Xavii - Our Recent Futures (2012)


The amount of groups I have yet to post from 2012 is a little maddening...
ANYWAY
 
Xavii are a Georgia based group that amass a healthy stable of influences into 
one that they fully own. Slight jazzy prog with tender interweaving math guitars. More than capable vocals help round out the equation as well. This however is not a snore bomb by any means 
and they frequently loosen their belts to exercise some 
very interesting stops and starts. 

As always I wouldn't steer you fine folks and folkettes wrong, this is quality biz.

Manray - Tournament (2011)


One of the newest editions to the great Athens, Georgia based label, Hello Sir Records (home to Cinemechanica, Bronzed Chorus, Antarctic) this is some intense, driving, math ROCK. Think early Adebisi Shank with occasional shouted vocals or Battles crossed with Fugazi. Also reminds me of Alarma Man. If you dont know them, perhaps I should post that next. Check it!
