I have been listening to a "fuzz folk" band called GASHCAT. They recorded their first album on a boat and remind me a lot of Neutral Milk Hotel, very enjoyable! Also, check out this electronic band called The Soft Greens. He started his solo work after Loose Lips Sink Ships broke up, another really good local (for me!) math rock band.
The entire album is pretty awesome, I think you'll enjoy it. It's hard to put into words what kind of music they perform, but I still like the "Experimental Outer-space Jam" tag that I've heard used.
Thanks for sharing! I'm sure I'll have quite a few questions once I start acquiring all-grain equipment.
Giraffes? Giraffes! - More Skin with Milk-Mouth is a great instrumental and math-rock album. I just started listening to them again. My favorites off the album are probably "I am shimer..." and "A Quick One, While She's Away." The last track is very soothing to me. I am also in love with Perpetuum Mobile by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. It's a pretty old song and I'm sure it was probably in a commercial, but I still enjoy every minute of it. It makes me want to reflect on life and contemplate what my future will be like.
Thanks for the suggestions! I haven't listened to any new math rock in a while, but I'll definitely be listening to Bulletproof Tiger more in depth this week.
Thanks for the rec, that was the first artist I checked out in this thread!
Haha that's exactly where I've been. I went in 2007 for the Rage Against the Machine reunion and am still curious as to why I am alive. It was worth it.
I hope so, because the way the ran the show was about 99% suck! It is no wonder that they have a hard time filling the position. As for the exit interview, I was completely honest with them in a respectful manner. They were pretty grateful because of that and took a lot of notes to improve the position for future candidates.
This is probably a stupid question, but have you listened to Andrew Jackson Jihad? One of my favorites of the genre!
I've been into this independent hip-hop artist Sol for the past week. Some of it is a bit corny but I still like it. I'm fond of "Paint" and "Stage Dive" in particular. I'm also digging this completely unrelated classic bluegrass track by Flatt & Scruggs. Everybody get out your jugs!
Interesting article. Here is related website called Walk Score. The point of it is to see how "walkable" your city or neighborhood is. Time to get off my ass.
Zechs Marquise Their newish album is amazing. It's mostly instrumental, experimental, and psychedelic. If you like The Mars Volta you'll probably enjoy this. Also, Mystery Skulls! I enjoy head grooving to this a bunch.
Rockford, Illinois, USA. I live in a sea of corn and crime!
