Upsilon Acrux- Galapagos Mountain

Probably one of the last of those "math-rock" albums I still listen to on a semi-regular basis, Upsilon Acrux kick some major ass. They call themselves brutal prog because they can. There isn't much to write on about this band, besides they write some absolute jams. They also have a song on this album called Touched By God (Inappropriately). That should be enough to warrant at least one listen FROM YOUR PATHETIC, PUNY HUMAN BODY

Pretend- Bones in the Soil, Rust in the Oil

Holy balls, two posts in one day?! I can barely seem to post shit once a week, but I'm feeling crazy tonight.

Onwards to something I downloaded randomly because, fuck, I can download it. Actually it was compared to toe, and I'm not sure if the comparison was to the American post-rock band (whom I've never heard), or the Japanese one (whom rules). I can't really see many connections between this and the Japanese one, so I'll have to go with it was connected to the American one.

Either way, it's a really long album, over an hour. But I have to say, this has not gotten stale at one point in a full listen. It's really relaxing, and really good. Math-rocky double tapping instruments over a small crashing of drums make this album incredibly. There's vocals from time to time but I rarely pay attention to them as the instrumentation is pretty awesome.

As you can see, I haven't made some dicky little point about how you're wrong if I don't like it, which means that maybe I should at this point. Or maybe not, just download it, relax, and enjoy.

Oops

Haven't posted since December 10th, I have shit in my life to figure out, etc. This blog isn't about my whiny problems though, so welcome to a large post of shit I should've (re)posted.

The Newfound Interest in Connecticut- Tell Me About the Long, Dark Path Home
All I can say is that this is definitely recommended. Download or miss out.

toe- For Long Tomorrow
Probably the best album of 2009, but Kidcrash released an album in 2009, so ya know.

And So I Watch You From Afar- And So I Watch You From Afar
It's a really big download, deal with it

Fugazi- In On the Killtaker
The best Fugazi album. That's right, the best.

And yea, that's really all I care about to post right now. Go crazy and have fun and hate 2010.

toe- New Sentimentality

Incredibly laid back. Perfect music for those shitty finals.

Also, the drummer is crazy awesome.

Gifts of Enola- From Fathoms

Not the typical 'pretty' post-rock. It has distortion and it rules really hard.

download

more preferred place to download is from here though. the only reason i say this is because it's still free, but the band gets royalties off of each download, so it would be much better to download from that link because it helps the band make money.

better option

mudy on the 昨晩- kidnie

mudy on the sakuban are from japan. they have 3 guitarists, and are groovy (groovy) as fuck. no really, they groove.

japan rules.

ColorChromatic- Spirals

It's really jazzy and screamy and shit.
I don't know why you guys expect a good description of music from me.

By the End of Tonight/Tera Melos- Complex Full of Phantoms

Two really fuck awesome math rock bands get together and make a split lp that takes the biggest shit on any other split lp. ever.

HERE COME THE ROME PLOWS, ROME PLOWS

We Are Knives- We Have Become Like Knives

For the past couple of weeks or so I've had math's rock dick firmly placed in my mouth. Here is a math-rock band that should blow your mind. Incredibly impressive bass work that blows a lot of things out of the water.

Adebisi Shank

Some instrumental mathy post-punk that slays more faces than you think it can. Absolutely recommended. Terrible artwork for the EP, I know. It was the best I could find though.

This is the Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank
