Wild Light (2013)

New 65daysofstatic up for grabs, might actually see this band play this Friday. I remember the first time I heard The Fall of Math, such an apocalyptic sound.

Dinner

And...Hearing Things (2009)
FileFactory

Dinner is a math/post rock band from Yamagata, Japan. This album was released in 2009. I have only listened to a few songs but I really like what I have heard so far. Give them a listen!

Shy Guy Says

Sucraphrenia (2011)

Bandcamp

For those of you still listening...

"Centered in Illinois, we've been playing music across the midwest since 2008. We like to throw ourselves in the "undefinable" genre category, although we've certainly been influenced by the region's historic DIY scene, as well as a long list of post-rock, shoegaze, ambient, and math-rock bands."

Town Portal

Chronopoly (2012)
Bandcamp 

Math metal from the earliest stages of the Earth. Beauty amongst molten rock, shifting plates, and violent storms. This Copenhagen instrumental band chose to title their album Chronopoly. I would have to agree that it does quite dominate all of the chron. Heavy, melodic, progressive, math metal, GET IT.

Enemies

Embark, Embrace (2013)
Bandcamp 

Ireland's Enemies released their newest album yesterday May 10th, 2013. I haven't given it a full and proper listen yet but I'm sure it's worth a purchase. Check out their older tunes as well!

Giraffes? Giraffes!

10" (2013) 
Bandcamp 

Helly yes, new Giraffes? Giraffes!. Really can't go wrong here. First song has a crazy title, "In The Middle Of The Night Someone Tore Off The Ceiling And Sucked Me Into The Sky / Before My Eyes Began To Boil I Saw Billions Of Tiny Webs Connecting Everything"

Math for the masses.

100%Chevalier

EP-IC (2013)
Bandcamp 

Spacey instrumental math/post rock from Strasbourg, France. They remind me a lot of Maserati with the occasional quirkiness of Battles.

Hail the Sun

Elephantitis (2012)
Bandcamp 

A strange mixture of Dance Gavin Dance style guitars, Circa Survive/HRVRD style singing, and post-hardcore drumming. The vocals are great, my only complaint is that the lyrical content could have been a bit better, but the instrumentals are spot on.

Piles and Piles

Premonitions Say (2013)
Bandcamp 

Wendell Rellimfarg

Archimedean Property (Single, 2012)
Soundcloud

Give this song a listen, local Lansing, Michigan artist Wendell Rellimfarg. This dude happens to be a good friend of mine, this is his solo side project. He is also the drummer in Eleanor Quigley. Jeremy man your music is an inspiration, keep writing.

Ninetails

Ghost Ride the Whip (2011)
Bandcamp 

Naomi

Naomi (2012)
Bandcamp

This is Naomi's debut release. They have a downtempo relaxed feeling, perfect for waking up to in the morning. Give them a listen, the fox is pretty cool too.

An Aesthetic Anaesthetic

Names (2012)
Bandcamp 

This is the sophomore album of a killer Chicago four piece band. This is one of the better math rock oriented bands I've come across in awhile. They blend the best parts of rock, metal, and jazz to create their own genre they call ghost rock. They have a fast paced in your face style, leading to heavy builds and melodic breakdowns. I would highly recommend this four song album. The first song clocks just over six minutes and the last reaches sixteen. Ingest the anaesthetic.

Zechs Marquise

Getting Paid (2011)
Download 

 Three members of this band are brothers to Omar Rodriquez-Lopez, frontman to acts such as The Mars Volta, At the Drive In, and El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriquez Lopez. Instrumental progressive metal with jazz and Latin infusions. This band is stretching the borders of music, but I wouldn't expect less from the Rodriquez-Lopez family. I can't leave out Michael Farraro on the drums and Matthew Wilkson on guitar.

Loose Lips Sink Ships

Pupent (2008)

The Contemporary Issues of Celibacy EP (2008)

Bandcamp 

I've seen this band name floating around so many times it's a wonder I haven't gotten around to actually listening to them until now. 

 

Maserati

Maserati VII (2012)
Download

I haven't heard anything new from Maserati in awhile and so I got pretty excited when I found this. The album was released October 2nd, 2012 and is the fifth full length from the band.

The Mosaic

The Mosaic (2012)
Bandcamp

Meet The Mosaic, a five piece post-rock/post-hardcore band from the state of New York. Their three song EP is up on bandcamp at a name your price option.
