A Norwegian experimental band, based in Denmark, formed as far as i know at the conservatory in Copenhagen, plays a jazzy and experimental rock, inspired by Radiohead, and Potishea, would also say Talk Talk and also the more jazzy post rock bands, and math rock bands, very storng vocals, passionate, and strong, experimental vocals, and very amazing accrobatics. http://open.spotify.com/track/66Jl281IPxSCnLZcC91sSJ" rel="nofollow - http://open.spotify.com/track/66Jl281IPxSCnLZcC91sSJ http://www.myspace.com/doffspoi" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/doffspoi http://www.doffspoi.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.doffspoi.com/ http://https://soundcloud.com/doffs-poi/tangoluren" rel="nofollow - http://https://soundcloud.com/doffs-poi/tangoluren -------------

Their self-titled mini album from April of last year is up on bandcamp: http://dayladorecollective.bandcamp.com/album/doffs-poi" rel="nofollow - http://dayladorecollective.bandcamp.com/album/doffs-poi "A near psychedelic and energetic explosion of sounds turn into songs that could be compared to a five year old in a playland on a rush of too much sugar. This describes a band who to an extended degree let the music guide them. Through rough tones, peculiar lyrics and melodies, and extremely surprising moves on the drums, they create a universe of their own. Their music has been described as happy-jazz-core, a strange blend of three personalities who love to create music in unison. Doffs Poi have been compared to bands like Deerhoof, Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Animal Alpha and Kobert." "...they handle their instruments as naturally as they use their toothbrush..."

From the first 30 seconds I say math rock for sure.

 ...Just not all that easy to place regarding a sub genre, but Frank probably isn't far off the mark with his Math Rock suggestion for this band.

Okay just to reinforce what Frank has said (thanks  ), I've seen them described as Math-jazz so let's see what the Math Team makes of them. By the way, David, they've also been compared to Deerhoof (in Crossover)... had a quick listen to them and I can understand the comparison. If Doffs Poi don't make the cut in Math do you think they'd have a chance in Crossover?

^ They'd definitely stand a chance Chris...It's prog for sure, so they almost certainly belong here somewhere, and if the math boys don't want them, it would probably be a case of Crossover or 'bust'!

... yep probably, although perhaps an outside chance in JR/F?

Well, Christoffer - they aren't in the new combined Post/Math chart on progfreak, and Crossover certainly haven't evaluated them, so it doesn't look as though this was ever taken any further. Math Rock suggestions were all handled within the team thread in the collab zone back at the time this band was suggested, but you'd find more activity in the average graveyard than there was most of the time in that thread! Don't know if JR/F ever had a look at them, and I can't access that part of the forum to check for you these days, so we need the assistance of someone with four or five stars just to confirm this one way or the other. My gut feeling is that this one has hit a dead end though, and needs adding to the Post/Math chart...to take its place alongside the other 42 'new' suggestions they currently have to deal with.  I'd go and borrow a copy of 'In Search Of Lost Time' by Marcel Proust from your local library...and grab yourself a coffee...You may be in for a bit of a wait!
