Around the genesis of math rock, a number of highly obscure indie bands released sporadic, undervalued, and hard to find albums before either disappearing entirely shortly after their release or moving on to other projects. One such band is A Minor Forest. Boasting a rather Slint-like style and some very punky moments, they combine a very slimmed down post-rock shell with a very chewy math rock center. I quite enjoy how primal their music sounds in comparison to modern post and math rock, and you can really get a sense of just how early in the development of the these two genres this band really was from just a single listen. In many ways, they are a bit proto-post, employing many elements from post-punk and noise rock to create a - for the time (and still somewhat today in some regards) - rather unique sound. Some examples for you fine ladies and gentlemen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7-z5IDPGDg" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7-z5IDPGDg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Aqneq5J_s" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Aqneq5J_s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYlpqsfSY-4&list=RDp5Aqneq5J_s&index=2" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYlpqsfSY-4&list=RDp5Aqneq5J_s&index=2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfV1pNKb0do&list=RDp5Aqneq5J_s&index=3" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfV1pNKb0do&list=RDp5Aqneq5J_s&index=3 These selections are not necessarily their best songs nor even my personal favorites (aside from the first one ...But the Pants Stay On, that one is in fact my favorite), but I think they do provide a good cross section of their sound and brief career. Both of their works are available for streaming from Spotify, which is where I recommend you do the rest of your listening, considering their superior sound quality.

thanks, noted, a proper math/punk outfit, yes not sure about them though, I mean if they fit the progressive rock boundaries of this site let's wait if a team member will pop in soon ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Rivertree" rel="nofollow">  |
