Subbing.

Also Agent Fresco absolutely destroys, though I don't know if I'd call them mathy.

 

Been digging this song a lot lately:

 

Surprised there hasn't been any Floral in here yet.

 

Invalids!!!!!
One of the members of Floral plays in Invalids too

 

You beautiful fuck. Never heard of these guys. Getting a heavy Minus the Bear vibe. Love it.

 

they're the nicest people too. i love pete so much. booked them last year for one of their first full band shows, got them to come back this year!

 

Yeah, this song fucking slays. Never heard these guys before, but I'm digging this.

 

this band is the sickest - they combine the post-rockish soaring emo with mathrock in a real cool way - the echo & the light is an amazing album

 

i wish CSTVT guy would stop being a doctor and make more music

 

didn't know that - but yeah, I agree wholeheartedly

saving lives < new CSTVT jams

 

I've gone down an Invalids rabbit hole this morning, dang they are good

 

sick, did not know that.

there is an entire full length written that will probably never be recorded which is such a bummer.

///

for the uninitiated:

 

So there's new CSTVT music written but dude's out of the game for the time being?

 

bummer is such an understatement... v_v

can we at least get a vinyl repress of The Echo & the Light [not asking Tops Helf but kind of hoping Kevin reads this and inception happens and he acquires the rights to the album and reissues it in a cool color like starburst (or even black, who the fuck cares) and maybe gives me a free copy por implanting such a good idea in his brain - also, Tops Helf 4 lyf]

 

Wow, so For Long Tomorrow is fucking great, huh? Such shimmering cymbal work, very engulfing guitar riffs, and it plays so successfully with patience and urgency. Love it.

 

And "Can't Hear Mosquitone Any More #1" has a fucking gorgeous marimba part. Talk about the most underrated keyboard percussion instrument.

 

yup, brock plays in both.

 

Which album or group is this referring to? Subbing now love some math rock.

 

toe
Japan sure kills it with post rock and math rock, eh?

 

Ah thanks, heard tons of great hype about Toe but slept on them. Time to change that. Yep lots of great Japanese bands in those genres.

 

Do you think there's any kind of satisfying explanation to why this is? Math rock I kind of get, it's frenetic and chaotic and probably mirrors life there in some ways, but post-rock is usually so serene and relaxed, and like, I've always heard that Japan is a really stressful place to live. Maybe I'm just high and making up all of this (spoiler: I'm definitely at least high).
