Post Rock/Math rock definition

POST-ROCK:

The term post-rock was coined by Simon Reynolds in issue 123 of The Wire (May 1994) to describe a sort of music "using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbres and textures rather than riffs and powerchords."

Originally used to describe the music of such bands as Stereolab, Disco Inferno, Seefeel, Bark Psychosis and Pram, it spread out to be frequently used for all sorts of jazz- and Krautrock-influenced, instrumental, electronica-added music made after 1994. Bands from the early 1990s such as Slint, or earlier, such as Talk Talk were influential on this genre. As with many musical genres, the term is arguably inadequate: it is used for the music of Tortoise as well as that of Mogwai, two bands who have very little in common besides the fact that their music is largely instrumental.

The aforementioned Tortoise was among the founders of the movement. After the second Tortoise LP Millions Now Living Will Never Die, the band became a post-rock icon. After Millions... many bands (e.g., Do Make Say Think) began to record, inspired by the "Tortoise-sound" and were often described as post-rock.

In the late nineties, Chicago, Illinois, became the home base of many different groups. John McEntire (of Tortoise) became an important producer for lots of them, as well as Jim O'Rourke (of Brice-Glace, Gastr del Sol and many more). Post-rock began to range from the slow, guitar-based ambience of Boxhead Ensemble to the up-tempo electronica of Stereolab.

Montreal, Quebec band Godspeed You Black Emperor! - later renamed 'Godspeed You! Black Emperor' - brought a political element with anti-globalization movement leanings.

By the early 2000s, the term had started to fall out of favor, while the major artists kept on making high quality recordings. The wide range of styles covered by the term had robbed it of its usefulness almost from the moment it was coined.

Closely related to post-rock is the genre known as Math rock, characterized by more percussive timbres, and more dissonant harmonic gestures.

MATH ROCK:

Math Rock is a genre that emerged in the late 80's and that was influenced by both the intricacies of progressive and avant-garde rock - King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Henry Cow - and 20th century composers such as Steve Reich and John Cage. The music is characterized by complex structures, angular melodies and constant abrupt changes in tempo and time signature. The name Math Rock is a term that grew out of the Chicago scene and the artists working with engineer Steve Albini in an effort to describe the new style.

The basic building blocks of Math Rock can be traced back to the late 60's and 70's where Progressive Rock artists were making more elaborate compositions than the standard rock bands and were experimenting with song structures. Early Avant-garde groups like Massacre, and artists such as Captain Beefheart and John Zorn were highly influential to Math Rock bands and traces of their music can still be heard throughout the genre. Another big influence to the Math Rock approach was Slint with their album "Spiderland" which showcased many techniques that Math Rock bands will follow in the future. Punk also had significant impact on the sound of Math Rock bands. Other notable influences are: Post-Rock, Heavy Metal, and Jazz.

Although there are Math Rock bands in different countries around the world, most reside in the United States, the Midwest in particular, and tend to be divided by regions: Pittsburgh bands (Don Caballero, Six Horse) Chicago bands (Shellac, U.S. Maple), Ohio bands (Keelhaul, Craw) Louisville bands (June 44, Rodan, The For Carnation, Crain), and San Diego bands (Drive Like Jehu, Tristeza) among others on both coasts. Japan was also an important country in the Math Rock genre with bands like Ruins and Zeni Geva.

Review by tszirmay

5 stars Not really knowledgeable in a particular style means nothing when there so much blurred demarcation lines between prog genres anyway. Case in point, this remarkable album by this Scottish trio, which I landed upon by sheer good fortune and, as it can occasionally happen, bowling me away completely like a rolling strike right down the alley, pins flying, taking toll. The track list feels like an endlessly radiant suite, each piece blending with the previous challenge, opening eyes and ears with refined infusion.

