Richmond, United States (1992 – present)
Labradford is a post-rock musical group from Richmond, Virginia, founded in 1992. They have released six full albums from 1993 to 2001. Though not officially disbanded, its members have since been active with separate projects.
Labradford consists of bassist Robert Donne, guitarist/vocalist Mark Nelson, and Carter Brown on keyboards. Their music style is experimental ambient / post-rock, although their earlier releases such as Prazision and A Stable Reference were much more related to dark drone rock.
In 1993 they released their debut album on Kranky which has remained their home since. The group’s music mostly drifts on the guitar effects and the keyboard passages, with the vocals, when present, in the background.
In 1999 they started a tour with Godspeed You! Black Emperor and their Festival of Drifting series, which featured appearances from Pole, Matmos, Papa M and Sigur Rós.
Though the group has not officially disbanded, they have not released another album since 2001’s critically acclaimed Fixed::Context, and the band members have apparently moved away from their former base of Richmond, Virginia. Robert Donne has joined the slowcore group Spokane. Mark Nelson continues to release records on Kranky under the name Pan•American.

I've always been into Post-Rock but lately I've been digging into it A LOT more and I absolutely love what I'm hearing from these guys. You can tell the difference between Amateurs and Veterans. These guys are at the top for sure.

@Porterhouse57: you should start with Mi media naranja and next with the self titled album. Cheers.

Pretty lame starbucks ambient

the self titled is nice to start with because it has a mix of both vocal and also purely ambient/instrumental tracks. So you get an idea of the full range of their sound. Prazision LP is similar in that respect.
