Spacey Post Rock?

[DXL]

I'm looking for stuff like God Is An Astronaut: post rock with a heavy reliance on synths. Anyone got anything?

Rosetta.

Rosetta.

Nah Rosetta's way too heavy for what I'm looking for, unless they have some lighter stuff with clean/no vocals that I've never heard.

 

[Datura]

They do have some clean vocal songs but those aren't the good ones

Any GY!BE is amazing if you have the patience for it. Not sure if that is exactly what you want, but its definitely worth checking out. Amazing artists, the lot of them.

Ah! This I can help with!
I'll think of more later.

EiTS don't really use synths very much, if at all. They have a very layered atmosphere, but I'm 99% sure it's still all guitar or bass stuff.

If you want heavy synth stuff why not check out ambient/drone stuff like Brian Eno, or Stars of the Lid, etc?

Caspian.
Good Weather for an airstrike.

I already listen to a lot of ambient (Stellardrone, Geotic, Hammock) but it doesn't really have that much going on which is what I'm looking for (aka the edge that GIAA gives off). I realize I'm being kind of specific but I'm looking for that perfect in between: ambient synths with post rock edge. Like if EiTS had synths

I'm not sure about the amount of synth in it, but maybe Mogwai? They seem relatively close to GIAA in style, and they're a phenomenal post rock band regardless.

How about something that's heavier on the synth/electronic side, but with post rock influences:

Lights Out Asia



Port-royal



Bitcrush



Dreissk



All of them are on n5MD label, so if you dig this stuff, check out the rest of the roster:

Already love Mogwai and so far seems like the closest thing to GIAA that I have found. Also this one song by There's a Light which is also a great example of what I'm looking for. Especially starting at 2:30

 

[Electric Wizard]

Maserati might interest you. They're not quite as ambient as what you posted, depending on the album, but have similar appeal IMO.

Tides From Nebula and Jakob are unrivaled when it comes to taking you into space and punching you in the head when they get you there.

If these tress could talk? No synths though...

This is great, thank you!

This is great, thank you!

The whole channel is worth perusing. There are some gems here and there.

Synth-based post rock? Surely this thread is tailor-made for an M83 recommendation!
