About
Post Prandials is an experimental noise and dark ambient project active from the 1980s through the 1990s, operating within underground and alternative music circuits. The project's discography spans a decade of creative output, beginning with the cassette release Learning by Osmosis in 1987, which established their foundation in abstract, textural soundscapes. Later releases including Douch Ex Machina (1996) on EE Tapes and Chapters (1997) on F.D.R. Tapes demonstrate continued evolution within experimental and noise aesthetics. Working primarily in the cassette format, Post Prandials exemplified the DIY ethos characteristic of underground noise and industrial music communities, where tape-based distribution facilitated direct artist-to-listener connections. The project's output reflects broader trends in 1990s experimental music, emphasizing process-oriented composition and sonic texture over conventional song structure. Post Prandials' contributions remain relevant within archival histories of independent noise and dark ambient music from this period.
