Speaking of Hella, something I always liked was the Hella Acoustics album, here: http://hella.bandcamp.com/album/hella-acoustics-ep I really like these versions of the songs for whatever reason. I have pretty much never been able to listen to Minus the Bear. They're pretty much the epitome of people who took American Don and made the most boring music ever out of it. Which just reminds me of this band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRBZ3K9GDDU Because their (former) guitar player (also from the band Breadwinner who are a classic proto-math band) has this badass interview where he says: quote:My friends and I have this game: if you had a time machine, which band would you go back and kill to stop all the band music [that followed]? Slint comes up a lot. Everybody who mentions it says, "I love Slint, but..."" [...] Slint was awesome! Slint kicked. When [Brian McMahan] goes, "And I'm sorry/And I miss you" [on Spiderland's "Good Morning, Captain"], that's heavy! That poo poo was loving heavy! But did it ruin indie music? Yes! I can't think of a good example of who it created, but Slint's a good one to kill. You should kill them because they're so influential. I feel about the same way about Ian Williams. (That interview is amazing in general actually, read it here and listen to Loincloth and Breadwinner if you're in this thread and haven't yet: http://www.chunklet.com/index.cfm?section=article&IssueID=2&ID=37)

Another new Tera Melos track from X'ed Out. http://noisey.vice.com/blog/premiere-tera-melos---sunburn I like it a lot better than the other one, that's for sure.

-Atom- posted:Another new Tera Melos track from X'ed Out. I'm really excited for this new album. While untitled is definitely the classic, Patagonian Rats was great in its own right, and I trust these guys to write consistently good material regardless of style changes. On an unrelated note, I've been listening to a lot of These Arms Are Snakes lately. I'm not sure if they've been mentioned here, but the band included the drummer from Minus The Bear and a couple members of Botch following their breakup. The style is pretty much in line with a lot of post-hardcore, but the group retained Botch's knack for writing songs with really varied and distinctive feels; they don't sound quite like anything else I've heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTm8G82JPyc

I loving love These Arms Are Snakes! I can definitely tell there's a member of botch in there, I think it's the bassist. Here's one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOQmc9A4kcA If you like that then you should definitely pick up their first album "Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home" Oh and I'm digging that other Tera Melos track, can't wait to hear the full album!

So after about five years I finally got into Dillinger Escape Plan. The track "Widower" off Option Paralysis is amazing. I'm looking for similar tracks by other artists... tracks that feature a nice alternation between furious mathy grind and soft jazzy prog. Anything pop to mind? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zew6hGsFNXQ

That description applies to the entirety of Lye By Mistake's first album, Arrangements for Fulminating Vective. After this, the vocalist left and they continued on as an instrumental band (and their second album Fea Jur is a masterpiece of jazz/prog/metal fusion, pretty much sounds like the first 50 seconds of this song for an hour) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=258nrUvoKJc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXfN5J7UDAY edit: track from the second album if you're curious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFQgG-tr93o Optimum Gulps fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Feb 27, 2013 |

The Fall of Troy's album "Manipulator" was pretty jazzy in some songs, though some people find it hard to get into the vocalist. I still think this song kicks all kinds of rear end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBfnjcRLBQE

While we're talking about Jazz influenced stuff, anyone heard of Zu? They consist only of a Saxophonist, Bassist, and Drummer but they sound phenominally evil. There's definitely some noise rock influence in there as well. Check out this track by them if you haven't heard of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbPkBm69FpE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be-tjAWhOv8 This band isn't in any sense "math rock" (and the prominence of the vocal part makes this sort of a nonstandard song of theirs) as much as a postminimalist chamber group but if you like weird abrasive complicated poo poo with rock instrumentation and sax you might like it. This song is about living inside a painting from before perspective was invented. Also they're playing Pittsburgh on Wednesday if anyone is around here. They don't sound like this anymore though as far as I can tell. Here are the lyrics which are only found on the singer's more recent band's Myspace if anyone's interested: quote:Light spread evenly across the scene, all the girls' flesh was equally pale, when you can't tell the supposed position of the sun everything glows the same Also here's something that I guess is more similar to Zu if you're into that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLLNG8smqAc And a funny video of Weasel Walter playing the drum part and telling you that practice makes perfect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7WYVMTb9pQ acephalousuniverse fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Mar 2, 2013 |

I dunno, I'd classify a lot of that as math rock. It certainly belongs in this thread, pretty cool stuff! Thanks for sharing. So, Marnie Stern new album leaked the other day. I've only listened once but I'm not too impressed. I really liked her self titled release, but some parts of this new album just seem a little lackluster. Here's the first track from the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P5MSa8EGKE It's one of the better songs on the album for sure.

