Arcade Fire

Purify the colors, purify my mind, and spread the ashes of the colors over this heart of mine.

Okay, this may not be a post-rock album, but a fan of post-rock should dig it for the orchestral instrumentation and classical influences. It would act as very good gateway-album into the world of post-rock for those who are inclined towards indie rock.

Funeral is Arcade Fire's first full length album. As the title would suggest, the songs are mostly about death, but they approach the subject in an optimistic fashion rather than sounding glooming and depressive. The album has a strong instrumental focus with a lot of emphasis on strings.
