math rock

Inspired by Sputnikmusic’s Math Rock Genre report I’ve selected a few math/instrumental rock tracks both old and new. Adebisi Shank, DD/MM/YYYY, The Dragon Rapide (RIP), Cheval de Frise, Mudy on the Sakuban

Checked through Sick Room’s audio page chock full of goodies from the 50+ albums in their back catalogue which spans across math/noise/indie rock and pop. This Chicago label who’s released Sleepytime Gorilla Museum & Cheval de Frise and Hella in the past surely deserves more love for their future projects.

Here’s the last part, from now on new music!!
05 A Hawk and a Hacksaw and the Hun Hangár Ensemble – Self Titled
04 High on Fire – Death Is This Communion
03 Upsilon Acrux – Galapagos Momentum
02 Marnie Stern – In Advance of the Broken Arm
01 Future of the Left – Curses

15 Battles – Mirrored (Warp Records) : Everybody’s been talking about “Mirrored” this year, and they kind of deserve it for getting their oddtimed dissonant music to find strange acclaim from mainstream circles as well as mathheads.
14 Deejay OM – Reheated Naan and Curry (Galapagos4) : A fine hybrid of Indian samples mixed with beats. Somehow liked it much more than Madlib’s take. Past

Today is the day for unconventional indie bandnames!
Sorry No Ferrari’s The Get Down Syndrome is instrumental math-rock with complex riffs & sign changes, just the way we like our rock (and our math!). They’re a relatively young band from the USA (where else?) and these 2 songs are from their second EP released on StickFigure Distro, you can get this 5 tracker for $4.
