Chinook - EP
Repost:
In the time between this post and now I have realized a few interesting things concerning Chinook's EP. This EP has grown on me like a spreading wild fire. The melodies have latched into my brain in such a fashion that has surpassed what I initially gave them credit for. Those guitar's seriously never waste a moment. The drums almost steal the show as well. While not altogether unconventional certainly both convey a sense of fun and serious ass rocking that seems to be lacking in a lot of post rock. I frequently blast this very loudly in my car while air drumming around town a favorite past time of mine. It's pretty much bullshit that more people aren't talking about these guys. Please if you didn't the first time around do yourself the pleasure.

Now we are in about the same realm of math as far as feeling but this Michigan quartet are far more melodic than my previous post. Some of the breakdowns here are really brilliant for math rock this driving. Its something that really hits a chord emotionally speaking so this is not something anyone should be going out of town for. Extremely well crafted indie rock tinged math. Very nicely produced as well which for intricate rock music gives you that much of a leg up.

Lydia's Sleep - Wires (2012)
Whoa....
I was just ejected from my current seated position.
By whom you may ask?
Lydia's Sleep.
Now this is isn't a wholly math rock affair but that certainly should not detract from the proceedings.
Alternative Math with post hardcore lite leanings and a dash of post rock. This is just incredibly well thought out structurally as well. So when these cats from Portugal make a turn its on a razor dime smacking your face. End result? an auto fist pump (tm.) Do I usually get all gushy about production values? mai non. However you could really make the case here though, crystal clear and punchy as all get out. Vocals are also really excellent too for something this instrumentally rich.
Much more people should be losing their minds listening to this....
I REPEAT. THIS IS A MUST LISTEN.
