Has anyone else heard of the post-rock band called Toe from Japan?

My friend showed their music to me recently and I thought it very interesting. I intend to reinvigorate my interest in post-rock - are there any other fans in here of this intriguing genre?

Mellow, melodic, and extremely lovely - thank you so much for sharing it.

Two Moons is actually the song I found first. . Very beautiful in a kind of transcendental way. . I think they kick up the drums just to be lively, but that's okay. :-)

In addition to being melodic in a complex and unusual way, I feel that their songs contain larger "thematic" structures which the individual sections merely suggest. If they feel disorganized at times that's only to be expected, since what they are trying to do is such an immense udertaking with so many moving parts. This is typical of a lot of post-rock; see the video below.
