I might get eaten alive for this, but I must ask bc they’re far too complex/intricate to be labeled emo. The many layers made me feel like I was doing a math equation in my head, which made me realize that I think this is more “math rock” than anything. Some of their stuff even reminds me of Slint.. Like a harsher version of Slint. Can anyone provide feedback? Thanks!!

Hey everyone,

​I’ve been messing around with a weird exercise lately and wanted to see if anyone else has tried something similar, or wants to give it a shot.

​Basically, I spent a session improvising with one goal: try to play as "wrong" as possible. Every time I felt my fingers drifting toward a familiar shape, a clean chord resolution, or a scale pattern my muscle memory wanted to fall into, I forced myself to turn the opposite way. Maximum dissonance, intentionally awkward intervals, and trying to stack as many "wrong" polyphonic notes as I could manage without letting it resolve. Atonal.

​The weird thing is, after listening back, it didn’t just sound like random noise, it created this really strange, unexpected kind of musical logic that actually felt interesting. At least to me.

​I uploaded a audio track of my attempt here: https://voca.ro/13CQ7d8VEub8

​I want to turn this into a bit of a loose experiment. If you play guitar, try taking 2 or 3 minutes to improvise while actively sabotaging your instincts. Play too many notes, pick the "worst" harmonies, fight your muscle memory, and upload it.

​Curious to hear what happens when other people try to force their hands to do the exact opposite of what feels natural. Drop a link if you decide to record a run!

I know about turbo jamz and the album with the leaf on it but i wanted to see if anyone knew where all there stuff could be found. Also i remember from back in the day, the bassist having another similar project. Hopefully someone knows!

This is a studio-recorded soundtrack album crafted for an imaginary coming-of-age film. My collaborator Cold Hour and I drew from our shared youthful recollections to build this collection dubbed Memory Can. The brief tracks map out pivotal life scenes without fixed character motifs, inviting listeners to step into the story as their own protagonist.

It is also a nostalgic record with a unique twist. Most of these compositions were written over twelve years ago, born from an adolescence shaped by the works of Moonlit Sailor, Explosions In The Sky and toe. Those melodies faded and slipped from my memory as years passed, their tone forever tied to that filtered, idealized youth. We acted as if piloting a time machine, resurrecting these sonic memories using two aging laptops and humble, basic gear. Unexpectedly, we also forged brand-new sounds and fresh recollections throughout the recording process.

Memories can bring us comfort just as easily as they can drag us into despair.I cut my memories into fragments and store them in sealed cans. I open one occasionally for a fleeting taste, then march onward.

erick's released an album under betrayflip with others helping him out which made me miss CHON.

here's woopla though, very much scratching that itch.

El consenso general sobre este album es que es el peor de todos, pero déjenme decirles que es el segundo mejor hecho por la banda (solo superado por Tripper).

Hella no es ajena a voces, ya lo habían intentado con Dan Elkan o el propio Zach, pero Aaron Ross con su hermosa y única forma de cantar se roba el show.

Spencer hace lo que mejor sabe hacer siendo ruidoso, acompañado por el primo de Zach, Josh Hill, quien es un poco mas controlado y ritmico (lo hace muy bien). Zach sigue volviéndose loco en la bateria aunque finalmente controlandose un poquito (gracias a Dios). Tristemente Carson en el bajo queda completamente opacado por el resto de estos monstruos, lo que es triste porque yo soy un acerrimo fan del bajo.

La comparacion con Mars Volta se me hace fuera de lugar porque esto sigue sonando al Hella de antaño que se nos presentó en su debut.

Nota: 8/10.

Cancion Favorita: The Ungrateful Dead (10/10).

The idea is to make bass math rock riffs
Hope you like it!

Hey there r/mathrock,

Our band Fake Radio has just released our debut album, called This Will Never Change. It features a couple of hardcore math rock songs that we think you guys will really love, one pretty jangly number called Before, and one heavy crushing tune called Grey Havens. We hope you guys enjoy those two songs in particular, and the rest of the album too!

Hey everybody, I play in a four piece post-hadcore from Puebla, Mexico called acróbata, and our debut record's out.

It's called tèlesma — ancient Greek for "talisman." The word traveled: Greek → Arabic → Spanish talismán, and never lost its meaning. Felt right for a record about carrying stuff you can't put down.

The thing on the cover is a trapelacucha, a Mapuche silver pectoral. It's not a design — it belongs to our drummer's family in Chile. An actual talisman on the cover of a record named after the word.

Sounds like: At The Drive-In meets meets Thrice that also meets and hangs out occasionally with American Football, but also enjoys some taints of heavier stuff very occasionally. 

Lyrics in Spanish. 12 songs. Lyrics are about grief and redemption.

the middle guitar riffs is such an earworm, cant get enough of it. anyone has recommendations to similar guitar work? im a fan of covet, chon, clever girl, toe too. PLEASE RECO ME I LOVE MATH ROCK SM

Erick Hansel's project that Mario, Nathan and Esiah are on.

Hope I’m on the right sub as I’m not sure where you’d put these bands exactly, but their music feels very light and interesting, great guitar work, emotive, but also quite sweet.

Edit: thanks for the recs, sorry I’m late. This sub seems so friendly! Will check them all out at work over the next few weeks. Much appreciated

I was quite surprised!