Being a total pushover for dense atmospheres and a celestial voice, the very first seconds of "Bruise Pusher" nailed me to a proverbial cross of infinite salvation, as the tingling harp line intermingles with dense guitar swaths, walls of orchestrated string and a female vocalist by the name of Elizabeth Heaton that radiates both delicate power and shimmering beauty. The title track veers to a more electronic realm, with brooding, almost sinister bass tremors, the plaintive emanations from her sorrowful voice hitting hard and most of all, a constantly hopeful piano twinkle that serves to raise the spirit. The orchestrations again rule the waves, as the vaporizing water flood the ears. "Soveraine" segues perfectly into a heartfelt chant, each note expressive and meaningful in its fragility, guided along by the layered cello, as well as echoing guitar arpeggios, and a sense of eternity that just grabs at the senses. Imagine a proggier version of Portishead, Beth Gibbons was after all, one of the finest singers in music. This impression is most evident on the immensely seductive "Glue", featuring a magnificent performance all around, what with the electronic pace, the symmetric guitar rasps and that serpentine swirl of a siren sitting atop a rocky crag, beckoning the sailors to meet their fate. The denouement is just plain sublime. An exhausted piano serenely searches for a new avenue of expression, even more sedate than the previous commotion, "Sword to Shield" showcases a more orchestral chamber quartet feel that provides excruciating beauty to the arrangement, kneeling at the shrine of forceful emotional rapture and acceptance. Here again, the pained buildup of "Dust and Bone" emits an overt sense of vulnerability, hesitantly bold in a rather odd way, as exemplified by the percussive percolations of Ross Cochran-Brash's kit. This gem is followed ideally by a swooning voice that glimmers in the twilight, "Awake" suggesting that gentle rekindling of awareness that initiates every day, the consciousness of breath and senses. A pastoral deflection on the originally bright "In Sunny Landscapes", a peeling off layers of resistance, reflective in the mood variations and the basic simplicity of the arrangement, the heavenly voice firmly ingrained, the sweet orchestrations ruffling no feathers, and a perfect landing finale. As if wishing to define the notion of contrast, the cottony mist of "Lapsing" is like witnessing a solo piano dirge that slowly escalates out of its two-note torpor, a dripping cello expressing deep felt emotions and a bass furrow opting for even more undertow gloom, this tremendous piece is where the darker side resides. Somber, ghostly, and utter melancholy. Would you be at all surprised if the final track is the apotheosis of this album, fittingly encapsulating all the qualities that make this a sensational discovery? "Howling at the Clouds" is the stamp on your sonic passport, proving that you have entered the realm of the divine. After the childlike piano intro, the zither has its say, the reverberating drums echoing off the walls, trembling guitars that seem to shriek and bellow, setting the table for the vocalized mournful story, eventually stormed by the onsetting winds of despondence, scattering the clouds in all directions. A magnificent silence it all.

This was an overwhelming experience the first time I heard it and now, ten times in, it just keeps revealing itself to me as a prized masterpiece.

4 stars Drastically positive and aggressive. Exactly via their 'controversial' debut album, we can hear lots of "meditative eastern sounds blended with drone, prog and psychedelia" according to their words. Also through the sleeve of their debut opus, their massive orientalism and ethnicity (maybe from the northern faraway nations) are active and vivacious all around. We the audience cannot help feeling something like their longing or admiration for Oriental musical culture and courtesy, and it's mysterious I (a Japanese) feel quite natural in their orientalische soundscape. That means, HASHSHASHIN's highly-qualified creation and highly-potentialized creativity should notify us that they play in a pretty natural manner.

Especially in the second track "The Ascetic" we can be beaten by complicated polyrhythmic beats produced by Evan's drumming and Cameron's bass playing. The melody lines are also quirky and edgy regardless of repetitive psychedelic phrases but clearly make full use of ethnic appearances. Their vibes make an invasion into our inner mind so swiftly and drench us in such a muddy atmosphere at one stroke. It's excellent that complex melodic / rhythmic structures do not break nor dissect the mainstream of this song. Battles of drums and guitars in the following track "Immoration" are splendid too. Their sound unification is perfectly solid, precise and unwavering. We cannot help but be surprised at their productivity. On the contrary, the first shot "Prostration" sounds much more meditative and psychic than other ones. Three-minute meditation should be appropriate for our preparation to authentic heavy shoegaze-y psychedelia.