I guess every math rock artist goes the way of melodic stuff eventually. Happened with Tera Melos, happening with Marnie. Not necessarily a bad thing, just different.

This new Tera Melos album  It's different and weird but I can't help but really enjoy it. I feel like the songs wouldn't work as well individually, but the album as a whole is very good. Can't wait to go driving to this one. These drums sound like sex.Also, poo poo, I'd really like to see them live again. I saw 'em like 5 years ago when I was unfamiliar with them. They put on a fun show and sounded great, but I feel like I'd appreciate them more now, especially if they're playing some material from this album.

They are so spot on and for a mathrock band as crazy as them it's really impressive to watch. They don't just stand around trying to nail it either, there's definitely a lot of energy to their performance.

These dudes CHON finally threw an EP together: http://chonofficial.bandcamp.com/album/newborn-sun Drummer James Norris from The Bulletproof Tiger and Bob Catford are Junior Bob and you should buy their EP immediately: http://juniorbob.bandcamp.com/album/untitled Members of Loose Lips Sink Ships went on to form Renaissance Sound: http://renaissancesound.bandcamp.com/album/renaissance-sound Jazzy and loving delicious Antarctic's latin-american inspired side project, Tambor: http://tambormusic.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-underbelly if you like samba/bossa nova you will love this. If you like Cinemechanica and Fever Sleeves you'll like Postmadonna: http://postmadonna.bandcamp.com/ Kidcrash is dope-rear end poo poo if you're into a heavier, 'hardcore-ish' sound. The last minute of of the 1st track is so loving sick that I dare you to find something... sicker. http://initrecords.bandcamp.com/album/naps Top 3 albums of 2013 for me right here, "You're Doing Great" by Babar http://teambabar.com/ this is definitely some of the best math-rock you will hear. perfect example of the genre Debut release from Second Greatest Dad Ever: http://secondgreatestdadever.bandcamp.com/album/joy-ride midwest twinkly math; music for hot weather and cold, canned beer AAAAnd of course it's almost the end of July and Pretend hasn't mentioned anything about a release date for their album SIGH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KS_NrEP0cY

smell the witch posted:Go reverse chronological, For All Innocence is much better than Phantasia. Huh, I love LITE and Illuminate and Phantasia have always been my favorite releases. I definitely think For All The Innocence and Installation have more in common, but both of those phases as well as their even earlier stuff is great in its own right. Early stuff for more typical post-rock, middle of their discography for crazy signatures and syncopated, interlocking guitar riffs, and their most recent stuff for more varied instrumentation and sound and a more melodic feel.

Okay, so recent Minus the Bear happenings. They are releasing Acoustics II at some point, which includes 8 classics and two brand new songs. But you can listen to Hooray, which might be one of my favorites off Menos el Oso. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l46ku4oTnNg And since these guys tour more than just about anyone else, they head out in early September going virtually everywhere. Ohh, and Tera Melos is supporting them for the first leg of the tour. And yes, I bought tickets to both the festival they will be playing n Sacramento and for the following day at their own in San Francisco. YAR!

So it's been on a year and this cd is still in constant rotation in my car. Are there any other bands that make music like (ignore the dumb name) you slut! The only way I can describe it is a battle of different songs that someone mesh together perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4kHKXXGCzw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeHuF-u51Oo So many great riffs in their songs.

The band I've always associated most closely with You Slut! has always been Cinemechanica because of their complex dueling guitar lines. They also have vocals, and only two guitarists, but I think there's a good chance you'll find the same kind of appeal there.

As fine an example of math rock as I can think of. Cleanup from Fort Worth, TX http://cleanup.bandcamp.com/ Saw these guys at a math rock-loaded show earlier this year, really drat good.
