i'm not familiar with the genre enough to give any recommends. in fact i've only heard of GY!BE, swans and mogwai before and haven't even dipped my toes into mogwai, so thanks for the incidental shoutouts?

out of those bands, which albums from them would you recommend? (fwiw i'm at least familiar enough with god's pee and swans' catalog to have a backlog for them)

Post-rock is less of a genre and more of an ethos like punk. Each band sounds different in their own very distinct ways. Just letting you know.

Mogwai - Young Team
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Slint - Spiderland
Sigur Rós - Ágætis Byrjun
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place
Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms...

Personally not the biggest fan of the last two but you be your own judge.
