My Education is an Austin based instrumental band that has been working in the post-rock genre for quite a few years now, creating plenty of expansive drones that build up the tension and grows in waves that swell and crash. James Alexander's viola adds a distinctive flavor to their sound. Their pieces typically follow a narrative arc that gradually builds up the tension after setting the mood, and resolves into waves that swell and crash, a cornestone of the genre. There are also other times where they sit on a theme and keep grooving to it. In recent years they also incorporated a prog element where they embellish on their themes and make use of riffs, which especially comes to the front in 2022's EMKA. Their 2010 album Sunrise is a live scoring of the FW Murnau's classic silent film of the same name (1926).
