New Mexican Stargazers
Post-noise is a 21st century music genre and scene related to hypnagogic pop, new-age and hauntology. The term was featured in writer David Keenan's 2009 article Childhood's End in issue 306 of the British music magazine The Wire where he coined the term hypnagogic pop, describing it as a "questing post-Noise network that worships New Age music and uses half-remembered hits as portals to the subconscious". Music critic Simon Reynolds referred to "glo-fi" as a post-noise microscene.
The style mostly propagated on the Internet, primarily through tape trading. Reynolds credited the Skaters, a group formed by James Ferraro and Spencer Clark in 2004, with catalyzing an "international post-noise network". Other associated artists included Oneohtrix Point Never, Pocahaunted, Laurel Halo, Sun Araw, Yellow Swans, Stellar Om Source, Dolphins into the Future, Xiphiidae and Emeralds. Ferraro released work through CD-R and cassette on his self-owned independent record labels New Age Tapes and Muscleworks Inc. Musical styles such as neo-kosmische, nu-new age, chillwave and vaporwave have been associated with the post-noise scene.
