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:

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:

It's one of the better songs on the album for sure.

This new Tera Melos album :swoon: 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.

Yeah these songs are pretty hit or miss but there's some great ones on here for sure.

And yes, if you get the chance to see them live don't miss it. 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.

Just a friendly reminder that Keelhaul is still one of the best things to be found in this thread:

Fea Jur is incredible and a far cry from anything they'd done before. Not sure if you're familiar with Exivious, but you'd probably like them a lot!

Thanks to your post I am working my way through this Youtube playlist http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF51CD3417075D828

drat I missed this post back when you posted it originally. Just wanted to say this is loving awesome! I find that a lot of "mathy" bands have a tough time getting the right balance between rhythmic complexity and interesting melodies, but this band has no trouble staying in the sweet spot all the way through.

Listened to this the other day. It was certainly interesting, but it didn't scratch the same itch for me that Pink Magick did.

I'd never really listened to any math rock before until about half an hour ago when I listened to the Tero Melos track in the OP. Then I listened to the whole album Drugs to the Dear Youth and it was loving amazing. That's my story so far.

Which Tera Melos album do I listen to know?

Thanks for mentioning this, I went to check which song I put in the OP and I noticed there were a few broken links, so I fixed them.

So apparently there's a math/noise/post rock festival happening in Bristol and I've never wished I lived in the UK more. Any of you out there close enough to go to this? http://www.arctangent.co.uk/

Just stumbled on some proper fuckin' math rock. Anyone who likes those cleaner sounding bands like This Town Needs Guns and Minus The Bear should enjoy these guys.

They're called Invalids, here's their bandcamp:

These guys share a jamspace with my cousin's band and they just got signed to a label good for them!

Cinemechanica just released a new album after 10 years of nothing, and it's really good! Definitely on the heavier side. It was even mixed by Converge's Kurt Ballou, so the production is pretty high quality too.

I enjoyed this a lot, thanks!

I've had some success putting a bunch of my favorite tracks into a playlist in Spotify and then letting it play a radio based off those tracks. Probably won't give you instrumental only stuff though. You can skip tracks infinitely if you have premium though which is nice.

Cinemechanica remixed and remastered their first LP and it sounds a lot better now that everything isn't so dry (guitars especially). Y'all can listen to the new version on their bandcamp https://cinemechanica.bandcamp.com/
