Damn Robot! - This Things I Believe (Can We Accept That?) [post-rock]

Among the many efforts aimed at raising awareness and financial support for the devastating tsunami that hit Japan back in 2011 as well as the ensuing nuclear woes that followed promptly at Fukushima, there was Hope For Japan, a 4-disc compilation album featuring music primarily of the post-rock and ambient varieties.

The apparent success of this effort led to a second compilation album released a few months later entitled More Hope For Japan, which was similar to its predecessor both in style and disc-length. Both these compilations are still available at their respective sites (here for Hope For Japan and here for More Hope For Japan) and I'd like to believe that funds are still going to relief efforts, though I haven't read anything to confirm this.

Here's one song from the second compilation that I've been listening quite a bit recently: "This Things I Believe (Can We Accept That?)" by Damn Robot! (label's Bandcamp here). The duo itself consists of brothers Rob and Tom Honey, who have been separately involved in other projects such as Oceanus and Good Weather For An Airstrike.  This song can also be found on Damn Robot!'s 2012 album Jasurp.