My favourite is "Disintegration" that gets started with a magical tribal chorus (or chant?), followed by deeply sticky sound venoms just like Dark Buddha Rising. Quite impressive and immersive we can notice as if our mindset would collapse and melt down to the ground. Kinda short track gives us colourful kaleidoscopic hallucinations. On the other hand the previous (and the longest) one "Levitation" gives us a powerful diversity veiled in depressive dissonance. We enjoy speedy distortions, quiet psychic fantasies, and funky punksy movements simultaneously in the song. What a gorgeous one. Another smooth straight bomb can be attached in "Derge", filled with a post-metallic atmosphere. This song might be the most straightforward one in the opus, I guess. Such purity is good too. The last "Rebirth" is a sort of problematic one (in a fantastic sense) ... the latter phase is full of Lachlan's fuzzy guitar grandeur and creepy whispers just like the end of a human life. This contrast drives us into madness again.

Recommended for fans of post-rock ethnicity and eternity.

4 stars After having listened very much to the very prolific Russian multi-instrumentist SENMUTH, I wasn't expecting to find something sounding similar to him. The similarity is mainly in the rhythmic part and in the chord progressions. Of course, Senmuth plays a lot of ethnic instruments, but I'm not sure about the Korean Dulcimer that Yun plays excellently. I have no idea of the kind of skill neded to play it, but I have the impression of a virtuoso.

Similarity in the kind of sensations and mental images that their music is able to raise. Despite being from the far East, it's only on track #5 "Rust" that we can hear something clearly oriental, and it's a beautiful track. Repetitive but not obsessing, melancholic but not dark on which the fretless bass enters unexpected and takes the lead for few bars before giving the stage back to the dulcimer.

This track would be enough to make this album a good purchase, but the whole album is extremely enjoyable, moving from dark ambient to newagey oriental flavors. The musicianship of this trio is remarkable. Drums and sometimes percussion create a perfect background on which bass and dulcimer take the lead.

The absence of guitars and keyboards is not perceivable. When some distortion is needed it's the bass that works as an electric guitar.

The production is very clean, and for this kind of music a clear production is a must. I think it could be used to test ampli and speakers by audiophiles.

I want to mention track #8 "Hide and Seek". even if it has a fast and strong rhithm, it makes me think to Vangelis with the chord progression, with the addition of a very fast dulcimer playing. It's incredible the way it sounds "full" even without a keyboard background.

A 4 stars album from a highly skilled trio.

This Will Destroy You Post Rock/Math rock

Review by Boi_da_boi_124

4 stars Review #167!

While this EP isn't post-rock's most brilliant or experimental or innovative, it is beautiful and should not be underestimated. This is Young Mountain, California-based This Will Destroy You's debut EP(even though it clocks in at 36 minutes), and it is great. It is aptly titled, since the band was still maturing as they made this, but all the same, it is a peak in their discography. Characterized by soft, yet complex melodies centered around guitars and drums, this proves a fitting and enjoyable album for almost all lovers of post-rock. It soars through genres, from Prog Electronic, to Math Rock, to Noise. It is powerful, enjoyable, and worth the listen. Prog on.

4 stars From Montreal, Québec, this is the band's third full-length studio album release since 2012 and ninth including singles and EPs.

1. "Sunbath" (6:31) sounds like heavy, plodding psychedelia to me! Then, surprise! Strings take over in the third minute's "psychotic break" /interlude. Instrumental break out at 3:00 with full Mellotron support and multiple guitars strumming away with their thick, heavy, psychedelic power chords; sounds a bit like one of their big influences, THE MARS VOLTA. Great vocal shift at 5:20! Good start! (8.875/10)

2. "So Much For" (6:36)sounds very much like something from one of 2022's KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD songs--even down to the cheery hip-drug culture lyrics--but then the chorus is almost closer to the BEASTIE BOYS! But the jamming session that it turns into for the second half (with horns) returns to a KG&LW sound and style. Nice song, I just wish it were a little more organized and flowing. (8.667/10)

3. "Shook" (I'm Often) (4:44) quite dull and monotonous. Not even sure how to describe this music except insidious and repetitive. (8.33/10)

4. "Seeds" (7:45) I LOVE the droning infinity guitar throughout. And the Kevin Richard Parker (TAME IMPALA) voice and effect for singer David Palumbo. Also, the sound palette reminds me of Boston's GHOSTS OF JUPITER. By far the best and my favorite song on the album. (14.25/15)

5. "Link" (2:40) sounds like a cover of a CLASH song! Or else one of MOTORPSYCHO's. (8.5/10)

6. "Water, It Feels Like It's Growing" (7:45) interesting stylistic synthesis turns out to be most similar to heroin-filtered THE MARS VOLTA music. I do like the band's experimentalism with strings, horns, and layers of synths and effects. (13.25/15)

Total Time 36:01

B+/four stars; an excellent addition to any prog lover's music collection--especially if you like modern stoner rock.

