Sajjanu

Pechiku!! (2009)
Mediafire

More Japanese math rock! From the band's Last.fm page:

"Sajjanu is a ripping new unit from Tokyo that performs incredibly complex through-composed compositions with few if any repetition. Performed with an intensity and power that is absolutely staggering, this trio of two guitars and drums sounds like a full orchestra and is one of the most exciting young bands in Japan today."

Nuito

Unutella (2008)
Mediafire 

From Last.fm:
     "Nuito are an experimental math rock/post-rock trio who formed in Kyoto, Japan in 2004. Their music is defined by tapping guitars, slap bass and spastic drums. Nuito rapidly changes time signatures and insert new melodies in the middle of their songs, creating a very unique sound. Their experimental attitude is not about musical destruction or collaboration, but reconstruction."

Meet Rega, a four piece jam band from Japan. Lots of math rock influence but they pull inspiration from techno, IDM, and breakbeat. This is my ideal party music, but too bad no one else would be able to stand it! They remind me of LITE in a lot of ways. It looks as if a new album is scheduled to come out sometime this year as well, entitled Soft and Plum. I'll be on the lookout for it, but until then you should listen to both these albums and show your support for this amazing music scene.

Time for a Japanese math rock dump. Mouse on the Keys is a Tokyo based three piece instrumental band. They fuse jazz elements with math rock style. Incredible piano layers over swift drumming leaves the songs swelling with energy. Check it out!

 Hmmm I somehow just discovered that David Davison of Maps and Atlases has his own solo EP out. Using the singer/songwriter approach, David writes 6 songs just under the 3 minute mark. Artistic, catchy, and sung by the beautiful voice of David himself, what's not to like?
