New Instrumental Post-Rock from Nanaki and CARBs

Isle of Man rockers Postcode were featured in a recent CNQ post. Postcode guitarist Mikie Daugherty also has an instrumental post-rock project called Nanaki, and released an EP under that moniker called Afterlight on bandcamp this past January. The mp3s on bandcamp are pay what thou wilt; on the bandcamp site you can also order a limited edition handmade and stenciled CDR, featuring inserts, a cover by Leeds-based artist Grace Turner, and 6 tracks not featured on the download-only release.

Daughterty knows what he's doing here. Give "Afterlife" a listen for sure. Here's the first song off the EP:

Speaking of righteous instrumental post-rock, here's my buddy Chris Wilson's bedroom project CARBs with a meditative new track:

CNQ Submission Guidelines

All submissions considered, as long as the guidelines presented below are followed.
E-mail your rad tunes to: submissions (at) clean nice quiet (dot) (com).
In the body of the e-mail, please include a publicly available Bandcamp, Soundcloud, or Youtube link. If the link is not in the body of the e-mail, odds get low that I listen to it.
Bonus points if your EPK is in a link or separate file, and not in the body of the e-mail.
I may or may not get back to you, but feel free to reach out again with another release, or even the same release some time later, as I may have missed it the first time.
Spamming CNQ every day is inadvisable. In ten years I've never had an artist do this, only promoters. And it's a turn off, man.