4 stars Good to know their heaviness and rockability back to themselves. The previous studio-based work "Scary Muzak" possesses "dreamy but scary muzakish electronika" but this live album, on the contrary to that, is filled with a slightly post-y but fully heavy-crossover atmosphere that we can easily get familiar with (except the epilogue "Coming Home"). Guess it would have been better for the audience to accept their soundscape especially on stage in a natural and smooth manner, and even if this soundscape was launched 5 or 6 years ago, it is worthy for ULVER to release such a heavy live material as an official album. And the live performance was held just after one of their landmark albums "The Assassination Of Julius Caesar" and an ep "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" were out in 2017. "Grieghallen 20180528" symbolizes they should cherish and treasure their creativity in those days. Sounds pretty fantastic and pleasant for us.

Anyway "Grieghallen 20180528" consists of the songs in the two albums mentioned above, but their performances on the stage sound more qualified and straightforward than the two underlying creations. No dissonant effect nor quirky processing is needed in a venue but a sense of unity or affinity developed between performers and the audience should be important and essential. From the prologue "Nemoralia", we can feel such a rigid solidarity amongst their sound launches featuring fundamental rock instrumentals and additional synthesizers or electronics. The epilogue "Coming Home", much longer than the original one, is drenched in drastic post-rock, psychedelic texture, improvisational shoegaze-y development, melodic rhythmic flexibility, and especially infatuation around the audience. Cannot help listening carefully to the serious movement until the end of the track. We will be immersed in their real rock performance in 2018, for sure.

5 stars Just as expected. "Horros" was released as the third full-length album by a Finnish post-rock commune VIRTA. Already their musical talent was explosively blossomed just as their second album "Hurmos" launched in 2016 and we 'VIRTAnians' have looked forward to their next gem for about 7 years. Our expectations have risen up when their new single "Turmoli" was out in early 2023 (please refer to my humble review of the single), and finally in the autumn of the same year, our dream came true. Like some authentic Finnish post-rock combos, they greatly mix psychedelic basements with dark, inorganic electronic aromas and sorta sharp-edged (but heartwarming) anarchism. The previous opus is produced with a perfect blend of sounds, so it's natural for us to get driven mad by their latest one. The first air bomb "Aelita" tells us all mentioned above.

Quite appropriate for the prologue of this album is "Aelita", that features electronic quietness, complicated percussive rhythm innovations, solemn echoic chorus, and smooth enthusiastic saxophone solos. The instrumental combinations always call majestic surrealistic landscapes through our inner mind. The very last depressive sound vaporization is also dreamy. In "Tunneli" fantastic and addictive is every dissonant guitar-oriented sound miracle as well. Simple but energetic constructions of melody lines, and psychic mindful atmospheres are vivid and vivacious too. The following "Sola" reminds us of some similar veins to oriental tribalism via saxophone and percussion sounds. Electronicity beneath the song, enough for their own style, makes us feel something immersive to their experimentalism. Such an experimental creativity can be heard through the fourth track "Millennium" consisting of speedy rhythmical percussion attacks and saxophone-based passions. Pretty interesting are spoken words like 'an announcement in a Japanese train' in the middle part. The melody lines are not only complex nor fickle but also delicate and comfortable.

Another flowering, birds chirping and children laughing. In "Toukokuu" (May in English) lots of sound effects are effective around percussive enjoyments and talkative electric guitar playings. A short but fruitful one really. And guess they would say the blue sky is pretty deep and bright, and especially good for our overworked eyes in the next "Sininen". Repetitive melodic baselines express the magnificent blue sky is enormous and limitless all over. Without any breathing, "Tuuli Nousee" blows cool clean winds along with fresh keyboard streams, strictly precise but mysteriously humane percussion taps, melty guitar kisses, and slightly blunt saxophone tips. Sound faintness in the last scene is mystic too. On the other hand, "Karhu" is another mystery. Just like a pop candy, it makes our mouth sweet and happy. Such catchy, acceptable phrases in the former part of "Karhu", unsuitable for their musical style, can be heard via e.g. Japanese traditional folk music or so, but the middle occasion explodes massive postrock kicks. The epilogue "Aamu", that gets started with psychedelic repetitive phrases like Tubular Bells, should demonstrate true, serious values combined with vague electronicity, lingering chorus and synthesizer sounds, dramatic percussion, and totally crossover sound motivations.

