Hey man, sweet podcast. I like that the whole episode was themed– really cool.
I’m in a band called Swansaw and we’ve got an album we’d like you to check out. You can download it free at http://www.flightandfalling.com .
Enjoy!

Just started listening and I have to say this is an excellent podcast.
I look forward to working my way through your archives.
I don’t know if you’re interested, by my label has a new free release.
It can be had here: http://mamrecords.com/download/mam100-fourteen-twentysix-lighttown-closure/
We’ve got tons of other free stuff there.
Keep up the great work,
John
Hello
Was just reading about your site – great to see someone supporting the post rock scene. I appreciate you must get a lot of music submissions.
I’m Matt Stevens and and I have a new album out on the 1st June. I do instrumental acoustic guitar post rock soundtrack type stuff. I wondered if you would consider having a listen and maybe doing a review. I also play in a band called the Fierce and the Dead. I make all my music available as a pay what you want download.
This is the link to download my album which includes artwork.(free)

Other people have said:
“A solo album that I can only describe as magnificent. So inspired, anything thus guy touches is genius, from guitar to bass to… mellotron? Oh yes, you know you want this.” http://veinsdriedout.blogspot.com/2010/05/matt-stevens-ghost.html
“Very cool. Almost like Robert Fripp and Tom Verlaine got together for a jam” Telegenises
Press for the first album:
“Matt Stevens’ Echo takes its audience on an exhilarating and romantic instrumental adventure. Ranging from light and melodic to deep and aggressive, the moods set by this album flow together like a masterfully woven screenplay. Lyrics are not necessary and would only distract from the virtuosity of Stevens’ guitar compositions.” – Pinpoint Music.com
“I told him that if I ever wanted my life set to a soundtrack, I’m hiring HIM “Lisa Hoffman Blog
“Recently, I had an opportunity to interview a guy who is doing some truly innovative work with acoustic guitar. This is hard to find these days. It’s not that often you hear someone that challenges your ear in several pleasant ways all at once. Matt Stevens is a guitarist, songwriter, producer, arranger and sound experimenter extraordinaire from the UK.” Guitarblogstar..com
“Even though that record is a must-buy for anyone with an interest in acoustic Guitar music, his regular online concerts or live performances are just as intoxicating. Let there be no doubt about it, after all: Matt Stevens may have some delicious studio cuts on offer, but the stage is still the best place to appreciate this both experimental and deadly catchy music.”Tokafi.com
“He is fabulous. He has also been renamed Javier in my head because of the way he plays guitar – please check this one out, it’s pay what you want until the end of February and is very highly recommended! “Put Me On It

I hope you enjoy it.
Speak soon

Hi,
Been enjoying your podcasts a lot lately. Just had one suggestion if possible. Could you provide a RSS feed for your podcast entries so I could get them on my phone’s podcast client? I’m not an iTunes user so it’s hard for me to get your episodes on the go any other way. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Hey man,
I have just released my first full length titled “This Life Changing Decision Will Change Your Life” and was hoping you could feature any of the tracks on it on your podcast. The album is available as a free download at http://piearesquared.bandcamp.com
Thanks,
Mohammed
Just a thought, to enhance and improve the podcast. If you will notice, farpastpost has a podcast also, and I had recommended this to them a while ago, and they implemented it with great success. Try to break up your tracks so you can just go directly to a song within the podcast and not have to scroll. It also allows you to name the track so that people can get familiar with the artists who created each piece of music.
Just a thought! Keep up the good work!

Steve Molter smells, ymditd rules.

Great to see a fan of Alexey Titarenko aaand great music. 🙂
Please stop saying “Welcome back” after you play a block of songs. *We* didn’t go anywhere…. you did! Otherwise, cool show.
Sorry buddy, gonna keep doing it. 😉

Hello!
We’re a band from Caracas-Venezuela and we make indie/post-rock.
A year ago we released our album, and it has reached places that we will never imagine thanks to the web. One of the benefits of this, is that at the beginning of this year we’ve re-released the album under the South Korean label Onion Music.
We just wanna share our music with you, hoping you’ll enjoy it!
Here’s the link to the album on Bandcamp

