Canadian post-rock is a genre characterized by its sprawling, atmospheric soundscapes and dynamic instrumental narratives. Emerging in the 1990s, particularly in Montreal, this genre combines elements of post-punk, indie rock, and avant-garde music to create a unique sonic landscape. Typically featuring extended instrumental passages, unconventional song structures, and a mix of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, Canadian post-rock often eschews traditional rock conventions. With a strong focus on texture and mood, the genre frequently incorporates orchestral and chamber music elements, as well as found sounds and field recordings. Notable for its DIY ethos and collaborative spirit, Canadian post-rock has been praised for its innovative and emotive approach to music-making, with many artists pushing the boundaries of traditional rock music.