Again let me say, bravo just as expected. Why cannot we call this kinda "appassionato"?

Tera Melos Post Rock/Math rock

Review by DangHeck
Prog Reviewer

4 stars "It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood! 'Cause rockin' makes us feel so good!"

Hailing from Sacramento, Tera Melos formed in 2004, releasing this, their rarely self-titled, generally untitled debut LP, in 2005. The album art here chosen, with its charmingly ugly script font, is likewise less familiar to me. Fronted by the so-Cali experimentalist Nick Reinhart, Tera Melos here features still-current founding bassist Nate Latona, in these early days (the first 4 years or so) drummer Vince Rogers, and, leaving just a year(?) following this release (in late-'06), second guitarist Jeff "The Worm" Worms. I'd've happily made up "The Worm" if it weren't for a very real 17 year old PunkNews.org article announcing his departure from the band. Untitled strikes me now--good Lord, like 10 years since my last listen-thru(?!)--as a mathematical Noise Rock album: a harsh and challenging listening experience. It's also before any use of (standard) vocals by them. Partially-realized half-truths above, but regardless its celebration here and by friends is warranted. Readier than ever, I'm thrilled to be here.

Our untitled debut before us is perfectly fitted with 8 practically untitled tracks. Our first is "Melody 1", the shortest of all at just over a minute's length. Get your motors goin' with this one, a soft number featuring the signature electro-noodling provided by Nick's plethora of delaying and reverberating (sometimes alien) guitar pedals (it's magic, it's alchemy). More familiar to me is "Melody 2", at first a hurried Math Rock number with memorable, super-wonky chord stabs. Please don't count it out haha. Beautiful melodies, truly, ideas from which seem to have developed into some of the great numbers off Drugs to the Dear Youth (2007) and Patagonian Rats (2010) to follow. Likewise, this builds on a well-established Math Rock foundation, harking back to Don Caballero, and reminding me of Tera Melos's contemporaries Giraffes? Giraffes! (whom I likewise highly recommend). Over a lengthy ambient conclusion, percussion seems to include the battering of a set of kitchen cutlery; flatware, as it were, being rhythmically thwacked from across the room. It's awesome, frankly. Onto the next one, "Melody 3" perfectly rides #2's coattails, with now-classic tap-arpeggios. Nothing to really write home about here, though; still, purty enough.

Up next, you guessed it(!), it's "Melody 4"! And we are back into the more discordant and wild side of Math Rock (still nowhere near as noisy as my terrible memory made it out to be), but basically just here at the start. Fascinating to me, the melodies so melodious here (in a genuine way), I hear major influence specifically on Emo-Pop 2-piece powerhouse Origami Angel (masters of discord and power, also like that aforementioned other 2-piece, G?G!). On the other side of the coin, in more notably progressive territory, dare I say it sounded like The Most at times. This should come as no surprise to those aware that Math Rock has had a word to say, a firm footing, throughout much of Emo's now ~40 year history. So, through all its colors, "4" rings loudly as Emo, Post-Hardcore more broadly, and the avant-garde, somehow neatly wrapped up into a single, tasty package. "Melody 5" is the second longest at nearly 9 minutes, featuring some wordless yelling, and robotic murmuring. A great example of what feels like instrumental storytelling, everything packs a punch, from the more emotive and evocative, to the heaviest slams. Nearing minute 6 is a keyboard melody which I was convinced briefly was The Office theme.

