Cleanup

Wherever Your Place May Be (2012)
 Bandcamp

Experimental Rock from Texas. They're only asking fifty cents for this five song release.

The Exploration

Demography (2013)
Bandcamp

There's something I really like about this, maybe it's the slow steady progression and the tapping, or maybe it's the washed out vocals. More likely that it's both though, and hey, they're from Grand Rapids. I'm definitely going to take some inspiration from the guitar parts. 

The Bulletproof Tiger

Stab the New Cherry EP (2009)
Download
Bandcamp 

The first release by, in my opinion, one of the greatest math rock bands to come into the scene. Incredible music that will never let you down for even a moment's rest. You should definitely listen to their newest release, You Wanna Kiss About It? I thought I had posted about them a long time ago but looking back I see that I have not!

This Town Needs Guns

13.0.0.0.0 (2013)
Bandcamp 

The well renowned  math rock band from Oxford, England plan to release their newest album on January 22nd, 2013. Anticipation for the album within the math rock community is at an all time high. Two songs are available to listen to right now, but the rest are still a mystery. This Town Needs Gun's previous vocalist really gave the band their unique sound, and many fans were concerned when he left the band at the end of their last EP. With the release of the new album's two songs, entitled "Cat Fantastic"  and "Left Aligned", most of the concern has ceased, and the newest member and vocalist to the band, Henry Tremain, is being welcomed with open arms. His voice and style fits right along with TTNG's classic feeling. This new album is currently my most anticipated of 2013.

Alkali Lake

House of Cards (2012)
Bandcamp 

Alkali Lake is a five piece group from Düsseldorf playing their own style of atmospheric post rock with a screamo mix. They have been compared to bands such as At the Drive In and they have released this five track album for a name your price option.

Animal Collective

Centipede Hz (2012)
Descargar  

Hell yeah! New Animal Collective, I had no idea. Get it while it's hot.

Eleanor Quigley

The Captain Chair (2012)
Soundcloud 

Eleanor Quigley is a local East Lansing, MI two piece band. Both of the band members are good friends of mine so if you would take a look at their new EP and show them some love that would be awesome. Mostly math rock with a couple of metal/grindcore tracks at the end.

Pastoral

Pastoral (2012)
Bandcamp 

Finally some piece of mind, math influence without so much misleading chaos. Lots of acoustic fingerstyle picking. Posting this early in the morning and it's pretty hot out. I think I may have to soak in some sun and some smoke while listening to this album. 

Weye

Friends, Family, and Others (2010)
Bandcamp 

You'll never know what's coming next with this band, completely unpredictable. This is why I love math rock. Weye pulls lots of inspiration from  Piglet and Pelican. Free download at their bandcamp page.

New Arrival EP (2010)

From the band's Bandcamp page, "Wot Gorilla? are a four piece band from Halifax brandishing freshly stitched math rock with pleasing soft breakdowns intertwined."   
They're have some really impressive songs I'd recommend checking it out, and hey, free download.

The band that has inspired countless talented artists of the 21st century is now BACK after an 11 year hiatus. At the Drive-In has announced their return and have announced two shows that they will be playing in the Spring. Sounds highly likely that the band will also write some new material, but nothing is official yet. The band tweeted that, "This Station Is Now Operational", so keep up with the band's news if you're a fan of this band! In celebration, here are the band's albums and the Vaya EP.

Underwater Tell Each Other Secrets (2011)

This band is great and they need to get discovered and get the recognition they deserve. I would highly suggest checking out the Red and Blue Version's to start. Blue Version is my favorite, incredible mathy guitar work under the lead singers unique voice and singing style. Check them out!

Creative, rule breaking, avant-garde music. Each album is different and holds something unique. Animal Collective can be hard to get into, so first time listeners should check out Strawberry Jam, Feels, and Merriweather Post Pavilion.

First (2010)

Mediafire 

Featuring the former members of the band Colour, I am happy to hear a similar sound. Alan Welsh voice certainly adds a finishing touch to the rhythmic patterns and riffs known to the math rock genre.
