Lightning For Legs - Atomics

Two piece UK based experimental sounding math, taking aboard a fair amount of noise rock alongside post rock elements. Pretty rocking except for the end of the last track which turns in to a bit of a ambient type wall o noise.. bar that a pretty sweet three tunes. Atomics

Loqto - 1st Demo

I wonder if this is actually their first demo.. pretty ridiculous if so. Instrumental math rock post rock post hardcore type tunes from this Japanese trio. Fast moving, stupidly technical as you'd expect from a Japanese mathy band, throw in the musical sense to write short and catchy tunes. Good times. Nearly forgot to say this is up for the full free bee on their bndcmp. 1st Demo

Murder In The Red Barn

I don't often do posts on older tunes, but I've done a few on bands connected with hero of a hundred fights, which these are.. Plus these are seriously good in their own right, and also their tunes are fairly hard to come by. So these were about early 2000s era and kinda played a experimental math rock infused with post hardcore and such. Did a bit of searching about and put a file together with everything I could find which consists of a self titled ep, get in before the rain and some unreleased tunes. These are one of those bands really worth getting to know if you didn't already. I would say they were underrated, but I think it's more a case of under listened..  Collected MITRB

Psychojets - Flights

So these are back with a couple new tunes. Good stuff because I enjoyed their last record. Still keeping with the busy and interesting kind of post rock. Sadly looks like this one will be their last as it sounds like they are parting ways. Flights

Lucent - Scintilla

One man band from Ohio. Math to prog type jams and pretty good stuff for a first effort, plus it sounds like the guy wrote and recorded this in like a month which is pretty impressive. There is the promise of more tunes if people dig this, so love being shown. I quite wanna hear what he produces given more time. Name the pricer on the bandcamp. Scintilla

Chronoscopes - Around A Seashell Ashtray

San Jose based four piece. What I'd probably peg as a mix of math rock, post hardcore and post rock. Probably wins out to the post rock side of things. A name the pricer over bandcamps. Around A Seashell Ashtray

100%chevalier - EP-IC

 

So these are back with their second EP, much like the last record these are putting out a mix of math and post rock. If anything I'd say this time they lean more to post rock end of the spectrum. Once again though the math influence keeps everything moving along nicely and keeps all interesting.. EP-IC

Langosta - Super Nature EP

From Hartford, Connecticut these bring the Math Rock with a dance vibe that utilises the dynamics of post rock, has that crescendo effect to the music minus the drawn out build ups. This gives the tunes a overall chilling atmosphere whilst managing not to feel like they're dragging the tunes out. Nice jams and up on the bandcamp for the price of your choosing. Super Nature EP

No Pretty Pictures - Hush Hush

Really thought I had posted on these before.. apparently not! This is the latest release from these from back in feb. These bring a mix of math rock, post hardcore with elements of post rock. Do check out their bandcamp they have a fair amount of material up there all worth checking and up either free or name the price. Hush Hush

Brother Rutherford - Take Root

This is a solo one man affair of the post rock variety, post rock that does draw on math rock and progressive elements. The overall sound is pretty, well very chilling, but that doesn't equate to dull fortunately, and comes with that overall consistency and direction you can get with solo efforts. Out for the grand price of your choosing. Take Root

Eight Million Kami - Demo 2013

Classing these as one's to watch.. These have put out a couple of releases prior to this on bancamp, all basic recordings but brimming with ideas and clearly some skills behind them, these demos fall in the same category. Think progressive rock that incorporates math and post rock, jazz n such. Anyways one's to watch. All of their tunes are up for free on their bandcamp. Demo 2013

100% Chevalier / Pauwels - Split

100% Chevailer and Pauwels split, both bands contributing one tune each to the split. It's good to see 100% Chevailer still doing good things with the mix up of math/post rock, here's hoping we get to here a longer length release from these guys soon.
I hadn't listened to Pauwels before but they nicely hold up their end of the split bringing more of a stoner sounding math mix to the foray. Split

Pilgrimage - EP

A fine four piece from Florida here, these guys have a indie sounding core that is post-hardcore and math rock based, a core that also takes on a ton of other musical styles such as post rock for instance. These do really mix up the influences well, while never loosing the flow of the music. Some of the members used to be in the band Fire Spoken by the Buffalo which you may recall were in a similar vein, what I would say is there is a definite progression from those days in which these take on board more styles and yet tie it all up better, plus the math side is just that bit notched up. Out on the bandcamp name the price. Bandcmp Edit - the bandcamp ran out of free downloads but the band put this link up on their facebook to a fee one, nice one!

Astronomical - Takes One To Know

These used to be the solo project of the guitarist, but have now grown into a full fledged band of four members. These play math to post rock like noodles with the vocals being in the emo type. Don't be expecting a super spaz tapping riff fest but do expect well laid out heartfelt songs, solid instrumentals with depth. Currently out for name the price on the camp. Takes One To Know

Good Luck In Haiti - The Future Doesn't Need Us

This duo from Australia do a pretty descent job of mixing up math rock and post rock, saying that they do keep it more on the math side of things, but I tend to think that's a good thing. First outing for these and it's a good one, quite a diy sound to it (not in the poorly recorded way). will definitely be watching these for future releases expecting good things. This is out for the price you name. The Future Doesn't Need Us

Jardín de la Croix - 187 Steps To Cross The Universe

So these guys are back again, with four killer tracks. Really enjoyed the last release from these guys, and they still keep the prog feel and still seamlessly mix up the math and post rock, the only thing that has changed is they have actually managed to get even better. Up for free at the moment. 187 Steps To Cross The Universe

The Waldos - Sans

Portland based four piece, bringing some really sweet math rock, come post rock that incorporates a lot. There is quite a dynamic range of quiet parts to totally notched up rock out sections, with some really neat switches, and they both sound equally at home. This was recorded live but honestly sounds really polished. Really good and up for name the price too. Sans

Weary Eyes - Ghostwritten Stories Part II

An instrumental four piece out of Moscow. These guys have a really solid mix going here, they manage to take the sense of building and space from post rock, mix that up with the complexity of math rock, then take a healthy slice of energy in the form of elements of post hardcore. Pretty non stop. Was pretty much an instant like for me.. If you go over to their bandcamp you should also check out the first ep from these too (Pt I), they are both up for name the price so affordable as well as good. Ghostwritten Stories Part II

Diorama - "_ _ _ _ _"

From Lima, Peru this five piece bring what's mostly post rock, but combines some math rock elements as well as progy bits. For something with it's base in post rock these ain’t boring.. The whole record has a descent flow to it. This is the second outing from these guys and they have it out for full on free, if you check out their bandcamp you will also find their previous effort up there for free also. "_ _ _ _ _"

Microcause - Producing The Universe

Spanish trio from Madrid, occupying the space between post rock and math rock, though more to the post rock side of the line. First record from these guys apart from one track last year and a pretty solid first outing, only thing I'd say is I wish they made more of the changes/had more of them? but hey pretty sweet first outing still. Out on the old bandcamp name the price. Producing The Universe.
