I'm new to the genre. What are some good bands? I basically just know of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
You should try Mono. Also Peace Burial at Sea, they are awesome, although not very popular.
65daysofstatic is wonderful

Second.
My Bloody Valentine is neither of those genres, but still similar and Loveless is a God Tier album.
Lights Out Asia

Giant Squid. One of my favorite bands ever.
Hacia dos veranos, Argentinian band.
Maybe, you can try with some Icelandic guys, like Sigur Ros, for example.
Don't forget the founders.
Check out Talk Talk, Slint, Tortoise and Cerberus Shoal.
Only second-wave band that really compares to their genius is GY!BE
I like Toe... but i don't know if it's post-rock properly speaking
Sonic Boom Radio

They are participating in the compilation album put on the market from the label of Nebraska by the Indy rock band of Japan.
Band: Isis
Album: In the Absence of Truth
Listen to some chiptunes, faggots.
To get you started I recommend Phlogiston and Norrin Radd.

You can go wash your jism-soaked underwear and thank me later.

MBV was not, is not post rock in any way. They're shoegaze. Sure a lot of shoegaze bands have post rock elements in them and vice versa, but MBV is not one of these bands.
65dos is good. So are toe, Sigur Ros is good as well, but they're not exactly instrumental.
Tortoise is really good, as well. Explosions in the Sky, Russian Circles, Red Sparrowes.
