I've been a huge fan of Sigur Ros and similar bands since I've been introduced to it right here on TFP! (Does this place rock, or what?)
If you enjoyed (), you should also grab Ágætis Byrjun. It sounds different from (), in a good way, and contains real actual lyrics.
Other bands you might like are: MÚM (sweeter, like the first half of (), more use of digital effects, more upbeat), Godspeed You! Black Emperor (darker, more brooding than Sigur Ros, political), Mogwai (closer to rock), Explosions in the Sky (darker and more brooding, like GY!BE), Do Make Say Think (they've got a sax!)
I believe the genre is called "Post-Rock".
