Fearless The Making Of Postrock Jeanette Leech by Jeanette Leech instant download after payment.

In 1994, the music critic Simon Reynolds coined a new term: post-rock.
It was an attempt to give a narrative to music that used the tools of
rock but did something utterly different with it, broadening its scope
by fusing elements of punk, dub, electronic music, minimalism, & more
into something wholly new.

Post-rock is an anti-genre, impossible to fence in. Elevating texture
over riff & ambiance over traditional rock hierarchies, its exponents
used ideas of space & deconstruction to create music of enormous
power. From Slint to Talk Talk, Bark Psychosis to Godspeed You! Black
Emperor, Tortoise to Fridge, Mogwai to Sigur Rós, the pioneers of
post-rock are unified by an open-minded ambition that has proven hugely
influential on everything from mainstream rock records to Hollywood
soundtracks & beyond.

Drawing on dozens of new interviews & packed full of stories never before told, fearless.
explores how the strands of post-rock entwined, frayed, & created one
of the most diverse bodies of music ever to huddle under one name.
