This band is the illegitimate child of Deerhoof and Don Cab. In fact it features a deerhoof guitar player in the band. Mathy at times with lots of Avant-Jazz sensibility embodied by melody, noise and electronics. This band is a great marriage of sound. Lots of songs lots of depth. Reminds me of Gastr Del Sol at times I love this record, poppy at times, noisy at others. PLAY THIS –the bAWd of eUPHONY
1** Brief piano intro into full on Math assault
2 Brief bleeps
3* Deerhoofian stumbling
4** Cool piano line with odd groove and underwater feel. Cool
5** Minimal bleep and guitar. Gets more textured. Open and Odd. Very Gastr Del Sol
6* Very rocking with weaving guitar lines. Prog rock?
7 Short drum thing, odd
8** Guitars pound slow with drums. Very Patient but dirty. Explodes at end in chaos. EPIC
9 Noisy bleeps.
10 simple guitars with someone playing with a toy
11* Awesome guitar line into a rocking groove. Twisted
12 electronic weirdness short
13 Rocking weirdness. Chaotic!
14 Bee attack? Cool short
15** very dissonant guitars into rad heavy groove. INSANE!
16** Acoustic openness with sparse drums. Jazzy and Odd
17 Bells and bleeps, short
18 scratchy weirdness into xylo solo?
19** Holy Riff Batman! Indonesian pop? Fucking Cool
20** droned keys over arpegiated guitars and pump organ. Moody and open. Pretty. Great surf groove comes in. Awesome!
21 Bell short
22 Piano and xylo with vocals?