Vaguely recalling "Melody 6", some of the best of the melodies can be found herein. It's a forward drive. It's also beautiful, in my opinion. Again, remember the very relevant post-hardcore influence of this band; Don C., Faraquet, Slint all seem relevant to this discussion in their own ways. "Melody 7" feels like an appropriate follow-up to "6", likewise more clearly melodic, straightforward even. Very very cool track. In a sort of Shoegaze fashion, more of Nick's vocals can actually be heard hear as well, but it's completely buried in the mix, contributing to the composition, as vocals are wont to do. With a super heavy bridge, the return is a triumph, however brief (like a minute to the end haha). Finally, for all the marbles, is the whopping 29-minute "Melody 8". This is the 'moment' on the album where all of my past fears and confusions regarding noise resided. It is relentless, and I had to resist turning it down (since I thought my levels were pretty alright up until). Nick's guitar screams and wails. Nate's bass drones on, sometimes dropping out completely, sometimes warming up the chaos from behind. Vince on the drums just tears through it all (they couldn't have found a better replacement than in John Clardy). I'm knowingly 'new' to Jeff; he's killing it, too, obviously. There's some random piano jammed in here. We get some nice alone time in an eerie, liminal arcade. I'm not sure what else there is to say here, as it's really best to experience these sorts of musical adventures yourself. Helluva way to close out an album of any kind.

Review by BrufordFreak
Collaborator Honorary Collaborator

4 stars A last-minute attempt to sneak something else into the 2023 register by my favorite post-apocalyptic cinematic music creator from Bruxelles.

Line-up / Musicians: Monsieur Paraphon Battlestations

1. "Ravage" (38:06) more Blade Runner-like future industrial music. I'm not sure, however, if this one's pre- or post- apocalyptic; it's definitely not a soundtrack for Armageddon. I love the industrial drudgery, but the "love theme" inserted in the 20th minute is my favorite--where the emotional "meat" of the song really begins. Gorgeous dream-like whimsy in the 22nd through 24th minutes. Unfortunately, there's nothing else here too exciting or engaging: it's mostly a flow of background sounds of an urban town and its industries and parks, its activity and spaciousness; a wonderful testament to life in a town like Ghent (my favorite town in Belgium). (66/75)

Total Time 38:06

B/four stars; a wonderful "soundtrack" homage to life in industrialized urban Europe; highly recommended to all lovers of cinematic background soundtrack music.

— First review of this album —
3 stars WHYOCEANS has been the former Portuguese output of Macao's premiere post-rock since 2005, almost as long as the territory has been transferred back to China. The band has been quite a sensation with its live shows that incorporate cool visuals with its mix of alternative rock, psychedelia and soundtrack-like musical themes. The band's appeal has been popular not only on mainland China but in Taiwan and has been a major player in the Midi Music Festival and Spring Scream Music Festival. On top of that the band has received airplay on various radio stations around the world from Canada to Poland, France and Germany as well as South Korea.

For a near two decade existence, WHYOCEANS is only now releasing its third album DESERTED SYMPHONY in 2023 six years after its last album "Inmost Dens Of Emilie" emerged in 2017. The album continues down the path of Mogwai influenced post-rock with heavy doses of alternative rock and stellar light and fluffy piano runs which makes it feel like a 90s alt rock band is often jamming with a lounge performer! The album features seven tracks at about 42 minutes so unlike a lot of modern post-rock doesn't take the liberty of eating up every possible second of a modern CDs capability but then again it doesn't look like a CD has been released for this third album.

In many ways DESERTED SYMPHONY is business as usual with the band's ability to meld in traditional Chinese folk music that sounds like a dramatic operatic interlude with sung passages that evoke sniffs of Sigur Ros without the ethereal vocals. The musical procession generally relies on piano melodies to establish followed by a slow build up of guitar parts that culminate in heavy power chord rich crescendoes. The band relies on the established post-rock playbook which for a place like China where all of this is fairly new may be quite satisfying.

For my ears though i find WHYOCEANS to be rather run of the mill offering nothing new to the bloated world of post-rock nor does it excel at delivering a stereotypical album's run very well either. Granted this is a pleasant album that is deserving of a fanbase for those who love the Mogawai model of crafting post-rock but for my personal tastes it's not exactly my favorite stylistic approach. There are no jarring dissonant moments such as on a Godspeed! You Black Emperor or no substantial mood shifts. It's pretty much a straight forward type of album that sounds dated by at least 20 years. Recommended for those who love beautiful piano based classical music in their post-rock. For me it's too much a one-trick pony.
