themselves, then regularly finding ways to dumbfound them. - Chuck Eddy]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12201&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Acid Jazz Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:32:30 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.12201 art.12201 Lake Trout art.12201 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12201&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12201&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8830&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Dream Pop Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:35:45 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.8830 art.8830 Lanterna art.8830 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8830&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8830&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62093&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Sun, 13 Dec 2009 10:14:10 -0800 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.62093 art.62093 Trans Am art.62093 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62093&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62093&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62088&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:30:08 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.62088 art.62088 Slint art.62088 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62088&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62088&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Spiderland in 1991 and the blizzard of that year followed shortly thereafter. It is quite possibly the most chilling record you'll ever hear, cold enough to freeze moments of your life like so many empty bubbles trapped in ice. Slint songs spool out yards of slack to hang yourself with, using long, tense tempo builds, maundering vocals and half-nodding guitars to set an uneasy half-dreaming/half-awake mood. It has the effect of leaving ample blank space to paint your own fears into. Taut, minimalist songs like "Don, a Man" list precariously alongside epic hallucinations like "Breadcrumb Trail" and "Good Morning, Captain." The manifold textural shifts and erratic mood swings of their songs left critics grasping for accurate labels, some settling on the pathetically inadequate "New Prog." Labels aside, Slint's success lay in their ability to render into music that crippling romantic malaise which transforms young people, usually in their early twenties, into giant nerve endings which feel only pain. They released three recordings in their brief career, but for sheer implosive gravity, Spiderland stands alone. - Chad Driscoll]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8716&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Fri, 9 Oct 2009 10:32:46 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.8716 art.8716 Japancakes art.8716 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8716&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8716&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5160854&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Brit Rock Thu, 3 Dec 2009 22:53:09 -0800 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5160854 art.5160854 Jonny Greenwood art.5160854 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5160854&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5160854&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11619584&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Fri, 9 Oct 2009 10:32:43 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.11619584 art.11619584 Pivot art.11619584 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11619584&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11619584&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16851&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:25:03 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.16851 art.16851 Mono art.16851 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16851&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16851&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40808&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:03:34 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.40808 art.40808 Xiu Xiu art.40808 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40808&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40808&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63124&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:35:33 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.63124 art.63124 The For Carnation art.63124 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63124&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63124&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5996&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Fri, 19 Dec 2008 12:52:58 -0800 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5996 art.5996 TRS-80 art.5996 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5996&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5996&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62090&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:35:34 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.62090 art.62090 Cul de Sac art.62090 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62090&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62090&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5253&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:14:34 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5253 art.5253 Frontier art.5253 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5253&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5253&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4567&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Avant Garde Jazz Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:50:54 -0800 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4567 art.4567 Marc Ribot art.4567 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4567&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4567&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss else's music -- in this case that of Cuba's Arsenio Rodriguez. This unexpectedly popular project highlights the more melodic, less abrasive side of his mongrelized guitar style, a merger of jazz finesse, Punk attitude, and Chuck Berry-inspired rock 'n' roll simplicity with shards of blues, Surf, and Latin music. His past groups have emphasized these elements in varying proportions: Shrek was a noisy, confrontational outfit that combined simple, folk-like melodies with deconstructionist improv rampages; the aptly named Rootless Cosmopolitans came closer to "normal" rock and blues at times, but Ribot's cynical, knowingly off-key vocals and bleeding-amp guitar leads kept things off balance. These projects have their imperfections -- more so than the recent Cuban one -- but when you're dealing with someone who owns up to playing "wrong notes" in his solos, perfection is not to be expected, or even really desired. - Will York]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14435&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:23:49 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.14435 art.14435 The Mercury Program art.14435 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14435&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14435&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2676&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Space Rock Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:32:59 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2676 art.2676 Fuxa art.2676 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2676&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2676&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8089412&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Indie/Alternative Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:25:17 -0800 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.8089412 art.8089412 Maquiladora art.8089412 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8089412&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8089412&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss What the Day Was Dreaming and the masterful A House All On Fire, on indie stalwart Darla Records, Maquiladora has remained staunchly DIY and rather media-shy since coming together in the mid '90s. Back then, the group was a loose knit collective, experimenting with a prickly brand of Americana filtered through hushed post-rock. (Or is that the other way around?) By the release of their 1998 debut, The Lost Works of Eunice Phelps, Maquiladora's line-up was set: Eric Nielsen, Phil Beaumont and Bruce McKenzie -- all three singer-songwriters. Over the course of five albums and two EPs, Maquiladora have refined their sound, dipping that post-rock Americana into a cloudy bath rippling with classic West Coast lysergia. There's some Band-inspired twang in there for sure, but ultimately the band likes to venture to the outer rings of Saturn (to visit Pink Floyd?) then return to Earth and land underneath the star-flecked skies of the Mojave. - Justin Farrar]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5950&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Sun, 30 Aug 2009 09:01:06 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5950 art.5950 Marmoset art.5950 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5950&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5950&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7071244&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Sat, 6 Jun 2009 08:29:31 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7071244 art.7071244 The Benevento Russo Duo art.7071244 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7071244&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7071244&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7645848&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:39:18 -0800 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7645848 art.7645848 Nels Cline art.7645848 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7645848&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7645848&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38094&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Rock Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:25:13 -0700 Top Post-Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.38094 art.38094 Couch art.38094 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38094&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38094&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fexperimental%2Fpost-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss
