10 Great Obscure Post-Rock Bands

10. Our Ceasing Voice

Austrian ambient/post-rock outfit Our Ceasing Voice formed in 2006 amidst the Tyrolean Alps, in the city of Innsbruck. Nestling in a broad valley between majestically soaring mountains, Innsbruck, noted for its winter sports activities, perfectly reflects this band's towering, glacial compositions.

A dark and wistful melodic sensibility permeates this group's music, which soars to some impressively mighty peaks, not least thanks to the prowess of lead singer Dominik Dörfler, whose deeply affecting vocals can't help but remind you of Crash Test Dummies' Brad Roberts. Dörfler's delivery seems to reach down toward the granite roots of the mountains, rumbling and roaring with naked emotion.

Sebastian Obermeir (guitars, synths) and Markus Rappold (drums) round out this remarkable trio. From their own official bio: "Austrian ambient rockers, Our Ceasing Voice, have always thrived on change. At the heart of their new sound are vocals as distinctive as the music itself: dark and poetic, dramatic and brave."

You can find their latest album, Free Like Tonight, on Bandcamp, and what a wonderful listen it is.
