Why and how and why and seriously why have I never listened to UA before now? This is rad as fuck.

 

Not strictly post-rock here from Russians Antethic but this is like 65daysofstatic, Tycho and Fuck Buttons in a lift and I'm very into it. Album out end of May.

 

It is only their second album and first in 7 years, but they've had a handful of singles and other small releases over that time.

 

Video starts about 12 minutes in but this will be an ongoing thing with more videos to come.

 

good album

 

Leaning into dance-y instrumental rock was a super good move.

 

The 50 greatest math rock albums of all time

 

loose definition of math there haha

 

There is a lot of post rock in there.

Also, let’s be real: these lists will NEVER please everyone.

 

The Vasudeva is hitting me in all the right feels. Glad they stepped away from being so mathy.

 

I think that element of their sound is very much still present on Generator. These are just some of their best songs to date.

 

I don’t hear math much at all...

I just love how they are so much more expansive and ambient now.

 

Okay, I mean, that's fine too. Not telling you you're wrong for having the opinion you have. All I'm saying is that, sonically and songwriting-wise, I think Generator is not very different from No Clearance or Life In Cycles. Feel free to disagree.

 

Yeah I don’t really hear much math either tbh

 

I hear it more tonally. They aren't playing with odd time signatures or song structures, but the sounds, to me, are not far from typical math rock. I always felt that way about their prior two albums as well. Those albums weren't super weird as far as time signatures and structures go either. I think they've just had a math rock influence, sonically, on their dance-infused take on post rock. That's where I'm coming from.

 

On the more metal-leaning side of post rock:

 

Debut album Kept Underneath out May 8th and I really can't wait to hear it.
