Dispo / Barberos - You vs Us / Us vs You


An interestingly paired split here that does share some similarities. Dispo's portion is more math rock bent but still has some electronic elements in common with Barberos. A harder pop sense also runs through their three songs, in fact I find it hard even to say "pop" really. Excellent rhythmic sense and pretty inventive vocal use. Would love to hear a full length for sure from these Italians. 

Barberos, as said before, is the more electronic minded end but still brings in some interesting rhythms as well. The last song is a bit long....which I dont normally gripe about but it loses the quick pace of the ep. I would have to hear at least one more song to grab a full opinion but UK based Barberos do hold their own very well.

fago.sepia - split w/gulfer






Lets get this small piece of info out of the way first. For my money (however little there always seems to be) fago.sepia is pound for pound one of the greatest math groups going right now. Their attention to melody, compositional restlessness and technicality always has me coming back. Its no surprise that this split with Montreal based Gulfer is so SPOT on. Not to snub Gulfer in any way they've deff got some nice math pop going for them.
