I don’t “hate” Coldplay, I nothing them. I don’t care for their sound at all, but am routinely forced to listen to it in stores. I resent being forced to listen to music, but don’t hate the bands themselves.

The stores who play ten songs on a loop can go fuck themselves, however.

Ever heard of Jakob? They’re a post-rock trio from New Zealand and they make gorgeous music with shoegaze-like guitar and one of the best drummers I’ve ever heard. They’re one of the best post-rock bands out there and just as good as MONO with a similar sound. If you like Mogwai I imagine you’ll like Jakob.

This is their most recent album, and a good starting point since it has the best production of their discography.

It’s an excellent album. I love the shoegaze vibes, which are more prominent than the post-rock sounds this time.
