So, there's pigeon hole for ye in the title!!
The only band I came across who could possibly fit into this category would be a band called "Balmorhea". Any other suggestions or recommendations?

Whats different about them over bands like Mogawi and Leech who are Post Rock?

Peter Brodreick would be the closest thing to Balmorhea that I can think of.

Maybe check out the Young Mountain EP from This Will Destroy You, there was some acoustic post rock on it, but also some non acoustic.

Rate this will destroy you a lot..but are they post rock as well??
I consider them a bit more electronic in the royskopp mould.
I guess its getting impossible to classify music according to genres these days and thats no harm.

James Blackshaw...

I'm not sure if he can be classified as ambient or post-rock, but he makes beautiful music which isn't a million miles from the Balmorhea songs I checked out...also check out our own Cian Nugent who supported Blackshaw at his recent Dublin show...very impressive musician too...

Then if you like them, there's a world of amazing guitarists to explore next...John Fahey, Leo Kottke......
