For anyone with the need to block out the dissonance in their life, there’s no better remedy than this year’s edition of Post Shanghai - a showcase for the rich post-rock scene Shanghai and its neighboring regions contain, twisting itself in new directions, subverting everything we thought we knew about the genre. From hefty and potent experimental instrumental rock outfit An Corporation - not afraid to infuse grandiose sound with an apocalyptic edge; to the evocative, visceral, and emo-inflicted arrangements of Shanghai’s Nerve Passenger; and finally, the poignant, narratively lush arrangements of emerging instrumental rock outfit No. 26 Negative.
