Biography
Richmond, Virginia, United States (1992 – present)
Labradford consists of bassist Robert Donne, guitarist/vocalist Mark Nelson, and Carter Brown on keyboards. Their music style is ambient post-rock, although their earlier releases such as “Prazision” and “A Stable Reference” were much more related to 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.

My god, when their albums were being released, back in 95-96, I used to dismiss them as excessingly underground. Hey, i could afford a couple of cds per month only..

Because when post-rock was defined (at the start of the 90s), it had a much broader definition, even including bands like Stereolab and Seefeel. It was about bands that used rock instrumentarium for non-rock purposes.

it depends on the album but post rock is a fine tag. ambient as well but i don't think drone fits very well.

Why is drone/ambient music called "Post-Rock" nowadays?

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.

how did you get from poeq to poqek? and mono is not good at all. liars is ok, but they're so entry level compared to labradford.

Nothing wrong with Liars or Mono poqek but Labradford is obviously better than Starbucks music
