Not really doing much for me so far. I am hearing some Les Claypool-type vibes however.

The song's called Atlas. I posted the music video if you're interested. The Tonto music video is great as well.
And yes, Ian Williams was the ex-guitarist of Don Caballero. The other guitarist, Tyondai Braxton is the son of Avant-garde Jazz musician Anthony Braxton!

I've only seen and heard one track on Jools Holland's show last week and that track was excellent (I cannot for the life of me remember what track it was though). I'll certainly check them out further.
By the way, one of the guitarists is also a member of Don Caballero.

I definitely agree with you here. They're being labeled as math rock, but they don't sound like any math rock band I've heard of. In fact, they sound like any band I've heard before!

I thought the same the first time I heard them and I felt the same as well when I listened to the full album, but when I saw that 1-hour concert I was literally stunned. I never thought that the music was that complex and the energy the band lacks in the album is perfectly illustrated in the concert (specially the drummer ). I never thought the same about them ever since and know they're literally my favorite band of 2007!

not my style either... but even if it doesn't 'hit' you.. you can
really see those guys have their sh*t wired tight and, as you
say, are good musicans. Plus the music is pretty
interesting. Like I said.. enough to keep me interested for
the length of a first listen/watch.

Tell me what you think about them. What did you or didn't you liked? BTW, the thread is for recommending and discussing the band so its 50/50.

I was wondering when they'd be added. I saw a YouTube video of them and immediately searched ProgArchives for them. I was astounded that they weren't on the site. Good to see another fresh, innovative group on the site.
