Ok. So it has been ages since Ive listened to any rock music. Battles kind of brought me back into that sound, looking into there past I got into Don Caballero and the projects that followed it (Coptic Light). I'm in love with the playful complexity of the mathrock sound. I've recently heard Foals and while the band sounds like it could eventually not end up being some poppy shit. it still is too poppy for me. The Japanese band LITE has a few good tracks etc etc. Anyone else digging this sound? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totally. i'd highly recommend checking out holy fuck's album LP. also hella is along some of the same lines as well, but theyre a bit much for some and an acquired taste for the rest :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but Hella fuck Battles in the butt. Do you really enjoy the Holy Fuck CD? i thought it was kinda really meh after seeing them live which was good. a band that fucks Hella in the butt: . bass > guitar. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
1) Holy fuck are awesome 2) its maths 3) go to and listen to the track 'Royal Gregory' |
||||||||

beard > mustache |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1) go to and listen to the track 'Observing the Armies in The..' |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
these guys are good. I'm liking the samples. Can you recommend a good starter-album for the uninitiated? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Please tell me you've heard of . It's basically math rock with idm elements. Excellent stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the self titled 'holy fuck lp' as mentioned above. its the blast. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought it was really good when I firast heard it but now it is all starting to sound very samey. |
||||||||
|
|

Everybody with an interest in mathrock should get 'Spiderland' by Slint. It's probably the most influential mathrock album released. The whole mathrock genre has suffered because of this, though, as a lot of bands try to sound like Slint. Still, it's a great album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you Sir! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So I listened to Lite last night........ ok, I might listen to some more. As a genre, is Mathrock purely instrumental? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nay, i would consider bands like q and not u to be part of mathrock as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not sure about Hella. Heavy yes. but it sounds like shit. I'm not that into the math metal. Dillinger Escape Plan would be great without vocals... I guess I'm looking for something cleaner and filled with energy. not so much for the growing my hair out and gaining a beer gut style of math music. Will check out slint ! |

SO IN THIS THREAD THERE IS A PENIS TALKING ABOUT A HOLY FUCK CD AND HOW IT'S A... BLAST... YUP... |

Given a rock band R having a possibly infinite number of elements, a subset of which containing only guitarists. Find an injective map f:R→N, where N is the set of natural numbers. Is there a bijective map from R to N? From R to R, where R is the set of real numbers? Hint: Consider the shredocity function s(g), where g ∈ R is some guitarist. Can you think of any rock bands having cardinality aleph-one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you need to add N to (X). |
||||||||
|
|

I love it. |

Have you guys listened to I picked up one of their cds several years ago when I saw open for them. It is pretty good. David Byrne meets Slint/Battles/that kind of thing? if you will. Anyway I like that stuff but my friends are all into it and introduced to me to Don Cab, Forest for the Trees, Paul Newman, etc Members of Harbor Gentleman do now if anyone is interested. |
||||||||

|
Actually I like 2 or 3 Foals songs at the moment. Brazil is here! Hummer and either Mathletics, Balloons or Astronaut whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know what math rock is, is it rock songs about Algebra and Pythagoras? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Foals are bloody aweseom, however samey they are, can't wait for the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Try Giraffes?? Giraffes!! They are great and have the best name of any band in a long time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, i've been looking for the 'forest for the trees' album for awhile now but have no luck in finding it. :S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha I saw the singer from Foals, Yannis Philippakis walking round Oxford today. He seemed quite shy, as soon as we made any degree of eye contact he kinda started increasing pace lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FOALS is one of the best things Ive added to the ipod lately. Its as energetic as Battles but has that Talking Heads, Fire engines type sound that gives it the edge. Its like a second favourite beer when you're used to large doses of Vodka and Redbull or Rum and Coke. Maths class would be nice if the singer didnt ruin the sound. |
||||||||

|
Foals-april 23 Battles-June 14th Autechre-april 15th I am a lucky guy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
battles are pretty shit, in my opinion. the redneck manifesto are well worth checking out.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hopefully seeing Battles up in Birmingham as part of Supersonic festival... I missed Foals this year, tickets sold out too fast surprisingly enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im checking out foals right now, pretty cool so far, but the new meshuggah has a lot of math in it. trying to follow their rhythm timings is a chore. totally sick. highly recommended. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, foals just keep getting better. im not sure i hear much of a 'math rock' sound. but they sound great nonetheless. def digging that talking heads type influence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They arent really mathy. they are samey but fresh. they arent math but obviously well thought-out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm certain this has been discussed to death before, but is all music not math? I'm hoping not to start a discussion. I'm just saying it's sort of funny that the music lends itself to a term such as "mathrock" which clearly makes sense in context, but is really a bit redundant, no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh that's the thing though, a lot of math rock doesn't actually use math technique in such a depth. 'tis odd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Its as energetic as Battles but has that Talking Heads" because of that quote i am now going to download some foals |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, wow, theres a lot of it, any suggestions where to start for a <3er of battles? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my most anticipated album this year is by pyramids, who were just recently signed to hydrahead. and they already get my vote for album cover of the year. its perfect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh but did you listen to Hella's Hold Your Horse Is because that is boss and i'd say pretty "clean" but fast and complex. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hold your Horse Is sounds "ok" clean. manic. slightly technical but the sound all together is still not very refined. or at least not for my ears. I'm not against the Metal sound but this composition is imo really irritating overall. I will try again to hear hella. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok. It is decent. lacks the energetic vibe though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait til Monday / Find the leak of the debut "Antidotes" album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
got it already ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, i need the antidote for that record. i have been playing nothing but that at all. at first, a lot of it it was way too poppy sounding for me, but i got over it and am digging most of it. def has a lot of talking heads like babaouo said, but i also hear some disco biscuits in there in parts and def some don cab influenece in sound, not structure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any good? I'm waiting til the actual release. Cassius is mindblowing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
holy fuck played at my tims place, the ford plant - got a chance to see em. there going to take my thumbs : F |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cassius it's over! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it gets my vote for the most annoying song of the past decade |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why? it's brilliant! the sax stabs are what make it, and that weird multi-tracked sax freakout at the end should be so much longer - perhaps lead into another song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm just not big on the lyrics to that one. I like the sax though. Foals is basically Microhouse styled mathrock with that Talking heads thing. I cant stop listening to Battles: DdiamondD, Dance and Tij |