Dear friends,
I’d like to recommend you a 4-piece, experimental, instrumental post-rock band from Malaga, Spain, who are presenting their 12-song debut album on November 22 in their hometown. Autoficción (Spanish for ‘Self-fiction’) will be released by record company Itaca in both LP and CD.
You can have a look at Kermit’s full-concert HD video in a local radio-station that was filmed and recorded by university students as their final-year project at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzGKAXoD-vs.
Kermit’s musical influences include the names of Slint, Radiohead, Afghan Whigs, At The Drive-In, Refused, Tortoise, Manta Ray, Portishead, Toe, Shiner, Sonic Youth, Liars, Mogwai, Karate, Burning Airlines, The Cinematic Orchestra, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, etc., yet its influences also cover other fields such as literature, films, graphic art & design, etc.
“[…] this post-rock band from Malaga is fond of extensive crescendos, tiny twisting noises, sound landscapes, Martian guitar sounds and, above all, tastefulness. That’s Kermit. The notes played by their guitars travel through different sound machines that mould them to create pure sound landscapes: intertwining pictures of the Caribbean and the Antarctica seen through a looking glass. You watch these pictures while the breeze caresses your feet. It’s the bass and the drums that set the beat of the pieces. I know that the term ‘pieces’ is somewhat pretentious, but… if there is no singer, how are we going to call them ‘songs’? Kermit is elegant, very elegant […]” Review by Miguel A. García Otarola @ Modernícolas.
Cheers,
Paco.
Last two podcasts (172 & 173) were absolutely brilliant – the best since the post rock band editions.
Do you do requests? Matador by Brontide, Panther Party by Truckers of Husk and Sketch for Summer by Durutti Column please.
Perhaps you could fashion a best of British episode…
I love your podcast so much that I keep listening on my way to work regularly.
Hello,
We would like to introduce ourselves. We are Immovable Objects. Bellow is all the basic information about the band. The most important part is the music. There are no words or voices on the record. Following in suit, our e-mail and bio are to the point and empty of verse and prose. If you are interested and like the record please review the record or post on your blog.
Thank you
I/O
Band Name: Immovable Objects
Album Name: I’ll Know To Believe In Sparrows
Copyright Matthew Gagin 2012
Purchase: Ihttps://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ill-know-to-believe-in-sparrows/id533255680 http://www.cdbaby.com/artist/ImmovableObjects
Tracks: All if possible but if you must pick one use From Bondage to Spiritual Faith since it is first one on the record.
BIO:
Immovable Objects started out as the performance and recording name for San Diego-based multi-instrumentalist Matt Gagin. After spending five years with local band Waterline Drift, Gagin says he “…wanted to do something where I played a lot of different instruments and creativity wasn’t stifled by preconception or personality conflicts.” His first record, “Hoping It Stays Just This Broken” incorporated elements of indie rock, shoegaze and electronica into dense soundscapes. “I had no intention of really making a record, I was just going to record when I felt like it and see what was coming out. If I liked it, cool, if not, then I didn’t. I was really just making music for the sake of making music.”
For the follow-up record, Gagin decided to put together a live band that could play relentless instrumental rock, then capture that energy and emotion on tape. Enlisting the efforts of Paul Balmer (guitar), Brad Botbyl (guitar), Ted Donovon (drums) and fellow Waterline Drift alumnus Tim Peacock (bass), the quintet’s sound has been compared to God Speed You Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, Mum, Sigur Ros, Panda Bear and Her Space Holiday.
After recording through the early months of 2012 at Black Box Studios with Mario Quintero, the new album, “I’ll Know to Believe in Sparrows”, was released in June 2012 on Hawnyawk Records and is currently in the process for Australian distribution. Says Gagin, “I’ve read on record label websites that you should include your successes in your bio. The only true success we have is recording music that we like and not compromising it. So, if nothing else we have that.”
Matt has recently moved to Australia and is currently living in Perth but will return to the U.S. for a tour this April.

Hi there, we’re Grelling, a new band from Norwich/London.
We play a mix of instrumental post rock, with a lot of ambience, soundscapes and influence from classical, blues, jazz, rock and everything in-between.
We were wondering if you’d be interested in promoting our work on your pages, if that is something that appeals to you.
Our first EP ‘Toska’ was recorded at The Premises, London and the links to the stream/download are on our Soundcloud and Bandcamp at the bottom of this message, as well as other links.
If you’d be interested in sorting something out or have any feedback, that would be great.
Thanks for your time
Grelling

Nice podcast mate. Only one downside – I’ve subscribed via iTunes but don’t get the lovely pictures to go with the mixes????
This is true. Most of the time I forget to set the image of the file. Sorry about that. Glad you like the non-existant images though!
love your podcast, really miss your introductions and thoughts.
Hey,
really nice podcast! I’m in a space/post-rock band from Sydney, Australia. Would be an honour to be included in your podcasts sometime.

Cheers!
I just stumbled upon your podcast, great job!!!
Here’s what I do
Hello friends!
Lana Lee is a three-piece instrumental band from Zaragoza, Spain which has a distinctive and quite melodic style. Among the diverse influences, it’s possible to find a psychedelic rock vibe with some progressive passages and “post-rock” traces.
We are very pleased to announce that we have just released our newest, and self-titled EP. It’s our fourth studio recording (and our second fully instrumental work since 2012).
You can listen to it and download at:
http://lanalee.bandcamp.com/album/lana-lee
Also available for streaming at our official Soundcloud page:
Thank you very much for sharing.
Best regards!

Your podcast changed my life.
I know you host mixes here on the blog. but why are only the last fourteen available on iTunes?
Also, do you sell merch? (Please say yes)
I desperately need a hoodie, maybe a hat…
Anyway, hope you continue this service the upcoming year.
Thanks from Canadian ears.
Hey, glad you’re enjoying the show.
Basically, only the episodes that are on the front page are on iTunes. I never got around to configuring it otherwise. But you can listen to all the older episodes on mixcloud and/or download them from archive.org.
There is no merch, sorry. We thought about making shirts once, but that never happened.
I’ll try to always keep making episodes, but they are quite a bit fewer and further in between these days.
Hi,
I’m sure you’re inundated with music but, I’ll add one more to the list if it’s all the same.
http://guilford.bandcamp.com/track/wolves
A link to one song in particular that I have up. Sort of Red House…sort of not.
I hope you’ll take the time to listen and include it (or any others) in your podcast.
I hope all’s well.
Thanks,
Greg
