So I’m a total sucker for post-rock. (I’ve been listening obsessively to Mogwai’s Mr. Beast for months now.) Anything that sounds like Brian Eno and My Bloody Valentine thrown in a blender will always pretty much get my Evinrude cranking.

Austin’s The Calm Blue Sea make big, epic anthemic songs that sound like the soundtrack to a Michael Mann film. (In point of fact, Mann used Mogwai’s “Auto Rock” all over Miami Vice.) Their work reminds me a lot of the Apollo: Atmospheres And Soundtracks Eno did with Daniel Lanois back in the day. Good music for driving through the desert.
