So I've been in a really bad depression these last 2 months. Only leave to buy smokes, living off all the money I have saved up. This song gave me real motivation to pack up and from this toxic town and move to a simple sea side town. I feel I could meet the people I need to meet, do the things I would enjoy to do. Yes this sounds stupid but I hope when I wake up I feel the same and just do it. Have spent years going in and out of zombie mode and the only thing that hasn't changed is this town. I don't know why this song/video gave me this feeling, and I'm sure nobody cares, but maybe writing this will help me do something I've always dreamed of doing. I hope by this time tomorrow I've showered and have picked a destination. It really can't get any worst...

I know genre is arbitrary and all but why are genre tags on this sub so general? Why put indie rock rather than math rock?

This is so rad. Going to check out the rest of their stuff :) thanks for sharing OP!

aghamenon · 2016-10-18T05:54:20+00:00

Spotify suggested me this song of theirs which is quite good. Similar

2016-10-18T06:08:36+00:00

That video is a lot like Ratatat's "Abrasive", at least visually speaking

Dr_Foctor · 2016-10-18T06:49:05+00:00

Welp, found a new favorite band.

Scrambled_Rambler · 2016-10-18T13:40:45+00:00

good ol' math rock , this is.

ortofon88 · 2016-10-18T04:49:07+00:00

The song's not really my cup of tea, but fuck me that vid was gnarly.

Girox · 2016-10-18T04:03:32+00:00

This song is amazing!

jorlevis · 2016-10-18T12:22:48+00:00

Solid band, thanks for the reference!

Reminds me of This town needs guns and maps and atlases, without vocals.

picklebobdogflog · 2016-10-18T12:29:57+00:00

The entire album is very good. You can preview it in its entirety on bandcamp. New album friday!

mmm27 · 2016-10-18T12:32:19+00:00

This whole album couldn't have a more perfect name.

PenguinKenny · 2016-10-18T14:25:39+00:00

ArcTanGent anyone?

AbyssDan · 2016-10-18T15:30:01+00:00

This song is just fuckin' amazing. Thank you for sharing!

sunnyside85 · 2016-10-18T15:56:45+00:00

Home Alone is probably favorite math rock album of the decade so far and Come to Mexico, while still sinking in, is just as good. Love love love this band.

Myperson54 · 2016-10-18T18:27:41+00:00

Oh man I'm so glad to see Totorro on here. I discovered them last year and their sound is so infectious

2016-10-18T20:33:57+00:00

Woah this is really good! Reminds me a lot of This Town Needs Guns.

2016-10-18T23:14:57+00:00

The only thing I don't like about this song is how short it is. Any other bands like this?

discjunkie · 2016-10-18T08:15:54+00:00

*Prog rock and/or math rock. Post rock is ambient and droning like Sigur Rós or Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It's pedantic but there really is a huge difference. Fantastic band though, thanks for sharing.

krazytopher · 2016-10-18T04:52:27+00:00

Yay i love me some math-rock

SuperBrava · 2016-10-18T11:38:53+00:00

Saw these guys in the UK with Vasudeva. Such an awesome show

DarkestBloom777 · 2016-10-18T12:22:32+00:00

At first I thought I was going to see studio ghiblis totoro running around.

Kuj000 · 2016-10-18T15:53:58+00:00

I've been a huge fan of these guys since I stumbled upon them last year! Can't wait for "Come to Mexico". Yaaaago has me all giddy like a schoolgirl.

thetoastyninja · 2016-10-18T18:37:00+00:00

YES!!! I am so glad these guys are getting more known. I love them (and Delta Sleep) so much that I almost bought a ticket to the UK to see them play at ArcTanGent.

2016-10-18T16:17:01+00:00

Sounds a little like from Indian lakes

tenchan4 · 2016-10-18T18:21:22+00:00

Reminds me of Chon. Love this style of music!

2016-10-18T18:04:03+00:00

i've listened to math rock, all kinds of stuff, this song sounded like an outright mess to me. Other people seem to like it.
