Never heard of them but I’m enjoying it. Definitely a tappy band, this album is from 2011 and shows up on the Bandcamp charts for “math rock” right now. Good stuff.

There’s definitely some Forest of Polarities vibes in here, especially in “A Single Hat Loss”). Mix of math and post. Well worth the listen.

Related to How To Count One To Ten. Kinda chill but nice.

Nice little Midwest emo band out of Florida. I enjoyed the last album, hopefully you will too.

Okay, let's get a conversation started, since I need more music. Note that I'm team tappy and sparkles, so I'm curious what y'all found fantastic this year. Just because I'm not into slint or car bomb doesn't mean I can't be into something like it.

Here's my top albums:

• Totorro - Sofa So Good. Several earworms and the whole album is great.
• Carian - Saranhedra. Maybe a bit too much Cloudkicker, But holy crap I need more of this.
• Armature - s/t (Seattle) (a lot of heart in here)
• Comprehending - The Perils and Rewards of an Unknown Path. Just a nice pleasant album. The brass in Constant reminds me of, well, you know.
• Parachute Day - Seasonal Expression. Just fun, upbeat & enjoyable. reminds me a bit of Chronologist.

Top EPs:

• This is the Second EP of a band called Adebisi Shank. Four fantastic tracks, hopefully the shows and adoration encourage some more. Runnerups aplenty:
• Let it Eat You for Fun (math/post gloriousness),
• renaive (I swear I hear some Zefs Chasing Cara in there),
• Homi/Homi (some super tight playing),
• Catholics (Prinze Jr split, which seriously may be better than their last album)

The "More of that track, please", award, 2025:

• Hiroe, "Collider". Fantastic use of tapping throughout, and the whole album is a great post-rock album.
• Runnerup for the same reasons: Kusanagi, "Polymorph"

The "Favorite album I just found this year regardless of genre" award:

• Meer - Wheels within Wheels. The 2024 awards were right, that's the kind of upbeat, epic, music I need in my life. Both singers add to it, they've got two string players. Is it prog? Probably?

The "Not math-rock but" award:

• Psychonaut - World Maker.
• Runner up: Grapefruit Astronauts

So, how about you?

last album from brazilian post-rock band from ponta grossa - pr

I think the album counts more as post rock than math rock, but this track in particular has some very math rock vibes to it, and I thought that the community would appreciate it. I was unfamiliar with them until recently, and they just released this album this week.

I think i read the album comes out on October 1st. Based on the two tracks released so far, they’re in fantastic form.

TIL Steve Albini was also a World Series of Poker participant.

RIP

Edit: Yes, his name on the document was Steven Albini

Challenger Deep is an instrumental rock four-piece boy band out of Atlanta, Georgia. Born of a passion for music and a light-hearted camaraderie, they continue to push their creative limits to create music that is both technically interesting and fun to listen to. Drawing on different inspirations, the band’s members incorporate their individual styles cultivated over years of playing into the boundless possibilities that instrumental music has to offer.

IMO one of the best live mathrock performance recordings since Toe's music video for Goodbye.

Saw the community could still use a few more posts so I thought I'd share one of my favorite albums.

This community is very small so I decided to share these two codes here.

Please comment if you used one.

Recently came across this band that I want to share. More post punk that a lot of math rock but still of great mathy riffs and time signatures.
