Stress. Pressure. Tension. We are constantly surrounded by things in our lives that are fighting for our attention -- slowly rising and building up until we find ourselves completely trapped between a rock and hard place. It's at that point that we dig deep, finding new highs deep within ourselves that we never knew existed.
That's exactly the process that a good post-rock or ambient track should take you through. Lulling you until that moment. You know, that moment when your heart simply can't take it anymore as it completely bombards and overtakes you.
Tonight, I bring you a collection of some electronically tinged post-rock to hopefully get you through your own personal rock and a hard place.
